An ugly sweater is for life...

...not just for Christmas.  'Give an ugly sweater the home it deserves' say the people at Beyond Retro this festive season {http://www.beyondretro.com/Catalogue/Catalogue.aspx?GenderID=1543&WeLove=christmas}.  I picked up a flyer the other week at their Brick Lane branch which tells the story of Stitch, their ugly Christmas sweater.  I have been trying to persuade Mr R that he should rock one on the 25th, so far with zero luck. We were talking about the whole novelty Christmas knit trend at work today and have decided that instead of going all-out-glam at our Christmas party on the 16th, we all have to wear a Christmas knit/sweat and are going to have a prize for the best most hideous.  So the search commences, cue ebay/thrift/vintage store search!  In the mean time I thought I would bring you this luxury take on the idea, this cute sequin puppy&kitten wreath merino wool Christmas knit courtesy of Markus Lupfer and the Christmas sweaters page on net-a-porter.com  - who you calling ugly?...
