so many bees.




in the past few days, I've taken on the somewhat arduous task of cleaning out my closet. like, really paring down. in addition to finding that I owned twenty seven black turtlenecks (all vintage, all thrifted, all totally redundant), I rediscovered this delicate little 40s sweater from i. magnin. this sweater is quite special because it belonged to my great grandmother.

for some funny reason, I never noticed that the woven pattern looked like butterflies...and taking some liberty, somewhat like bees.

it was in the stars.

i wonder what the "I" stands for in "i. magnin"! mabye Ingrid. is this a short sleeve or long sleeve sweater? i just bought a cute hole-y, delicate short sleeve sweater and im sort of confused about how i could wear it, do you have any suggestions?

coo. what a beauty.

now, i'm intrigued (and alright, a bit jealous)but why are all 27 turtlenecks redundant?

That's beautiful, and I am so jealous you have a piece of your great grandmother's clothing!

I really need to clean out my closet, too. Ugh.
