I was in need of a pick-me-up today, so I headed to the nearby mall before class for a cheap thrill. I picked up this gray sweater with elbow patches from Dean & Trent for just a little over USD 6. (Yea, I know the sleeves are a bit short, but at that price, should I even be thinking?) I found the elbow patch concept on a gray jersey sweater quite fresh actually, as elbow patches are more commonly seen on tweed jackets, and lately, on knit sweaters.

what an absolute find!
the short sleeves make it even better!
oh love it.
They´re cheap, jaja.
bought them at zara.
I though the sleeves were just 3-quarter length (or whatever that length I'm thinking of is called! :P) great shirt, and great price too! Sadly I've had no cheap thrills lately. :(
And oh glad you love Magnetic Poetry too! Sad thing is I do long have a metal door that can hold magnets, so my Magnetic Poetry has been sitting in a box for a while. :(

neon: thanks! it means a lot coming from someone with exquisite (and expensive!) tastes.
frederic: what did you buy at zara?
sc: I think Magnetic Poetry was originally intended for fridge doors, im sure you have one! A whiteboard would work perfectly too.
I love elbow patches on sweaters. I recently saw some black tights with white "patches" on the knees - unfortunately too expensive for tights (they just rip so easily) but really really wonderful, despite being reminiscent of volleyball knee pads.
Oops, I lied - they're thigh-highs, not tights. Here they are:
at 6 dollars i wonder how i make money doing this...
ah, but you wear it well. keep it up.
