My friend Melody -- fashion meets fugly sweater
OK, my friend Melody (seen at right) couldn't look ugly if she tried. But here she was trying with her $2 sweater she bought at a Goodwill in Oklahoma. You can't see from this photo, but it has mini bells on it...and yes, they jingled! She wore it as a dress with a Santa-like belt to a holiday-themed ugly sweater party.
Here on CafeMom, there was a lot of buzz about ugly sweaters....
In her journal, CafeMom LeaJnice shows off her sweater -- it lights up!
And CafeMom ElizabethTaylor and her husband wore some Santa and Christmas tree knits to their family's annual ugly sweater party.
It seems like it would be a really fun tradition to start and I have to say...maybe the sweaters aren't the most fashionable, but everyone looks adorable in them -- and it's good spirited fun.
Have you ever been to an ugly sweater party?
Let's have one right now! Hmm...what will I wear? OK, I would love one that lights up, maybe with strings of lights around the collar and a big Rudolph as the main image with his nose lighting up too, of course. What about you?
Haha, I swear, this is now the biggest thing to do for Christmas is the Ugly Sweater Parties. I heard 3 friends/family of mine doing it! LOL
never heard of it........but it sounds like alot of fun........i am gonna suggest it next year for our work party...........LOL

The two presents I got from my mother this year were some great ugly sweaters. Both have snow men and the hats are felt that stick out of the sweater. I wish I had somewhere to wear them to!
