Cozy Thunderbirds



I think I might be getting another sinus infection (stupid bad sinuses) and couldn�t think past being cozy when getting dressed this morning.  So, I wore this:



And it did the trick.  This sweater is super cozy, especially when layered over one of my beloved turtlenecks (Gap).

Luckily, it didn�t rain today so I didn�t have to wrestle with tights (I would have lost) and was able to pair the sweater (via Vintage by the Pound) with pants.  Specifically, I paired it with some graphic print skinnies (thrifted via Goodwill) and added some boots (Enzo Angolini �Saylem� via Nordstrom).


I think I rather like the graphic print of the pants with the stylized thunderbird.  But, then again, I�m not feeling well so I can�t be held accountable.


Happy Wednesday, Everyone!

Lord Jeff�s Cousin, Chet



In November, I wore a vintage cardigan made by �Lord Jeff� (you can see it here).  Well, I�m pretty sure this cardigan was made by Lord Jeff�s cousin, Chet:


Excuse me, I mean LordChet.  My understanding is that Lord Jeff and Lord Chet were minor royals/playboy cousins during the 70s.  They spent a lot of time in Ibiza, of course, but also in Switzerland.  It was their time in Switzerland that encouraged them to create their own lines of apr�s ski wear.  Like this sweater:


In the spirit of the 70s, when they wore the heck out of some turtlenecks (and also because I love turtlenecks,) I layered the sweater (vintage via Vintage by the Pound) over a black turtleneck (Hinge via Nordstrom).  I also wore a pleated skirt (Goodwill), tights (Spanx via Nordstrom) and my new rain boots (Merona �Zajac� via Target).  I feel like Lord Chet would totally approve of this look.

You know who else would approve?  Starsky.  Little known fact: Starsky, of Starsky and Hutch, was dressed almost exclusively in sweaters by Lord Jeff and Lord Chet.  From what I�ve heard, their cousin Penny was the costume designer for the show so they had an in.

Happy Thursday, Everyone!
