I was thrift shopping out of town this last weekend and I came across the fabulous sweater. It is a Amina Rubinacci per Jean Halm PARIS. It is a wonderful thick wool and it has warm, SOFT pockets,(I adore clothing with pockets). It instantly reminded me of the quite famous "Fernanda" sweater by Missoni, featured in the September issue of Lucky. Fortunately, I have a photographic memory,(although it has become quite selective with my advancing age), and I was able to pull up the article as soon as I got home with the sweater. I initially wanted to buy the sweater for my store but once I put it on I fell in love. The way the arms and waist fit were much more like the Missoni than the sweater resembled on the hanger. I wore it on Monday 2/20/12 with a plum belted dress from "Mark" that was featured in "30 Days of Outfits", in the September 2011 issue of Redbook. I also wore a pair of Jaclyn Smith ankle booties, purchased at Kmart, (a blue light special indeed), in Scotts Valley, California. Next time I wear the sweater I plan to pair it with a gorgeous 70's slip-dress, (purchased for me from a thrift store by my 8-yearold daughter), and bronze faux-snake-skin sandals. Fashion rules state that only one vintage item is to be worn at a time, but the slip-dress is a current 2012 Spring trend, so it doesn't count? Regardless I have never really been good at following rules in life.
