when do they grow up?

It was 2 am.. I had to run back to the lab to take out some cells for a timed experiement that I was doing.. It was kinda cold, so I put on a sweater vest (a sleeveless sweater, for the uninitiated)
In the background, I hear what appears to be a mix between a howl, and a gasp.. all in all, a fairly unpleasant noise..
"Whats THAT???" My sister.. visiting for a couple of weeks, makes no pretense at hiding her disgust.
"what?", I reply in a confused tone, all the while, knowing exactly what she's talking about.
"the sweater... You can't seriously OWN a aweater vest"
"I actually have a couple of them"

And here begins my fashion training by my 16 year old baby sister.. Its slightly pathetic.. It seems like yesterday I was wrestling with her and pulling out her hair.. Ok, I confess.. that actually did happen yesterday..
But y'all know what I'm talking about.. When did MY sister become more fashion savvy than I? I honestly see nothing wrong with wearing a sweater vest with shorts..
Apparantly, its a majoy faux pas.

So for all you sweater vest fans.. the style is out.. and apparantly, has been out for quite a while.

sigh.. I shall have to aquire some more "trendy" outfits.

Sweater vests were worn by men after they bald and have a little tummy, and after they turned 55.
Even I know that.
