lucky strike.

hope i don't get any rocks thrown my way for this... i'm a wardrobe snob, i realize. but it seems like gap has been sucking it up big time since, like, high school. remember how cool gap was? if i had an older sister, i'd probably say something like, "i was so jealous of stephanie's all gap, all the time wardrobe when she was in high school. i wanted to be just like her when i grew up..." remember the mandatory, annual renewal of gap denim overalls in your back-to-school wardrobe {price point $48}? it WAS so cool.

but lately - so, so lame. and cheap. and not the timeless, signature piece establishment mr. and mrs. gap dreamed it would be back in 1969.

so, strangely, immediately after that super stylish anthropologie moment, jen says to me, "should we humor ourselves and check in at gap... just in case?"

and so we did. and that's when i struck gold... with this sweater.

it's shamelessly a "rugby sweater". but it's tomato soup red... it has the perfect sleeve cuffs... plus, my all time fav - it's a crew neck... AND it fulfills my long time dream of being where's waldo's girlfriend, wenda... but, most importantly - i rocked it with another crazy stripe on sunday and loved every second of it. horizontal stripes AND vertical stripes. oy vey. i did it.

thanks, gap, for not sucking right now.
