Gone Fishing

I am on the hunt for the perfect chunky cabled fisherman's sweater.

Qualifications:

-Long

-Thick with voluptuous cables

-Ivory colored. Or off-white.

Glorious wooden buttons are a plus.

Why do I (and all of you!) need a fisherman's sweater?

Well, first off... it is cold! Being in SoCal, I tend to neglect the outwear section of my wardrobe. Then when it finally gets cold, I am lamenting my lack of warm things.

Second, it's nautical! I am big on nautical right now.. more to come on my current obsession in another post at a later time.

Third, I think it transitions into spring pretty well. Imagine a chunky fisherman's sweater paired with an airy light-colored dress. OOOoooooOoOOooo.. spring.. Can't wait!

If you've got $38.00 plus shipping to spend, go buy this one from DearGoldenVintage

Or maybe this one from SimpleThrift on Etsy.

As for me, I'm totally broke till mid-January. I guess I'll have to keep an eye out in the thrift stores until then.

Anchors Away!

I added some nautical flair to a thrifted blue pencil skirt:

Freezer paper stenciling is an easy and precise way to add images to fabric. You can't get as intricate as with screen printing, but it is waaaayyyy cheaper to do.
