I've only had this puffy sweater for a week, and it's already a legend at our house. This was the scene when I brought it home:
Me: (modeling the puffy sweater, quite pleased with myself) "Isn't it awesome?!"
Nate: "..."
Me: "You have a weird look on your face."
Nate: "Have you seen the sweater you're wearing?"
Bah, I love it, and not just because it makes me feel like Jerry Seinfeld appearing on the Today show. I wore it to Thanksgiving dinner, where it made quite a splash. People seem to have very strong reactions to it, either negatively or positively. The only problem I have found is that it doesn't fit inside my coat...seriously. I had to carry it into school today and then put it on when I got here. Plus, it doesn't fit inside my regular bag and so I had to bring it in it's own bag.
Oh, and I love this sweater so much that I'm working on a tutorial for an 'inspired by' cardigan - I'm hoping to have it up by the holidays or soon thereafter. Then we can all make mountains of puffy sweaters, perhaps even creating some sort of puffy-sweater-army, which we can use to conquer the world of non-puffy-sweaters. Stay tuned.

I love your puffy sweater.
I would never be able to pull that off in a million years- and you do it beautifully! That outfit really does kick ass.
I'd look like the Michelin Man if I wore that sweater...it's a beauty though!
Hey, go easy on us non-puffy-sweater wearers. You pull the look off beautifully though--very nice!
i love it! most days i am wearing something from h&m. i have yet to visit the new kenwood h&m, though!
LOL! I just saw that puffy sweater it H&Min Indy and thought it looked like brains, but you're absolutely right on with the Seinfeld reference. You wear it well, though!
Hehe, thanks everyone. Ohhh, that's the first time I've heard that it looks like brains, Maya (I have gotten "dead animal"). It's all part of the puffy sweater's charm.
I like the puffy sweater, it looks like layers of frosting from a piping bag.
Now you just need to practice your execution of the line "but I don't want to be a pirate"
Thanks, Lyddie! I've also been practicing Kramer's "I wanna be a pirate."
oh its lovely :) (even if it does need its own special bag!)

Oh-em-gee, I love the puffy sweater. Wear it with pride! It's very chic. :)
I LOVE the sweater. I saw it at H&M tried it on and almost bought it, but travel ALOT and decided that it was too bulky....so your story about it's having it's own bag made me laugh!
