Nice, uh...sweater?

Today I saw an argyle tube top.

Here's the thing about Russian women: while some are very well dressed, and others very badly dressed, the majority of them have outfits that have potential. Except then they go wrong. Fatally wrong. Be it the leopard print dress with a zebra print belt, the blinged out jeans, or the fishnet stockings with an otherwise classy dress. Granted, these poor women don't have many options, Russian clothing being as overpriced, poorly made, and just, well, cheap-looking as it is. That said, some of these women could use a lesson in the beauty of simplicity.

Case in point: the owner of said argyle tube top was neatly dressed in a cute, flattering skirt, with a well-fitted button-down shirt. The two together would have been more than adequate. Instead, this girl looked at herself in the mirror, thought, "hmm, it's just missing that little something," and added the tube top.

Call me a purist, but if it's cold enough to wear wool around your torso, it's cold enough to wear sleeves.
