THE POM POM SWEATER
Jennifer Mejia
I might have been a cheerleader for a year in high school. I have so many fond memories of that time with my teammates, smiling through freezing cold football games, and getting our hair up into our banana clips perfectly. Did any of you wear banana clips? Yes, that was a looooonnnngggg time ago. I also have a scar that remains on my calf from falling off the top of a pyramid and having Pam Barron break my fall...with her fingernail. I still love you for saving my life, Pam!
Ironically enough, we didn’t use pom poms a lot, but that term just takes me back to those days. This year, I’ve seen so many pom pom sweaters, and I’m in love with the one I’m wearing because it’s so versatile. I wear it with denim (distressed, gray, black), coated jeans, and leather leggings. While this particular sweater from Madewell is sold out in most smaller sizes, I’ve provided options for a few others if you love this look as much as I do. Simply click on the images below to SHOP THE LOOK. In addition, if you like the cut of this sweater (the sleeves are fabulous), Madewell sells it in other colors without the pom poms here.
