"Rockin' Around!" Sweater

Rockin’ around...” Be the aluminum tree that lights up the party! Inspired by everyone’s favorite mid century aluminum trees! Choose holiday colors that sparkle, or go with two other contrasting colors for a twinkly starburst minus the kitsch you can wear all season long. An homage to the atomic holiday icon of 1950’s and 60’s Americana!
