This weekend, during the Simon mall fashion event, I took a quick browse 'round Nordstrom and picked up the black version of this sequined sweatshirt. The sequins are a bit itchy without another layer underneath, but not unbearable, and it is supposed to be machine washable (on delicate, turned inside out in a lingerie bag).

I found it online just now and wanted to share since the sale price makes it quite reasonable, if anyone's still looking for their fancy sweatshirt for fall/winter.

Suz, this could work for your casual statements - the navy, maybe, if it's not too close to your BR one.
