>> It's not that I'm particularly crazy about cutesy embroidered knitwear but LauraLaura has the most apt of phrases, which she has embroidered onto lambswool cardis and jumpers (all incidentally on sale right now…), that I want to break out with, amidst the stuffy air of 'blog wars' that Sister 'Right On' Wolf has duly noted on her blog. Yup, THAT old chestnutty cliche. With a shrug of shoulders and a sigh, sometimes it's ok to say "C'est La Vie" and actually mean it.
Cliche on the Shoulder
Pardon moi, but my sweater would like to ask you a question? (I heart these talking sweaters! <3)

I like a bit of embrodiery, and these are really simple nothing fussy. You should check out Pitchouguina on catwalkgenious.com for some amazing embroidered knitwear, not just with words but whole stories!

By the way all I can say about that blog wars link is Yawn, get over yourselves, if you dont’t like a blog then don’t read it! Funny how they all seem to hate the sucessful girls though.
I love these, especially the first one! They remind me a little of Markus Lupfer.
I think they’re adorable, but I don’t speak french nor do I understand one bit of it unfortunately. =/ I think I’d like it tons more if it were in spanish! Haha.
I think phrases on clothes are overdone, and should be saved for something…well, I can’t think of an appropriate adjective. It should have that “je ne sais quoi,” in fitting with the situation, that makes it special. I find very few pieces of talking clothing that I would want to wear, but I would wear both of these. Bien sur.
Even if some say phrases on clothes they are overdone, I do think those are dazzling. It all depends on which garment in which font and where the phrase is placed. Being it in French certainly makes it more adoreable.

These are so so cute! But I definitely don’t have an excuse to expand my already too big knitwear collection.
These are witty, I don’t speak a word of French, but I adore them.
Ooh! Cute! I also love the Marcus Lupfer embroidered merino wool sweaters…the Sil Vous Plait sweater above is too cute! 🙂

I’ve been meaning to DIY something like this for a while, it’s on the list!
I would only wear these if I was sitting on my couch at my house in The Country, sipping hot chocolate. I love them, but I so hate cutesy french cliches that even the adorableness of these sweaters would not have me wearing one to school or the like.
I would wear those sweaters! I want one that says “severe mais juste,” a phrase I am borrowing from Flaubert.
(And to ‘Pearl Westwood,’ after visiting your blog, a big Yawn right back at you, my dear!
Nice looks but the colors are not much attractive. i like dark colors in warm wearing.
wow that first sweater looks like a lot like a ramie cotton sweater I saw on shop.com:

A little embroidery and we will have another talking sweater!
These are actually really cute. I do like the c’est la vie one.
It reminds me of the lovely sweater at krisatomic 🙂
