GLOVE STORY

GLOVE STORY

A two-in-one lifesaver for those almost cold days.

If you're like us, your glove collection looks like your sock drawer. There’s one pair that’s your favorite, the pair you throw on when it snows, and then you have those stray gloves without partners.  Sad face!

Having short, long, and fingerless options makes accessorizing easier, especially in the tricky “is it winter yet?” months.  But all those gloves make things complicated, messy, and annoying.  Plus, you make up stories in your head about how one glove fell in love with the other one, then you left it on the subway, then you’re like, crying at 3 am because of a glove story.  Gloves in love!  It’s bad.  ☺

If you want a remedy for all that drama, the cable arm warmer set at PacSun lets you add and take away layers as you need them. Wear the pieces separately, and you have basic short gloves, or a set of crocheted arm warmers. Pair them together, and you're covered from your fingertips to your elbows. 

Plus, if you’re donning the full coverage option, and you need to send a text, the gloves slip off quickly so you won’t miss an important conversation.  Better yet, the set sells for $19.50, which means you can afford to replace a lost glove if necessary.

Nice idea but I'm not very fond of the pattern and colors...I'd rather learn how to knit my own. And in my opinion $20 is still a little steep for just a pair of gloves.

I'm sick of these cheap ass girls who come on this site and say stuff is too expensive. $20 for gloves is good especially since you're getting like four gloves. If you can't buy clothes go to the KMart magazine.

now that wasn't really necessary. maybe someone would rather spend $20 towards a shirt or hell, food. just because she doesn't want to spend $20 on gloves (and i wouldn't either based on what those look like) doesn't mean she needs to go shop at kmart.

Twenty bucks is ridiculous. I bought a cute pair of gloves similar to these at Urban Outfitters (which for your information Madison, is not Kmart) for only ten bucks. That is much more reasonable.

I got a pair of Dior gloves that are cut like this 2 months ago. They are beautiful tan cashmere with bows on the wrist and gold heart charms dangling from the bow. I agree with Elli on the simple fact that these Pac Sun's look like you could just make them, and the price feels like you should just wait til Claire's does an even cheaper knock off-OR take a long sleeve shirt/cable knit sweater, cut a hole for your thumb, cut it at the desired length, hem, and bedazzle the hell out of them if you like-but you've saved $20, and you've been creative. Lemme just say, these are good if you can't afford Dior, or if your grandma can't crochet, but besides Pac Sun doing it after Dior, and Urban outfitters always doing it after everyone, GOTHS have been doing this for forever! (ps. I lost a glove in the subway last night! thank god they weren't the Dior's!)

Does anyone else think Sara's entire comment was just to say she owns Dior?

Reading all those posts was so funny... I like the purple gloves. Even if they're not Dior..

I love gloves like this! Also, I have gotten a pair like them at K-Mart and they've been stellar because I can cut the fingers off of them to play guitar and piano in the cold without my entire hand freezing AND I don't have to be concerned with cutting a pair of $400 gloves.
