    $20 cashmere sweaters at Old Navy MY ASS!

    I was THERE on black Friday. And I do love the feel of cashmere. I thought, “This is Old Navy… it’s Black Friday… how bad could it be?”

    $52.
    That is how bad it could be.
    For a plain jain. Solid color. No print/stripe/whatever available. Sized actually smaller than I’ve ever seen them size before (my child would have had to have an XL and she is teeny tiny).
    Just a plain sweater. I’d not have paid $10 for it.

    (I did buy 3 sweaters and a pair of jeans though… don’t hate, please. They were cute and reasonably priced)
