Saturday Stops - Sweater

All Aboard the Meme Express – Saturday, January 30, 2010

The last weekend in January, in much of the world, spells sweater weather. (Of course, most of us don heavy-duty parkas and winter gear on top of our sweaters as well.)

Sweaters are popular this year – particularly cardigan sweaters. Michelle Obama, American First Lady, is often photographed in cardigan sweaters.

In fact, cardigan sweaters have become Mrs. Barack Obama’s trademark fashion must-have, particularly for more casual occasions. Michelle Obama seems to have a cardigan sweater to accompany nearly every style she selects - except, perhaps, for her most formal ensembles (as for White House state dinners and other black-tie occasions).

Of course, a classic children’s television personality also displayed a partiality for cardigan sweaters? Remember Fred Rogers, or Mister Rogers Neighborhood? Mister Rogers nearly never went without a favorite cardigan sweater on his program for young viewers.

The Meme Express prompt for today is cozy for a winter weekend:
