Skull Sweater

February 7th, 2013

Ray-Ban Aviators, 360 Sweater, Dannijo & Vintage Bracelets, Elizabeth and James Skirt, Dries Van Noten Heels, Zara Clutch, Essie “Cute as a Button” Nail Polish

I have a lot of playful items in my closet – sparkly shoes and cheeky prints. But I’m typically pretty traditional, even verging on conservative, when it comes to sweaters. I see this one as a gateway piece – from the front it’s classic: a heather gray, cashmere boatneck. But from the back, the neon skull gives it an edge that really sets it apart.

    Cool to see something new – skull on the back (instead of front) of a sweater.

    I’m exactly the same about my sweaters, but I definitely think I’d go for that one – the edgy pop of neon is perfect. xoxo Sarah
