Qualities of the Ex Boyfriend Sweater

October 18, 2010 ⋅  Email This Post ⋅  Print This Post ⋅ Post a comment

Madewell, a clumsily obvious name, is a division of J Crew, with an item called the ex-boyfriend sweater. It’s described as cozy and oversized, just like his only much softer. This got me to thinking about what other characteristics I’d use for a sweater by that name – (PLEASE JOIN IN.)

1. Like, but don’t love
2. Lost its shape
3. Often in a heap on the floor
4.  Can’t find it when I really need it
5. Coming apart at the seams
