18 years ago as a senior in high school I wore that yellow sweater. I don't remember why other than we were supposed to wear something hideous. I rummaged a second hand store and found the itchiest thing on their racks.
Last night the sweater was reborn. Just last month I looked at my box of costume clothing in the attic and told myself to just get rid of it because I likely would never use it again, but the in the back of my head was the little voice that said I would eventually have teenagers and they would need hideous clothing.
And so the 2017 ugly Christmas sweater was born. I found a glitter stag, silk poinsettias, and jingle bells. Added a touch of hot glue and hideous yellow sweater circa 1999 made it's way onto the runway again. It was a really proud moment as a mother.
