Sure, I don't need another sweater, especially in TX. But sometimes I'm not here. And for a long time, I wanted a striped rainbow sweater that wasn't too loud, not dominated by blocky stripes, and this one is perfect. It's soft and looks fresh and trendy, but also classic. The price was also a factor, and it shipped quickly. And thank you for the little extra bracelet gift; it's a nice touch of sparkle. :)
