I Wear Your Grandma’s Clothes; I Look Incredible

So what did we learn yesterday? We learned that I am really ready for spring. What are we going to learn today? We are going to learn how I entertain myself (clothes-wise, that is) while waiting for spring.

A girl with an overstuffed closet like mine always has some things she doesn’t get around to wearing for a while. So for my entertainment, I’ve been seeking out the winter-only items in my wardrobe that still haven’t stretched their legs (or their sleeves I guess) this season. This sweater is one of those items.

I remember thinking it was the greatest thing ever when I bought it, but I guess my tastes have changed a bit and I just don’t get as excited to wear it as I used to. I wish it were a little longer and looser so I could do that oversized-on-purpose look. Instead it’s very fitted and conservative and grandma-ish. But looking at these photos, I still kind of think it’s cute. Plus who doesn’t like grandmas?

So what do you think: Keep this sweater around for next year, or should this be its last hurrah?

I just grabbed this skirt and these shades from Madewell a couple days ago (and when I say “grabbed,” I don’t mean I stole them – I literally did grab at these sunglasses as soon as I walked in the door and saw them because they’re so freaking awesome). I’m pretty excited about the skirt because I’ve been wanting a black and white striped skirt for awhile, but it’s hard to find one that doesn’t make my lower half look like a bloated upside-down pear. I like this one because it doesn’t taper into the knee, and I think the way the side panels break up the lines creates an optical illusion that’s a little more slimming.

In fact, I love this skirt so much that I’m making it my Take One, Pass it On item, so you’ll see it again tomorrow! (In case you forgot already, this cardigan is my repeat from yesterday.)
