A Blast from the Past

Hey guys! Wow, I really have been failing at posting lately, but life is back to normal so it should be more consistant. I recently got a package from Spain and I haven't worn everything yet. This adorable sweater is the featured piece today. I paired it with brown leggings for comfort and because the brown is more unique than the normal black. The belt was necessary to cinch the baggy sweater and the shoes added a bit of metallic to the jewelry-less outfit. I love side-braids; they're my new go-to hairdo when a ponytail just seems too boring.
From the minute I saw this sweater I thought: SEVENTIES! I love how its the perfect kind of baggy, especially with the puffy 3/4 length sleeves. Also, since its long, you can wear it with just leggings to juxtaposition the slim leg and bigger top. The pattern is great. All the colors are subdued and they blend into each other. I can't name the year exactly, but the knit is definitely late 60s/early 70s.

I didn't mean to be smiling creepily, this picture was meant to show the side-braid with wispy hairs framing the face.
