				<description>&#060;p&#062;Keep!  I love that sweater.  Was not fab on me (not my color).  But it looks amazing on you.  You keep it.  I will live vicariously.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Rules are meant to be broken and the sleeve length looks fine with the long layer underneath since it ends at the elbow.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Agree.  You look fab in this item, but even more importantly it looks like you really enjoy wearing it.  Killer smile!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I *love* it on you!  I also think that it looks really great with the long sleeves under it, so I wouldn't worry at all about the &#034;don't by layers with sleeves shorter than the tops worn under them&#034; thing.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I've been in love with Loft's short sleeve hooded sweater coat for about a month now.  &#060;a href=&#034;http://www.anntaylorloft.com/p-27949.shtml&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow&#034;&#062;http://www.anntaylorloft.com/p-27949.shtml&#060;/a&#062;&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I had to get my watch battery replaced, and decided to stop by loft, even though part of the 30 for 30 is not shopping for those 30 days.  Granted, I'm doing the 30 for 30 more for the remixing than the shopping ban (aka I'm not going to cheat and wear more than 30 items, but I'm not going to miss out on good sales on items that fit well and are my colors).  Anyway, of course my loft still has the sweater coat in stock (though it's sold out online) and in my size (which for this item is XSP).&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I brought it home, even though it breaks so many rules I have made for myself in the past year.  Those include:&#060;br /&#062;
- no chunky knits&#060;br /&#062;
- no hoods&#060;br /&#062;
- buy layers that can be worn March - October&#060;br /&#062;
- don't buy layers with sleeves shorter than the tops I want to wear under them&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;But it's so warm and cozy and yet chic!  I'm already having fantasies about wearing it on the plane ride to visit family in Seattle.  Plus I knit, so I have a HUGE appreciation for the construction (and that it would be hard to find yarn to make this myself for cheaper than what I paid for it).&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Opinions?
