3 reasons why I need a green cardigan

1. Because I realized--after a super-traumatizing trip to American Apparel on Friday, where my sister and I tried on some of the store's trendier wares and wound up looking like Jem, Flashdance , and the entire cast of Staying Alive (the dance-tastic John Travolta follow-up to Saturday Night Fever )--that the only '80s revival I can possibly participate in is one that harks back to Elizabeth McGovern's poet-y, wholesome femininity in She's Having a Baby .

2. Because the only look I am close to fully rocking right now is that later-years Sylvia Plath thing I told you about, and the more pukey, mossy green sweaters somehow feel so Cotswolds.

3. Because I own far too many heather gray cardigans, and heather gray looks horrible on me, and I deeply need to get out of my knitwear rut and try something new and perhaps more skin flattering like this, this and maybe even this.

P.S. What my sister and I looked like in American Apparel clothes:
