Did you go to Inhabit? I went and got two sweaters and a cardigan but thought there was less variety--and less stock--than in previous years. I'm interested to read your thoughts.

You know, I went to Inhabit, and I was so completely underwhelmed, I forgot to write about it! I ended up getting a few sweaters as presents, but nothing for myself. The prices were pretty good, but selection-wise, this was not their best sale.
