Striped sweater £198 by Sonia By Sonia Rykiel

Say's Elle: 'Update your wardrobe for the new season with a classic knit from Sonia by Sonia Rykiel. The autumn alternative to the striped Breton top, team this one with cigarette pants or skinny, ankle grazer jeans and a chic pair of patent, tassle front loafers.'

Urmmmm... is it just me or is this a ridiculous and gross recommendation? In my humble opinion (;0)) this is an average boring sweater normally available EVERY winter in your highstreet M &S, H & M or BHS..... £198 fricking quid - are you having a laugh?! What I would buy with £198... NOT a boring stripey sweater, and I don't care how well it's been made or what it's made of.... B O R I N G. And it's verging on maroon. Yuk.

(I'm also reluctant to post such an ugly thing on my otherwise beautiful site - I'll have to update it soon as I can't have this monster headlining it.)
