I have been complaining about this exact same thing this week to my husband. JCrew, for example, is full of delightful fashions right now, sleeveless, ruffled silk shells we would all love to wear in June, but October in Michigan?!?>!?!?!?!?!?!!? We are done to 56 F already around here. And, please someone tell me, what is with all the sleeveless or short sleeved sweaters that abound in the shops? Chillblains are not cool! No way I'm wearing any of these fashions. I can't even do 3/4 sleeves anymore, I get too cold!
If they can knit great sweaters with short sleeves they can definitely go the distance and finish those sleeves off, and then I will buy. Not until.
Sigh.....
