Reindeer (Sweater) Games

It's that time of year again to bust out that unfortunate reindeer sweater you received from an aging aunt or grandmother, and to show your respect for said relative's unerring taste by wearing said sweater to a holiday gathering, where you will undoubtedly suffer the humiliation of running into the hot neighbor girl. Isn't that what happened last year? Well, this time around, I say ditch grandma's sweater. If she asks, tell her it was ravaged by moths, and you couldn't very well wear a moth-eaten sweater to Mother's holiday party. Be sure to show the appropriate degree of indignation, listen attentively as she tells you what kind of mothballs one should use, and then politely excuse yourself.

Here's a great cardi that screams neither prepster nor hipster, but just right. Neighbor girl will laugh no more.
