Remember waking up on Christmas morning, running to the Christmas tree to open gifts, and frantically tearing into Grandma's package hoping for the latest version of Malibu Barbie only to find a hideous excuse for a sweater covered in kittens and bows? All you wanted to say was "damn it" but apparently, that's not appropriate for a seven year old to say. And, what's worse...your mom made you wear it for picture day at school as permanent evidence of your embarrassment.
Believe it or not, I am actually putting an animal sweater on my Christmas list and maybe Grandma will come through for me again! These are not the kittens and bows sweaters of the 80s and definitely do not belong in grandma's closet. These sweaters embody all things cute and stylish. They are appearing everywhere - puppies, tigers, foxes, kittens, owls, birds, chickens, you name it! Here are some of my favorites.
Top Row: J Crew, Free People, J Crew, Joie
Bottom Row: Topshop, asos.com, asos.com
