Way Back Wednesday - Sweater Ugly

Does everybody know what time it is? (no, not tool time) It's time to play the game where The Kept Woman asks us to post embarrassing pictures of ourselves online for all the world to see. This weeks theme is:

Calling all ugly sweaters, I repeat calling all ugly sweaters of the past: As an "adios" of sorts to winter let's have an UGLIEST SWEATER OF THE PAST Contest! There may even be a prize involved (assuming I get to the store, buy it, get it packaged and sent to the post office... don't laugh, it COULD happen)!

I almost thought I was going to have to stretch the rules today, but after almost an hours search I found the ugly. Can you think of a better way to waste an hour?? Didn't think so.

So here we go. All the way back to my fifth grade school picture. Okay, technically it's not a sweater, but a vest. It was constructed with yarn, though, so I think it counts. ORANGE. You're jealous, aren't you? Thought so. As hideous as it was, I think I was able to pull it off. Not a completely bad color for me.



Next, we're back in Paris, 1987, I believe. My sophomore year in high school. That's me on the left and my friend (at the time) L. I'm wearing my super cool jean jacket so you can't see it in all it's glory, but you can see the man on the front. Yup. Navy and white stripes with a guy on the front. Who the hell is that... and why was he on my sweater?? Looks like some kind of sailor dude, I think. What's really sad is that I remember LOVING this sweater. It had big shoulder pads and was nice and cropped...perfect to show of my super high wasted jeans. Hot.



Did you play?
