Happy Horrible Holiday Sweaters!

Unbeknownst to me, it's Ugly Christmas Sweater Day! How did I miss that update? Perhaps with all the apocalyptic madness flying around, this vastly more important celebration got lost in the fray. Since it's my job to inform, consider yourself in the know. If you have something in your closet knitted by an aunt/crocheted by your grandmother/bought on clearance during a moment of weakness that you are too embarrassed to wear in the daylight, here's your chance to put on that wreath-decked monstrosity and flaunt it with pride. Below are some fine Out-of-Door examples for inspiration:

Evan is wearing a Bugs Bunny number in holiday red, complete with "What's up, Doc?" emblazoned around the midriff. This is finished with the perfect accessory - his high-wattage smile.

Chase's sweater is less holiday and more horrible, but it scores major points for the sheer vividness of the design. Don't be fooled - the lighting was a bit dim but in strong sunshine this one leaves spots behind your eyelids when you blink. Total knockout!

Sara sports a sassy vest sprinkled with stars and snowmen. Her subdued pants and coordinating shirt make for an ensemble that tells the world, "Hey, I know it's ugly, and I'm rockin' it anyway." Way to keep it classy, Sara!

Saving the most sparkly for last, Matt is dazzling in a vest that will go down in history like Rudolph's nose. Two bedecked Christmas trees complete with wrapped packages festoon this work of, um, art, and Matt's gentle smile lets us know that he is at peace with his inner glitter monster. He wore this all day in an act of fashion heroism. Thanks for your sacrifice, Matt!

Well, there you are. If you are inspired to wear your own terrifically eye-popping holiday dazzler, get in touch and send us a photo. Happy Holidays, everyone!
