Review for USB notetaker:

Recording voices in household clearly states what's going on when you are not around to hear for yourself.

What do you think is going on in this person's house, anyhow?

Mesh sweater with a sequined tank top

The killer part is the note from the line's creator:
“To me, summertime means nautical. Even though I don't sail, I always wanted to belong to a yacht club. I wanted to dress preppy and just tell my friends, ‘We're going to the yacht club for lunch this afternoon!’

Well, this outfit will take you there – and then some. This can be your one new and special summer outfit. It will take you down to the shore, to your neighbor’s backyard barbecue, to the mall ­– and of course, to the yacht club.

Nautical is just so ‘in’ right now. Let this comfy, cozy outfit be your summer staple.”


So what are you wearing to the yacht club this year?

Gag me with a spoon!

Dude, this is "Valley Girl" all over the place.

But, to the yacht club, I would wear a nice, demure ascot, an Oxford, comfy deck shoes, and a deep blue blazer with the monogram "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" near the crest, and on the back I'd have, safety-pinned, some Minor Threat poster artwork on a patch -- oh, oh! and a belt that read "Yuppie Fascist Pricks" in gold lamé.

Oh, oops... I think I've accidentally created "Yacht Punk" couture.

Now I want to wear that. Gee thanks.

My Vibram Fivefingers! They were designed to protect the toes while yachting, after all. Now to engineer a way around the whole seasickness thing. Oh, and rob a bank or go to a Wall Street bankruptcy auction or something, to procure the yacht.

That second one makes me think of a Woot intro...

Is it a magic mesh sweater?
