Kitty Sweater

Our friend Thomas, from CityDictionary.com, is sporting a seriously festive Ugly Office Sweater. It’s got it all: ribbons, bows, kittens, trees & kittens.

My favorite thing about this picture is that Thomas’ co-worker, Colleen, has short sleeves on, so clearly this wasn’t taken in the middle of the holiday season. It’s Christmas in June! What a delightful concept.

Like us, the Raleigh News & Observer cares deeply about your office sweater. Unlike us, they think that ugly just ain’t gonna cut it.

While I think a ruffled short sleeved sweater is adorable, I don’t think it’s practical as your office sweater. It’s not really going to keep you warm and, more importantly, it’s just too cute to keep in your cubicle over the weekend. Let’s face it - the office drawer is no place for attractive clothing. Nobody puts baby in a corner.

What do you think? Should you try to make a fashion statement with your office sweater or is it okay to just give up fashion for function? Better yet, don’t just tell us what you think - show us!
