Hippy Sweater Love

Can we just talk for a moment about hippy sweaters. When I was little I used to go up to my aunt & uncles cabin in New Hampshire. My uncle used to have this hideous brown & orange hippy wrap cardigan, complete with big ol' bell sleeves and a tie belted waist. You can imagine the horror and embarassment my cousin and I felt when he would actually wear this thing out. I mean come on, this was the height of 90s, grunge was in, and man hippy cardigans were not. We retired the sweater to the cabin in NH, only to be worn indoors or for brief outside walks/respites.

When these sweaters made a resurgence last year, I was not totally into them, but lately I'm kind of obsessed  (along with cowboy boots)...I found this fabulous one last week, but it was super huge so I had to put it in the shop.



So you can imagine how happy I was when the very next day, I stumbled upon this beauty for only $1!



Here's another great rendition of the hippy sweater that I love!



Or, perhaps its all about the wrapping skills

  1. Oh, I debated keeping that little cardi for myself, haha, I'm so glad I didn't though cause it's so perfect on Milla. Now I've got an eye out for the perfect one for me! Love yours :)
