Once again, I was on the verge of getting rid of this sweater when a hipster coworker of mine admired it and even went so far as to inquire as to the store I had purchased it from.  The other thing that keeps me from donating it is remembering how badly I wanted it back in high school (I don't normally put items on hold at stores, but if memory serves, this is one such item).  When things come into my life easily, I feel I can just as easily let them go.  When I have to put more effort into obtaining them, I feel more obligated to hold onto them.  And so it would seem that this sweater will be held onto for awhile longer.
