Something Old & Something New

12/2/2012

So, I just wanted to share something old and something new that I recently received. It was sufficiently cold to warrant wearing my new, vintage Eddie Bauer sweater. It's so rad. I've always wanted a
sweater like this. Thanks to Tess Ronae Vintage, it's mine, all mine. Wohoo! <3

It's my first ever Etsy purchase and I'm excited to get more vintage items from Etsy! :D

The sweater is super scratchy (as it is wool) and super warm and I love it. It's pretty bulky, so I'll have to get creative as far as different ways to wear it. It took some effort to stuff it into my mustard cardigan. Haha. It was worth the effort, though. I think they paired nicely and they kept me quite toasty.

I'm also wearing my new almond flats (thrifted for a great price)! :P~

Thrifted - ModCloth Brown Satchel (Sale), Grey Touque (Seoul) & Brown Flats
Hot Topic - Judy Blue High Waisted Jeans in Dark Blue
Ruche - Military Inspired Epaulette Mustard Cardigan
Etsy - Vintage Eddie Bauer Sweater circa 1987
Tobi - Red Skinny Belt w/ Gold Buckle

Gosh doesn't it make you sad that there's no 焼き肉here in the US? they need to fix this. haha oh wait, but you're vegitarian...not even a little bit? just a little? >__<

wow a hand knit wool sweater?! I can imagine it's super toasty :) I really don't like itchy sweaters though...maybe I can layer...but still :(

Haha.. I guess I'm not entirely vegetarian. I still eat fish and dairy. I just don't eat red or white meat. I'm a recent convert. It's been a year and half now, and I don't miss it. My parents are Jamaican and they treat vegetarianism as borderline blasphemous. Haha. So, needless to say, family gatherings are...awkward. My mom makes the best jerk chicken on the planet, too... *sigh*

Yeah, man. I love this sweater. I've always wanted a tacky-looking, 80's sweater and I finally got one. I'm a happy camper. Hehe. <3

Thanks for visiting! I love when you do! :P

I know! It was only $9.00, too! I still can't wrap my mind around that. I would have paid more. The sweater I bought from you last month is so amazing, too, though! I'm waiting for the right occasion/inspiration to come along so I can show it off!
