When the APC madras spring/summer 2009 collection came out, I was undecided about most of it, except for this jumper, and its matching skirt and cape. I really liked the simple and nautical feel of it, and thought up tons of ways to wear it without looking like a 4 year old. Then Alexa Chung wore it on her MTV show this summer, and it was blogged about everywhere. Unfortunately, I've only worn it once because I think my chest is just too big for jumpers like this, but it sure looks cute on other people :)
About me: I am currently studying abroad in Copenhagen and will be going home in about 10 days. When I return, I will be signing my first apartment lease, which means my annual/never-ending closet purging will be more crucial than ever. Despite the fact that I have made a vow to not buy new clothes for a year, my closet is still the size of a small country, rather than the carefully curated selection of loved pieces that it should be. As the UN climate conference has already started, I can't help but feel guilty for my excess of consumerism over the past years. But what to do with all of the clothes I've amassed? Well, finding them new homes with people who will wear them well is about as good a sustainable model I can think of :)
special note: I am not returning to the states until Sunday, December 20th. That means the earliest I can ship anything is the next day, December 21st (but I will be quick about it!).
