There is a painfully adorable epidemic sweeping Scandinavia! I am talking, of course, about the little navy blue cropped sailor jacket that's been showing up on every Swede/Finn/Norwegian (I'm sure though I don't have proof) in bloggerland. Looks like H&M has a hit!

I actually tried it on yesterday. It was funny, I only saw two of them in the whole store (Herald Square, on a Saturday afternoon, agh what was I thinking?), slung over separate racks, one in size 12 and one in size 2 which, I'm pretty sure, was probably the last available size 2 in New York, if not the entire western world. I tried the 2, and it's true, I could imagine a beautiful future with that little fella. But worth the pricetag? I have my doubts. Maybe (definitely) I'm just a cheap skate but, hey, at least I'll have plenty of opportunity to live vicariously through these lovely ladies!
