This second hand beauty of a sweater from Vestiaire Collective first landed in Lisa’s wardrobe. But since the knit had unfortunately been washed and shrunken quite a bit before she got it, it didn’t fit her. So, this is one of the few times in life when I’m actually happy about being hobbit-sized. I got to try the sweater and sure, it’s a bit short in the sleeves, but other than that it fits perfectly. How lucky am I?

Shirt, Saint Laurent. Jeans, Beyond Retro. 

This is a look that I always (like most fashion victims) find myself returning too. “The denim-on-denim look”, “the Canadian tuxedo”, “the cowboy look”—did I leave out any designation? Both the jeans and the shirt (an old Saint Laurent one) are like good wine as they only get better with time. Garments like these are great if you want to build a sustainable and long-lasting wardrobe.

I’m hoping that this is the last winter outfit I’ll be posting for quite some time. Both jacket and sweater are second hand finds from Vestiaire Collective, and the shoes are made to order and come from the sustainable brand Amend Atelier. Wearing them feels like walking in a pair of sneakers!
