Hanukkah - Day 2

This Spring Break, we're going skiing. So I said, I can't go skiing without something Fair Isle Knit.
Hence Hanukkah present 2 - J.Crew Chunky Fair Isle Knit funnelneck sweater!

By the way, tonight was a very Jew-tastical night. We got the accordian player to sing the longest dreidel song ever (10 verses long!!!) and finished up with fried potatoes and jelly donuts. If I'm going on a cruise in a couple of weeks, this is probably not the best way to prepare for a bikini. Oh well!

But back to the sweater. I've been yearning for something fair isle for you-don't-even-understand how long. I have this friend, IL, who is seriously OBSESSED with anything and everything fair isle. I thought the best place to start was a sweater so...voila!
It's chunky but not as heavy as you would think, and pretty long. Like, you can wear it with leggings length. (On an unrelated note, leggings and tights are different. Tights are not pants. Want more proof? Go to tightsarenotpants.com. Yes, there's a website) You can button the neck to make it more of a turtleneck, or leave it open with a black tank underneath when it's not really that warm (the weather is no excuse to abstain from printed outerwear). How I envision it: black tank, black leggings,  worn-out black leather boots, hair in a top knot, plum lip tint, and vintage pearl earrings. Hot chocolate optional.
