I was really touched by how many of you expressed your confidence that I have a unique ability to manage this garment, much as though it were a frothing Rottweiler and I were Cesar Millan taming it through my calm assertiveness.
And those of you who voted “hideous”–don’t come all over apologetic should you ever encounter me in the flesh and knitwear. I asked. And Miss Conduct follows her own advice, and never asks questions she doesn’t want the answers to.
And yes, I will post some pictures when it arrives, and you shall be free to mock me. (Say what you will, the Golden Rod Rainbow Stripe Shawl Sweater Shrug Cardigan is not as bad as this outfit. My First Lady fashion fangirlishness took a serious blow when I saw that picture.)

I love your new sweater! I meant to vote yes in your poll. It’s quite stylish although it’s one of those garments you either love or hate – no in between. Wear it well!

I think calling it GRRSSSSC for short is totally plausible. Just kind of rolls of the tongue. GRRSSSSC. GRRSSSSC.
Just don’t say it with any cats nearby; it seems to be some kind of serious swear word in Cat.

Oh thank goodness. I saw that it sold and I was worried it had sold to someone besides you.
Also your deployment of that sweater on the Miss C. blog today made me laugh out loud, so you have already demonstrated your ability to wrangle it.

What FJ said – you’ve already gotten your money’s worth out of it and you haven’t even received it yet. Actually, I think you could probably deduct it as a business expense now.
Mrs. O can do no wrong. She even rocks the tween-embellishment look. *googly-eyed fangirl sigh*

I’m glad you got the sweater, I think it will look great. Can’t wait to see pictures of it!
I don’t know what Mrs. O was thinking when she wore that thing, maybe she ran out of clean clothes and raided her daughters’ closets that day!

Hah-hah, A! Indeed. Mrs. O’s note to self: “Remember not to let Sasha & Malia play ‘Dress Mom’ on a day when meeting foreign dignitaries.”

I love it. I may go buy the other one listed. :)

I kind of like Michelle Obama’s outfit, actually… maybe not what I’d expect from the First Lady, but I’d borrow it if I could.
Like someone pointed out, maybe she was matching her “happy mood” with that outfit. I imagine when you wear your rainbow sweater, you’ll similarly match it to your feelings (“I ROCK!!!”). Yay!
