wrap sweater weather



I've got a hella 70's wrap sweater I bought at Wasteland last spring (ONE HUNDRED PERCENT ACRYLIC!) that I can't seem to work up the nerve to wear out of the house.

Doesn't prevent me from admiring the terrif selection of wrap sweaters from Salvage Life Vintage.

In related news, I saw more than one Vancouver girl rocking the hell out of a Lebowski sweater.

    For the record, the "Lebowski sweaters" you are seeing are Cowichan sweaters, traditionally made by the Cowichan First Nations people and now thoroughly co-opted by hipsters (and the 2010 olympics and roots).

    If you choose to rock a Cowichan, consider buying one knit by a Cowichan person and not manufactured in China.

    When I first read this, I thought you meant wrap sweaters like BALLET wrap sweaters (of which I have about 25). But I also like these and own a Lebowski sweater, so I'm pro sweater all around.

    I like that sweater in The Killing. And I don't even like The Killing.

    WEAR IT.

    If you wear it I will wear my mom's boots again this year

    omg, I am having serious 70s flashbacks looking at these sweaters. I may be too old for this site. Well, I know I am but I'm doing advance work for my daughter....
