A look back

It's interesting to look back at old posts and see what I wanted back then, and whether I still want those things now. There are some things that were trends that weren't really my style, but others that I still resonate with:

- From this wishlist (Dec '09), I still want: leather satchel, comfy basic tunic & trench
- Still love Clare Vivier's bags (Oct '09)
- Still want a black & white check shirt (Oct '09)
- Still eyeing the Virginia Johnson scarves (Oct '09)

Recent purchases

aran sweater: vintage / jeans: Levis / boots: Beatrice Valenzuela

The Aran wool fisherman sweater I got on Ebay was in perfect condition, and fits great - slightly slouchy and a little long, but not so oversized that I'm swimming in it. I opted for this over the shrunken fisherman sweaters at retail stores this season because of my long torso. This one is super comfy and warm, and I know it will last forever. I searched long and hard for a fisherman sweater and got lucky, especially as it's always risky to purchase without trying something on. It was also a great deal at $9.99 + $10 for shipping. The high quality of this sweater is hard to find these days - it was hand knit in Scotland. I'm also wearing my Beatrice Valenzuela botins that I received in the mail yesterday. They feel a little tight but they are supposed to stretch out about half a size so they should be the right size after some wear. I think they will be perfect for non-snowy cold Colorado days. And lastly my Levis black jeans that I bought 3 years ago for $30 which only get more comfortable over time. The overall theme of this outfit is comfy.

Biker boots

I had been eyeing these boots online and then I saw them today when I visited A-line boutique for the first time. They were on sale, but unfortunately, a half size too big.

It's been too long but I'm going to try to revive this blog! I think I may post outfit photos, mainly to help me see what they look like and to help me think through what I'm wearing.
