Smile and the World Smiles With You

I don’t know why I love this Jean-Charles de Castelbajac sweater, but I do.

Gorgeous blogger ENC of Observationmode says, “Now you need to get it, put it on, then spill the filling from a raspberry jelly-filled donut down the front so it will look like it was shot in the head.” That would be a nice touch, wouldn’t it? I’ll have to consider that.

But if I were going to buy one thing this second, I’d probably go for the Annacat jacket over at Vintage-a-Peel.

  2. Aw what a happy sweater! I bet everyone would smile at you if you went round wearing it.
    Not quite so sure about the whole raspberry spillage though, hehe. Well as long as it’s not put away in that state.

  3. I LOVE THE SMILEY TOP! I think it was made for me! I have a collection of smiley buttons and read The Watchmen simply because there’s a smiley button on the cover!!!

    WendyB, you always find the most fabulous stuff!

  7. That jacket beckons you, Wendy. And you’d look awesome in it…although a shot-in-the-head smiley face would be hilarious…

    Decisions, decisions.

  9. Love the colors and print of the jacket. I need the t-shirt right now. Getting ready for my dinner party. Husband is sleeping…worked a night shift last night. I’m setting the table for 12…9am the frigging fire alarm goes off. I can’t remember the damn code! Turns out there is something wrong with the a/c. I figure that out when i nearly bust my ass on the wet wood floors. It has to get better!

  10. Darling (my captcha word),

    This is a tough one. I can’t figure out which I like more, the jacket or the smiley sweater! They’d both be great on you.

    Thanks for using my joke, darling!

  13. Oh! Have you seen the adorable little girl wearing a long happy-face tee with blue-and-white striped leggings at Garance Dore’s site? (In her most recent “no bottoms” post.) I’ll bet that you would look equally lovely in such leggings and tee . . .

  20. ENC’s comment just makes this post.

    I remember being really disturbed a couple of years ago, remember the nu-rave trend? I found myself loving this upside-down smiley face bright yellow Tsubi/Ksubi sack dress.

  24. You are the only person I know who could pull of that sweater and make it fabulous and fashionable.You are that god! However your beautiful smile outshines even that Koolaid size smile!:-D

  31. That sweater is way to freaking happy for me. Momma would need some Percocet to rock that!

    Love that jacket though, you should snag that and have them throw in the wig for fun 😉

  43. Ah that surely is the best sweater ever, it would make me smile, adn everyone that saw it would smile, the whole world would be a better place if I bought it!

  46. That jacket is divine and you could wear it with everything. Wonder if you would get tired of the smiley sweater- I would. Vintage OK w/with a little wear, just as long as no smells.

  49. hahaha….that idea is just too awesome!!! now you really must get it! I think that the sweater would definitely put a smile everyone’s face 🙂
