Personally, I think I prefer it without the monogram but I can see how that does add something special to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-related-b-d-present-for-the-boy#post-1385441 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 14:14:44 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1385441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I was thinking navy too, but was thinking of having it monogrammed and trying to determine what color stitching... My only hesitation is what if I order and the size is wrong... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-related-b-d-present-for-the-boy#post-1385428 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 13:52:23 +0000 viva 1385428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love this whole idea. Please post a picture of him wearing it when he finally gets it!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-related-b-d-present-for-the-boy#post-1385423 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 13:49:06 +0000 Angie 1385423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote J.Crew hoodie all the way. I can't see it in red though. How about navy?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-related-b-d-present-for-the-boy#post-1385420 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 13:46:43 +0000 jackiec 1385420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic idea! My DS just turned 12 and I can see this being a big hit. In fact, my other DS is 13 and you've just given me a Christmas present idea. Hmm. However my guys run super super hot so maybe not. But my 12 y.o. has to dress up pre-hockey games, and has a gorgeous but pricey Brooks Brothers button down we picked up for a wedding in the spring. He absolutely adores it and wears it with his (lucky) tie that I got him as a gift before every hockey game. He glows whenever he wears the ensemble. **big grin**</p> <p>Can't wait to see what you decide (and his reaction ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-related-b-d-present-for-the-boy#post-1385404 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 12:50:22 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1385404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for the ideas and support guys!! That means so much... He is all over the map with colors - he wears a lot of orange but I think red is more at the top of his favorite list. The chili might be perfect (but the olive does intrigue me too, Inge..) And what a brilliant thought Gryffin, that this is a blazer stand in. It really is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-related-b-d-present-for-the-boy#post-1385385 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 11:55:44 +0000 gryffin 1385385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah - I also like the navy best. I think it's special, dressier (hey it is cashmere!!) and for this age group it's basically a really cool blazer stand in as well as rough and tumble. Thread color - what is Ethan's favorite color? I like the chili, as Inge suggested. You need something bright and light enough to show up since the navy is dark, but my personal preference is not something with too much harshness of contrast. The marine is also calling to me. What do you like and what color coordinates in with his wardrobe best? Honestly you can't go wrong, he's going to be sooooooooooooo happy!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-related-b-d-present-for-the-boy#post-1385374 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 11:12:41 +0000 Inge 1385374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an absolutely marvelous idea, Sarah! I am excited with you, and have no doubt Ethan will be over the moon with this very special prezzie.<br />I also prefer the navy over the grey. I like the diamond insignia monogram, it has an arty feel without being overly baroque, but the clean lines of the classic block are great too.<br />Re colour: hm, the chili or olive would look good with the navy and be a little unexpected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-related-b-d-present-for-the-boy#post-1385373 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 10:51:54 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1385373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh look, the JCrew one that Gryffin found can be monogrammed.<br /> <a href="https://www.jcrew.com/boys_special_sizes/Size16/sweaters/PRD~B1000/B1000.jsp?Nbrd=J&#038;Nloc=en_US&#038;Nrpp=48&#038;Npge=6&#038;Ntrm=Cashmere&#038;isSaleItem=false&#038;color_name=navy&#038;isFromSearch=true&#038;isNewSearch=true&#038;hash=row2" rel="nofollow">https://www.jcrew.com/boys_spe.....;hash=row2</a></p> <p>What do you think? I like the sweatshirt in Navy - seems dressier/more special than the heather grey. If I did it, what style/color monogramming (see photo)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-related-b-d-present-for-the-boy#post-1385372 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 10:38:05 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1385372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow.

I just wanted to mention that I did order the J.Crew navy sweatshirt, but we decided to save it for Christmas because John had already planned to get him a really nice skateboard and I hadn't told him of my plans to buy the sweatshirt. (Apparently we don't communicate well in our house...) Rather than have two big birthday gifts, we opted to save mine for Christmas. Even I understand that as much as Ethan will love the cashmere, it really can't compete with a fancy new skateboard. He is a 12 year old boy after all! That being said, I don't think I have ever been prouder of him than when he saw Adam Levine on "The Voice" wearing a pink tee and he said "oh Mom, can you imagine how cool it would be if I had a pink cashmere shirt?!" I almost re-made my own pink cashemere top for him on the spot! But logic prevailed when I realized that I probably would have ruined it and then neither of us would have pink cashmere. That would just be wrong...</p> <p>So, now I wait till Christmas, and am left in awe that my baby is 12. I think maybe I should be sad somehow, but the kid just keeps getting more and more fun and interesting and awesome. I did have a moment last week though of wishing he would stay little forever when he saw a Victoria Secret commercial and said "why on earth would anyone want pink eyebrows?" When I explained that they were talking about pink bras, the look of faint disgust on his face was priceless.</p> <p>Here is a link to the sweatshirt: <a href="https://www.jcrew.com/boys_special_sizes/Size16/sweaters/PRD~B1000/B1000.jsp?N=18&#038;Nbrd=J&#038;Nloc=en_US&#038;Nrpp=48&#038;Npge=1&#038;Ntrm=Cashmere&#038;isSaleItem=false&#038;color_name=NAVY&#038;isFromSearch=true&#038;isNewSearch=true&#038;hash=row6" rel="nofollow">https://www.jcrew.com/boys_spe.....;hash=row6</a></p> <p>This is the original thread:<br /> So... Ethan's 12th birthday is in December and I have had a crazy thought that I wondered if you all would like to participate in. I feel like this is pretty extravagant for a child, but I would love to buy a cashmere sweatshirt or sweater for him. He has recently become obsessed with cashmere. I have only two cashmere items myself and as soon as he touched it for the first time, Ethan was done for. He actually asked to sleep in my pink top one night. I let him, and it made him so happy. I have argued with myself over this for all of the obvious reasons - he will grow out of it, won't be careful with it, it's too expensive for a child, we live in FLORIDA for Pete's sake! But... It's his birthday, he grows slowly, he likes oversized tops, he adores sweatshirts (even in the summer), we keep our house cold, and did I mention that it is his birthday? </p> <p>Am I crazy? If not, would you like to help me pick it out? I am definitely leaning more towards sweatshirt than sweater - he is a little skateboarding dude after all... I did find some at J.Crew but haven't looked further. Although he is turning 12, he is no bigger than most 10 year olds, but he does prefer to wear things much baggier than needed. I'm guessing something like youth-large or 10/12 would be in the right neighborhood. </p> <p>Anyway, since you all have taken my funny stylish boy into your hearts, I wondered if you might like to participate? </p>
