Love or Hate: Couture Coffee Sleeves

I was in line to get coffee at Wegman's the other day and noticed a zebra print coffee sleeve sitting in a basket towards the back corner. My first thought was, "oh that's kinda cool," but then I saw the price, $7.99, and thought, "do I really need another pointless accessory?"

The jury is still out if I really like these Cup Couture sleeves, but they are obviously picking up momentum in the fashion world. I saw them featured in this month's Redbook magazine. However, if the fact that they were in a basket in the corner of the coffee counter, then maybe they aren't hitting it big in Princeton.

Your thoughts?
