As we all know, every beautiful kilt goes perfectly with a cable knit sweater. Last year I got a light cable knit for myself and one for my sister for $1 each at K-Mart. Today I wondered if the Salvation Army near the seminary would have any decent looking, heavy cable knit sweaters (my old one could be wearing out soon, you know!). SO, when I left school today, I stopped at the SA thrift store, and, to my delight, they had a wonderful looking sweater (cream color) that had never been worn...the store tags were still attached from Lord and Taylor.

Well, seeing as the tag had my boss' name on it (all the ministers and church goers laugh here!), I paid the $10 (even though it seemed like a lot of money for a thrift store sweater, but, hey - it was brand new)and brought the lovely sweater home to meet its new friend the MacArthur kilt.

I had never been to a Lord and Taylor store before, so I just looked it up online. I found the store, then went to the men's sweaters department (the ladies will tell ya...the men's department is ALWAYS the best place to shop...well, almost always!). AND, now I must admit that I am EVEN MORE DELIGHTED with this sweater...what I paid was a proverbial steal! WOW!! I could not believe how much this sweater was worth! DOUBLE WOW! Gotta love a good bargain!
