There's something about a giraffe sweater that people simply cannot resist. I think I got more compliments on this kooky sweater than I ever have on anything else. I actually had a guy whistle at me. I was wearing a giraffe sweater and I got whistled at - which never happens in my normal life. The most I usually get is, "Hey you, move out of the way so I can see your hot friend!" True story. I like to think it's because I put out a cat-call-and-I'll-cut-you vibe. I also do not wear nearly enough giraffe sweaters.
Man-magnetism aside, my friend Vanessa's comment was the best of the day: "I think it's adorable. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing it, but it's adorable."
Clearly, she is just upset that it is vintage and therefore not readily available for her own closet. Her birthday is coming up...maybe I can track one down for her. A kitty themed one, perhaps?
p.s. If you know where my title is from, you are a winner (of nothing tangible, but you're still a winner).

Oh my god, this is one of the cutest posts ever, ahahaha. Cute outfit!!!
I freaking love this sweater. I am always on the hunt for the perfect silly vintage animal sweater-I found one last year and it got away! Super jealous chick right here (points at self)
girrrrrrl. you know i live for this kind of thing, and i think this is my favorite outfit of yours, ever. i'd be cat calling you myself!
I don't want to disturb you. But this outfit is a bit on the Lolita side... I made this mistake once - and will never again (no, there where no knee-heighs involved ;-))
Mathilda: Don't worry, I am totally kidding about wearing animal sweaters to attract men. If I was being serious, I would have said "Wear animal sweaters if you want to attract really creepy dudes in vans with blacked out windows."
love love love. not many ladies have the lady balls to sport a wild sweater like so. you pull it off nicely:)
Audrey: I actually thought of you and your kitty skirt when I wore this!
Cute sweater. Love the animal print blouse.

Yep, you definitely need to be a girl with attitude to wear an animal sweater. I love it! :)
I am a firm proponent of the giraffe sweater. I have one myself--although I can't say it brings the boys to the yard the same way yours does. :D
great outfit! i love your sweater so much! :)
YOU LOOK MAAAARVELOUS!!!

Adorable, love the back.
Cute sweater. Love how you paired the giraffe print shirt underneath.
i love it! and the title makes me think of those little pocky sticks with facts on them. i bet that isn't it though.
PLEASE tell me the title is from off of a Yan Yan stick? Haha! That's the first thing I thought of when I saw it because I die whenever I get one of those.
that is so cute!

The jumper is awesome, I love it! It really is adorable :)
the sweater is pedoriffically great. i'd try to talk to a girl wearing that under the assumption that she doesn't give a fuck about being sexy but wants to nerd out and get her golden book on.
i really like the hair look too.
The whole outfit looks pretty and comfy. And I love that you paired the sweater with a giraffe-y print blouse.
I love that sweater! Seriously, if I was wearing it I'd have a smile on my face all day.

Super cute! I love it. :)
I'm a little stunned that DVF made that sweater! It's...not at all like the other DVF things I've seen, hahaha. I love the whole outfit, and absolutely adore your glasses. I have a giraffe print dress.
Yeah, this is pretty awesome! I would totally wear that giraffe sweater. And that shirt definitely needed to be worn under it. I love your glasses frames with the outfit too!
That sweater couldn't possibly be any more adorable!

HOW ADORABLE! I love the sweater! Giraffes are one of my favorite animals. The thing with guys always happens to me too! But, then again...I give off the same 'holler-and-I'll-cut-you" vibe ahahha. (:

this is such a great look! just wondering, did you balance off a sweater and shorts with boots or oxfords? i would like to try to recreate but i always feel top heavy if i dont choose some weight for my feet.
Cute outfit! Love the giraffe.

ooh good tips lol
so giraffes are the key...
or maybe it's just that swater. it's so cute!
Hmmmm. I think I am going to try and make a super-budget appliqued version of this. All I need to do is some hard-core embroidery (maybe a monkey? Or a little penguin?) and applique it onto a vintage sweater. Oh, and the back of the monkey/penguin too.
Ugh, I sense this is one of those bright ideas that ends up swallowing up my entire life!
Elizabeth: I wore boots, partially because it was raining. But if I wore it again, I would steal your oxford idea - I think it works better:)
Teddi: It's from one of my favorite snack treats, Yan Yans. They have weird saying on them and little cartoon animals. Some say "cat - say meow" or "Mouse - don't be timid" and there is one that says, "Giraffe - tallest mammal". I just always get a kick out of them!
that sweater is AMAZING. no wonder you got whistled at! hehe :) but seriously, i need myself a sweater like that!

Thanks for the man-snagging tip! And I think it looks adorable too but I would definitely be caught wearing it!
I have seen this exact sweater at a thrift store. I didn't buy it, but was close. I had it in my hand and then put it down. I definitely think you have the chops to wear it :)
Sweet picks! i like the print blouse mixing with the animal jersey, also love the glass.
Kisses from Spain!

That is pretty hilarious.
I once got voted best dressed on the day I was wearing leggings, a men's Bob Marley t-shirt, and boots. It seems like a lot of the times when you don't care or think your outfit is kind of weird everyone loves it. But, in my case, I think all the voters were drunk...
In other news... I really like this sweater and I WOULD actually wear it. Not as adorably as you though!
Happy Sunday!
