Alright dude, so lately I have been craving some clothing inspiration, if that makes any sense. Like that one piece that makes you wanna spend three hours getting ready cause it’s climaxing when you finally get to put it on. Recently, I was thinking about the upcoming holidays and how much I am looking forward to them, I mean, more so than I have in a long long time…particularly New Year’s. The year 2007 was, shall we say, slightly less than stellar all in all, but as it comes to an end, I am beginning to see that 2008 has all the makings of being particularly amazing, so I want to ring it in style, i.e. I wanna look hot as hell.

Stilettos and sexy jeans are a given. But nothing in my closet seems good enough as far as tops are concerned, so I went on the prowl for the perfect New Year’s top, with some basic parameters in mind. One, it’s going to be f-ing freezing out, so no strapless or spaghetti’s, etc. Two, no glitter, sequence, or all-around “pizzazz” of any kind, the reason should be self-evident. And three, it has to be some what reasonably priced.

After about an hour of online browsing/neglecting my work, nothing had caught my eye and I was beginning to despair. But then, I saw it…God in the form of a Sonia Rykiel backless sweater. I mean, flawless. All that I could possibly hope for. Not only does it look amazingly fitted, but I am in love with the black and charcoal stripes, cause they are perfect and dark for nighttime, but a nice little twist on the solid black that I almost always wear. And the back is incredible. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of the cleave, but backless tops are without a doubt the sexiest thing ever. It’s such a sweet little surprise.

Backless halters are bit done (plus, cold)…so the backless sweater is absolutely perfect. Price wise, it’s a little expensive for my grad school budget, but it’s also 50% off, so relatively speaking it’s a steal. Long story short I had to have it. And overall it’s a small price to pay for that golden feeling of wearing something so amazing and subsequently making your ex feel like the biggest idiot in the entire world. In fact, that’s priceless. It’s en route to my house as we speak.
