Four Sweaters and a Funeral

I've been searching for a new sweater coat/cardigan. Long-ish, preferably in grey or black. Need to replace the one I currently wear. Everyday. For the past seven weeks. Here's an organic french terry cardigan from Urban Outfitters for $59.99.

How about this long sleeve rib cozy sweater from Bloomingdale's for $98?

A cable knit car coat from Nordstrom for $88...

Or...the Joie "Sydney" mixed cable sweater vest (Bloomie's again) for $208.80. Hmmm? While I do like the belt AND the color AND the knit on this one, it's missing some sleeves at this price.

Now on a completely different subject. But one which had been brought to my attention during the sweater search. American painter Andrew Wyeth died last Friday at the age of 91. I think my roommate in college had this poster puttied to the wall on her side of our dorm room.

I wasn't aware that Wyeth had died.

I like that 3rd sweater a lot.

It's absolutely cool with me if you post the dream jars on your blog. Just source the shoppe. They just sold but you should still be able to get the picture from the sold items list.

Thanks!

I hadn't heard about Wyeth dying either. Seems like I had just seen him on a piece on CBS Sunday Morning and he was still painting.

I like the first sweater. It's different, yet classic.

sad about wyeth.
I think the last two sweater are really dated, I'd splurge on the 2nd. You can wear it with jeans and a tank, and over dresses too. Look the comfiest!
