It's odd how you misspelled "Monique" as "my mom" ... I just don't understand ...

Going through all my ski clothing today, I realized that I have a totally NEW Neve Molly Sweater, size L, in black and white. It's the one that is colored blocked and has a full zipper. It's a great sweater but I am no longer wearing black jackets, so I probably won't wear it.

$60 shipped in the US, less than I paid and less than it is selling for on STP. I know I could return it, but I just did a big STP return and don't plan to make any more purchases for a while.

You know you want it!

Super pretty, but if you're a large that brand must not fit me at all!

Their stuff does run a bit small. But that is one SUPER cute sweater!

Cute boots, shnu!

I just bought a Neve sweater about 6 weeks ago, otherwise I would!

Not revealing any big secrets here, but that picture of me is a few years old, and I am definitely a large in many brands, such as ski jackets, etc.

FWIW, I have found the Neve sweaters to be pretty much on target, size wise. (And I should know, as I have several of them!!! ). It's definitely my favorite brand for sweaters and base/mid layers.

I agree, after I bought several sweaters from them, it's my favorite too. I love the wool softness and quality and the designs are very stylish. I wear most of my Neve sweaters to work. I have the same sweater in blue by the way.

Unless that comes down to your knees, though, I can't believe it would fit me! Maybe I need to go to the local ski shop and try a couple on, just to see . . .

Cute boots, shnu!

Thank you, hardly not chance for me not adopting them. Even Nike is not the brand I would usually buy shoes or even boots

I will probably return the sweater since no one is interested.

Since I liked my new Outdoor Research jacket so much, I bought a pair of OR gloves. They had a pull tab for easy removal. It seemed like a good idea. Note the "had"; the right one tore off after about 4 times taking them off. Can you say "defective"? So I should be able to return them for free.

So I may as well return the sweater as well since it won't cost me $6.95. I also have a pair of ski pants which will be returned. Inspired by the money I'm going to get back, I bought a new pair of ski pants and a warm top to accompany my new blue Sunice jacket.

Can you say "ski clothing junky"? I guess there are much worse addictions. :D

 

[contesstant]

Wait, you bought an Outdoor Research jacket? Which one? Mine is still my fav ski jacket.

 

[skibum4ever]

It's the Alibi jacket. I bought it last May.

I believe that one of our fellow so-Cal Divas owns one as well.

 

[contesstant]

That's a great jacket!

Well I just found out that my snow tires don't fit the new truck. So.....if I can find new rims I can use the tires, but......

AARGH! What a pain. Can you return the tires for some that fit?

 

[Swamp Dog]

somehow it works.

Second hand store score yesterday: Magenta packable down sweater with hood that actually fits as a mid layer = $6.99!!! SWEET!
