I found this vintage 1950s sweater this past weekend at a small town flea market.  It looks like someone painstakingly sewed all the trim around the neckline. I was surprised; it actually fits me perfectly!  I NEVER find anything small enough to fit me perfectly!  So I took it home, washed it really well, and wore it today.  I also didn't have a skirt that would go color-wise or pants (it's short and meant for vintage high-waisted pant styles.... which I currently don't have), so I whipped up a charcoal pencil skirt to go with it from a 1960s pattern I love.

Then my friend Maureen and I took my sister's and my bike to Walmart.  We ended up going by car 'cuz one of the bikes had some issues...... but it was an adventure!

P.S.  Excuse the crazy hair in all the pictures.  It's quite windy and cold today.
