knit tales

Belated Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all of you! I've been busy but life is great, which to me is a perfectly valid excuse for not posting more 

thin cotton turtleneck (American Apparel) // vintage wool nubby sweater // Balenciaga leather pants (yoox.com) // suede boots from Daffy's // Alexander McQueen skull ring // vintage Gucci watch // Maison Martin Margiela gold ring set (yoox.com) // flea market bracelet

You haven't missed much; mostly I've been wearing some version of my usual Les Chiffoniers pants + button-down shirt + coat uniform. But I finally have something new to show you guys - this awesome hand-knit wool sweater tunic. Apparently it was from the 60s. I love pieces like this - kind of a no-brainer, just throw it on and go. I plan on wearing it with over-the-knee boots as well. I like to think it is Isabel Marant-ish, but that might just be my way of consoling myself because I can't actually afford any of her stuff!

i love this look. i just discovered leather leggings + have been living in a version of this outfit on every cold day (which, sadly, isn't a lot on the east coast, is it?). this look greats + that tunic is fab.

Happy new year! I think you're doing just fine without Isabel Marant :)

Is the fur attached to the sweater? That is awesome!

happy new year! That sweater is phenomenal. I recently got one with the same nubby quality to it, but it doesn't have as interesting a cut.
