Yesterday was Sweater Thursday!

Actually, last Thursday was also sweater Thursday but I found myself pretty uncomfortably busy for these past two weeks so today I will wrap up all those super sweaters into one epic post.

Let’s get started. First up we’ve got Jocelyn’s coworker Ceri. Look at all that sweater confidence!

Now let’s take a look at Chris. Here are Chris’s words

Honestly, I’m trying to wear the most out of fashion sweaters ever to try and become and legend among my students. Much like Chris Dane Owens is a legend in his own right. My mom found me this sweater. The other clothes I’m wearing don’t really match (I don’t think anything can), but it’s as close as I could come.

Wow.

Here we’ve got Ian with a nice collared shirt/sweater combo. I think this might be my favorite sweater style attack.

Here’s Sarah, also sporting the collared shirt sweater combo

We’ve got MORE! Here’s Viv!

And Chris comes sweeping in again with a new sweater. Dang Chris. These sweaters are F-I-N-E fine. I actually might think this is my favorite sweater of all sweater Thursday sweaters to date.

Also, mad props to Jobonga for successfully posting 40 sweater Thursdays at her website.

Darn it! I’m out of sweaters again. BUT! Jocelyn and Sarah T. are still going strong. Here are our faithful, furious, and totally reliable sweater persons:

Jocelyn!

Sarah T!

Let’s give it up to the sweater faithful!

Welcome back to Sweater Thursday! Last week I was late. I’ll try not to let that happen again. FOR SHAME!

I got a new sweater this week, just for sweater Thursday. I’m really excited about it. It’s got pretty gnarly ribs, and a sweet zipper turtleneck thing going on with superfluous buttons… which in addition to style are there in case the zipper breaks I guess?

I was hoping to get it in green because I already have a multitude of brown sweaters, but I think my brown sweaters are a bit worn so this will be the start of the MIKE D SWEATER REVOLUTION. Oh man. Look out. Unfortunately, my camera broke on my trip to Ukraine (you’ll read about this later), so this photo was taken with my new webcam. Not an amazingly high quality shot, but I think you can appreciate the amazingly high quality sweater.

Everybody? Meet Rob. Rob? Meet everybody.
Rob’s wearing a sweet oatmeal colored sweater while partaking in a Black Forest milkshake, a pepper bacon burger, and yukon gold fries. Oh man. That sounds good.

Sarah brings on the color with a light yellow sweater. Nice sweater Sarah!

It’s a duo of sweater! Jocelyn and Tim! Look out!! also, Tim – nice hat.

Here’s Nicole! she actually wrote “remember sweater Thursday” on her hand so she’d remember to snap a picture this morning. Oh the dedication!

And here’s Ben! Is he naturally chipper, or is it the caffeine.

Are you wearing a sweater today? If so, snap a picture and send it over to me at MikeDiDonato AT gmail D0T com.

It’s Thursday! Actually, it’s Friday – but I missed the Sweater Thursday post yesterday so I have to catch up. I also have some tragic news: I am out of sweaters. As such, I will be notably absent from sweater Thursday until I can get myself some new sweaters. Don’t dismay because it’s pretty much the right time for me to buy some new clothes and surely there will be some sweaters in the mix.

I only got two sweaters this week, but I’ll say that that’s probably because we’re just getting started in 2009 and people were probably distracted.

Here’s Jocelyn!

Holy Crap! She’s totally ready for 2009!!

Sarah T. is also ready for 2009 with this little blue number.

Three cheers for our two sweater contributors!

Let’s bring sweater Thursday back with a vengeance next week! I’ll even try to get a new sweater myself. Then, take a picture of yourself on Thursday when you wear your sweater and e-mail it to me at:
mikedidonato AT gmail D0T com

It’s Christmas Sweater time! I know that we’ve all been looking forward to this particularly special sweater occasion, but I must admit that I am out of my own sweaters. Today I’m wearing one of my dad’s sweaters. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some more sweaters soon, but for now I’m on borrowed sweaters.

So let’s start!

First we have Mike D, Mom D, and Uncle J.

Next up we have Tim with a special holiday sweater and a special thank you to his lady friend Jocelyn who made him that adorable little owl. Aww man… that’s the cutest.

Sarah T. returns this week with a stunningly purple number. So bright and colorful!!

And finally we end with our anonymous Sweater wearer. Take it away sweater person!

and that’s a wrap! Sadly, I won’t be around next Thursday for Sweater Thursday. So hold on to your pictures until the second week of January! Until then!

Right before yoga last night Vivienne turned to me abruptly and said “Mike D. Christmas and New years both fall on Sweater Thursdays! It’s like the PLANETS HAVE ALIGNED!” and it’s true. Sweater Thursday is going to be especially festive for the next few weeks.

But first, let’s look at this week’s sweaters.

Jocelyn is looking especially cute today in a green sweater. She continues her remarkable streak of sweater Thursday participation.

Jesse? well. Jesse had a tough time this morning. His exact words were “I do not wear ‘getting up before the sun’ very well.”

UPDATE: Jesse looks way better at the end of the day.

in his words “what a difference a day makes”

I figured I’d look especially good if my photo followed Jesse’s photo. So here I am in a huge blue sweater with a yellow stripe. This MIGHT be my last sweater. Next week could be interesting.

Finally, we’ve got Vivienne with a sweater that has a pouch.

Irene has joined us with her cute festive earrings. First the sweater, then a close up on the bling.

Great job MikeDiDonato.com sweater aficionados! If you have a photo you’d like to contribute, e-mail it over to mikedidonato AT gmail D0T com.

Wow, it’s Thursday again. This December is zooming by.

I forgot Chris last week so let’s start with a double dose of Tanner.

Here’s Chris from last week. and WOW. look at that sweater. This is so intense!

This week he pulled off the cardigan. Nice sweater/tie color combo Chris!

Jocelyn comes storming into the week with a little red number. Sweaters are awesome.

And here I am in a dramatic pose

Vivienne has contributed! She took two photos. One of the sweater and one of her top notch boots. whoa!

Mykal jumps in with some Nordic stylings. (Mykal! sorry this went up a bit late!)

Send me your Sweater thursday photos! MikeDiDonato AT gmail D0T com

I’m extremely proud of the MikeDiDonato reader base. I didn’t even REMIND you that today would be Thursday and you still sent me a bunch of sweater photos. Awesome! Way to go!

Today I had to dig deep into my drawers to find a new sweater. I think this might be my last one. That means I’ll have to buy a new sweater every week for the rest of the winter. We gotta do what we gotta do.

Jocelyn returns! This time with a friend! This couple photo has both participants in sweaters which is an added bonus. woo!

Mykal wore argyle for her last day at Boston Scientific! whoa new job on the horizon! congratulations Mykal!

Sarah T. is wearing a sweater for sure. Like Mykal’s, it’s argyle. I’m not sure if Gretchen is sweatering in this photo. But we’ll give her the benefit of the doubt.

Ben comes swooping in this week with a zippered sweater. With it, he is both classy and casual.

Dear Vivienne,
Your hat was cute enough. But when you added the jazz hands our hearts melted.
Love,
MikeDiDonato.com management

Woo Sweater Thursday! Remember to send your sweater photos to MikeDiDonato AT Gmail D0T com

It’s the Thanksgiving edition!!

Today the DiDonato family donned sweaters in honor of the holiday. We were sad to miss Leesh and Dwane, but this didn’t stop us from eating mass quantities of food.

Yay DiDonatos!

Next up we have first time contributor Sander. He included his with a caption: “no more Turkey for me, thanks”

HA!

Sarah T. pulled out a green number for her Thanksgiving

Lookin’ stylish Sarah!

We also have an anonymous contributor this week. This particular contributor is wearing a very warm looking white sweater with sweet patterns.

Jocelyn keeps it real. This time with a red sweater and a clean bathroom.

And finally we conclude with Chicago Caitlin who sent me a few photos of the sweater she’s crocheting. We can’t wait for the completed sweater photos.

Homemade sweaters for the win!

feel free to e-mail me pictures of your sweater on this fine holiday and I’ll post them. MikeDiDonato AT gmail D0T com

It’s sweater Thursday again! I think this is the fourth one this season and it’s still going pretty strong, though I must admit my weak sweater collection is growing thin.

Enough talk, more sweater rock. This light gray number was actually a left over from when Jesse left. It’s a very warm sweater, ideal for days of travel.

Sarah T. flys into Sweater Thursday yet again. This time she’s wearing a turtle neck sweater. Nice!

Jocelyn comes back again keeping her Sweater Thursday participation streak in tact. she looks tired.

Vivienne, What is going on with your collar. I love it.

Irene snapped a quick photo with a camera phone. In her words “Quality is not great, but viva la sweaters!”

Send me over your sweater photos and I’ll add ‘em to the mix!

Hey everybody! It’s Sweater Thursday again!

Send me your sweater photos, and I’ll post ‘em on the blog.

First, my sweater. It’s brown. Nearly 50% of my sweaters are brown. I’m okay with this though. This particular one has a pretty sweet texture to it. Over the years of ownership it has shrunk a little bit, so it’s just barely long enough on the arms. Any shorter and I’ll have to retire it to the bin of the well worn.

I’ve gone with a pink tie to add some excitement. Despite this, I still look a little shell shocked in the photo. I blame the ungodly hour of 6:00am.

Mykal joins us!! I love her bright green color. It puts my brown ensemble to shame.

And the striped color? Nice touch!

Jocelyn continues her participation streak with a homemade handknit sweater!

I like the swatch of texture on the left.

Vivienne is another first time contributor to Sweater Thursday!

not only is she wearing a stylish sweater, you can see on the left of the picture there is a fantastic view of her brand new purple coat which, though it isn’t a sweater, is totally awesome.

Irene is looking thoughtful in her gray sweater today.

Excellent Sweater pose!

Jesse goes Easter Island style!

Jesse’s sweater matches the giant head pretty well actually.

E-mail your sweater photos to mikedidonato AT gmail D0T com!!

Hey Everybody!

It’s Sweater Thursday! Today will be a bit of a strange sweater Thursday because I am on the road and will not have access to e-mail until late tonight. So! If you have a photo of yourself and your sweater today, then please feel free to e-mail it over to MikeDiDonato AT gmail D0T com. Tonight, I’ll update the website upon my return from work, and hopefully we’ll have scored a big catch of fresh fun sweaters.

Enough chit chat. Let’s sweater.

This week mine is a turtle neck sweater with deep groves of warmth.

This week Ryan and Ruth are CRAZY*

Jocelyn was in a rush today, but she still snagged a sweater photo. that’s dedication!

Irene joins us with a fun belted sweater. Stylish Irene, Stylish!

Sigh. Jesse goes pun style on us. in his words:

“it was really hard to fit my stupid head in that pant leg, let me tell you! HOT in there too. in this picture, I WAS the sweat-er.”

har har har.

And we conclude with Sarah’s sweater. Apparently this is a new sweater and also apparently it was made with the hides of hundreds of adorable rabbits.

Thanks to all the sweater thursday participants! For more sweaters (yes more!) check out Darcy’s site (1 sweater), and Jobonga’s site (3 sweaters).

Rock on sweater people!

*wow.
