Good Idea or Bad Idea? Give me a “J”!
The varsity trend is very much alive and kicking and I still think it’s adorable.
However none of the designer varsity varieties have come in a ‘J’ for “Jazzi” until now.
So my first thought when I saw this Jil Sander sweater was “OMG! A sweater with my inital!? It’s fate!” Sure, the ‘J’ in question, is obviously for Jil, but you get the idea.
Then I saw the $1,660 price tag and bowed my head in defeat. Foiled again.
Now, I’d take an “N” in NYLON pink, Faran would settle for a “D” for Duke or an “A” because it’s classic, but I’m left wondering… if not me, January Jones or our lovely intern Joelle, who is going to buy this Jil Sander sweater?
And I’d really like to know: would you buy varsity-wear with initials other than your own first, last name, or some other letter of note?
And should $1600 at least get you the option to personalize with your initial of choice? Or, alphabet aside, is the novelty (or irony) enough?

Maybe not my own initial but another initial, maybe after someone or something that is one of my favourite things, that way you retain a sense of enigma and when people ask you what it’s after, you can give a stylish shrug!

So this one time at my former employer, we set aside a set of jewelry to be sent off to Jennifer Aniston. Among the simple, twinkly pieces was a pendant with two charms of initials (obviously J and A). For whatever reason, the jewelry never made it to Jennifer, so when my former employer closed up shop and my kindly coworker packed up all the things on my desk (I was on vacation. It actually ended quite well for me.), I – “MM” – ended up with this “JA” necklace.
I still wear it. Why not.
