Your Grandmother's Homemade Sweater- Evolved

Oh there is just something about those chunky knits and argyle designs that screams casual chic. Instead of dishing out over $100.00 for this irresistible trend, get your mom or grandmother to put their knitting skills to the test. Not only will they be thrilled to make you something, you can avoid that cheesy Christmas sweater during this holiday season.
Not only is this trend hitting the runways, especially in D&G's fall 2010 collection, it's hitting the streets. From having that perfect over sized sweater with simple leggings and boots, why not mix it up and add a little more flare to that simple sweater feel.  Skip the sweater idea, make a strapless knitted shirt, shorts... why not make a skirt? Pair it with a belt, leather jacket and classic black pumps,  you can instantly turn this cozy outfit into an edgy, make people stop and stare outfit.
Who wouldn't mind having people admire their grandmother's homemade sweater? They never need to know.

It can be our little secret.
