Awhile back when on a flea market hunt, I stumbled across this little boys sweater. I thought it was totally awesome and I could pair it with a skirt and some heels and have some instant boy meets girl appeal; my husband on the other hand told me this is one of the ugliest sweaters he has ever seen. lol. I told him he needed to have some vision and that it would look good on me, but he said "you can be a hot chick in an ugly sweater, and the sweater is still ugly." Wise words babe. I still love it though, sometimes I don't want everything I wear to be super pretty, I like to have clothes that fit my mood and today this was just right for my mood. So whether you love the sweater or hate the sweater, here it is in it's little boy's vintage glory. :)
Also, I want to give some thanks. I've received a couple of blogger awards this week and I want to give a big shout out back to the lovely ladies that gave them to me.
And A big thank you to Vivian at Diamonds and Tulle also for passing on the "Your Blog is Over the Top!" Award.
I really appreciate the great support of the blogging community. Both of these bloggers have excellent blogs of their own that you should definitely check out (see links above).
In other Bre news (since I'm on a roll here) I sold my first pillow from my etsy shop last week and I'm very excited about that. Wouldn't you know the minute I go out of town I have multiple sales that week? Isn't that just the way it always go? lol. I don't talk about my etsy shop much here on my blog (or at least I haven't in a long time) so I'm thinking I may add a "My Etsy" link on the side bar next to my blogger awards. Changes coming soon.

I think that this outfit is absolutely ADORABLE, actually -- I love wearing little-boy's clothes, they can look so cute on! And you look absolutely gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteLink up that etsy shop! I love that. It helps me when I am searching for gifts.
Very pretty pillow and I agree about having the things that fit your mood and aren't always "pretty"

You totally rock this sweater...boys can be so silly sometimes. Love your blog by the way, I just stumbled upon it. I'm a follower now!
ReplyDeleteI love that sweater! You could felt a large womens or small mens sweater to get a similar look too. My son has this incredible cashmere sweater that a friend gave him, I've always wished I could steal it but it's a bit small (like a 4 T) for that :)

OK, I love the sweater and I love that skirt! Major kudos for having the eye to see that ugly sweater's hidden potential.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Definitely nowhere near any of the ugly sweaters I've seen.
