Barcoded

Do you put away your summer clothes in winter? I don't. This way I have more items to play with and mix and match. I use light summery clothes to layer and to add print to my outfit (most of my summer clothes are printed). Here, I winterized my cotton jumpsuit by adding a bulky sweater and tights. 

These geeky tights were love at first sight!  I ripped four of my tights this winter and I was looking to replace them with some graphic tights. These have become a conversation starter as I've had many people ask me if I've scanned the barcode (and some even whipped their phone out to try and scan it!). Love 'em!

The bulky vintage nordic sweater replaced two 4-year old GAP sweaters. The GAP sweaters just got so visibly bobbly! Not cool. 

What I'm Wearing:

Sweater: 100% acrylic; Vintage from ShopIndie

Jumpsuit: 100% cotton; Bought in India

White tights: Handprinted silkscreened tights made in NY from NylonJournal

Over the knee socks (worn short): 80% bamboo from SockDreams

Sandals: Vegan and ethical from Cri de Coeur

Clo.Outfit: A Bright Start to the New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!!!!

I'm totally loving this outfit and I'll tell you why: For one, I'm wearing a shirt backwards; two, I'm wearing two hats. I was totally craving a stand up collar shirt and I couldn't find any in my wardrobe, I figured I could just wear a shirt backwards. I wore this beanie but the outfit did not seem to fall in place so I borrowed my mom's hat and wore it on top of it, so the colorful beanie just shows as a trim. Perfect amount of multi-color :)
