$10 Large Sweater

I bought a sweater that I can’t return.  It sheds 8(  .  For those who keep a lint brush with you and just looking for something to wear to and from a destination, maybe it will work for you.  I need one to wear throughout the day and may have to take it on and off.

Here is an image of the model wearing the black sweater - size large.

If you are interested, you will have to pick it up at the next deaf social I attend.
