@22 WeeksΞ In jeans yet again (blame it on a cold, rainy day). I’m again trying to keep the focus on my top half with a cropped cardigan, left open to let the belly peak through.  This is one of my favourite pieces–a vintage beaded cardigan found in an antique store in Corpus Christi, TX over 10 years ago (for a pretty steep $40). Shockingly, this is the first time I’ve EVER worn the sweater!

This sweater is so pretty and has amazing beading details. All the beads are actually pearly white, but the string gives the design some colour. I know its a shame I’ve waited so long to bust it out, but I never had the right top to go under it. I really liked the soft grey t-shirt with this (and the jeans and Chucks combo keep it from being prissy). Sadly, this might be the only time I wear it…

I have a terrible wool allergy and this cardi actually caused scratches on my poor suffering arms. I don’t think I could part with it though, not after all these years. I have dreams of a pretty little sewing room some day with this hanging up in the corner or draped over a dress stand.
