Anyone else feel weird when they see pictures of "Ugly Sweater" parties on Facebook and genuinely like all of the "ugliness" displayed? Matt and I were looking at the page of a mutual friend who was featured in such a photo album, and he pointed out that the sweater I was wearing because I love a crazy pattern probably would have made a debut at that party, had it been made available to someone. We then continued on through the album, and there were more than a handful of sweaters I would gladly wear IRL, given the chance. What does this say about me?
Sweater: Thrifted (duh); Jeans: Vintage; Booties: Old Navy
Mostly, I think it says that I like what I like and I'll wear what I please. LG OUT.
I have a sweater, that started out as an "ugly sweater" and then I realized I loved it... so now I wear it just because. :) Love this one!

I don't think it's ugly either!
DeleteAnd thanks about the pants: I found them at a vintage store for like a tenth of their retail! Score!
Leah, I feel ya girl. Literally last night we had an "ugly" Christmas sweater party and I liked some of the sweaters a few girls had on. They were all like,"This is the ugliest sweater I have." Me: I can see myself wearing that proudly. haha!
ReplyDeleteEmma, totally! Don't feel ashamed though; wear what you like!
DeleteMan I love "ugly" sweaters. Most of what I see with that description isn't ugly to me at all!
ReplyDeleteYou're not alone!

Yay! I'm glad others feel the same way : )
DeleteOooo I'm loving the high-rise bell bottoms, you look amazing (as per usual)
ReplyDeleteThanks Marlen!
DeleteI know, these jeans will forever be my favorites.
I totally feel ya on this! I pretty much love at least half of the sweaters deemed "ugly". but I think most people MUST agree because they're all over sites like Urban Outfitters, etc., and I can't imaging people are just buying them for ONE holiday party?
ReplyDeleteTwo years ago before I had my blog or vintage shop I bought a sweater for an office ugly sweater party, which I just remember earlier this week. Totally digging that baby out because I think it was actually quite cute!
That's what I was thinking too, that the trend must at least be gathering a little bit of steam if people are straight up buying them from stores.
DeleteDig it out!
