I got a warm, fuzzy zip-up as a gift from a friend a few months ago. The only problem, is that it has a pair of pom-poms attached to the zipper, suspended by two pieces of string.
Don't get me wrong, it's really warm, and I'll wear it a lot once we get some snowfall. However, I'm kind of a fidgety person; if I'm reading an online article, or watching a video, I always need to play with something, like a hair-clip, or an earring. One day, I was wearing this sweater around my apartment, and I just casually started playing with the pom-poms.
But once I actually took note of what I was doing, I felt like I was... well, "handling"... something. Two large pom-poms suspended by strings, yeah, I'm sure you can fill in the blanks. Needless to say, I have psychologically turned myself off from the idea of wearing this sweater out in public.
