Sweater love

DSCF6113

I finished all my undergrad grading last night, but I still have more than 1/2 of my M.A. class's research papers (worth 50% of their) grade trickling.  So I'll be in grad seminar grading purgatory for a bit longer, but Blokey and I are gonna pretend like we're done with the semester tonight, make popcorn and watch one of his very erudite European/Taiwanese/Iranian films.  (Last week it was I am Curious (Yellow) and I am Curious (Blue)).  I like this sweater, but it feels awkward to style.  I don't know why.  Maybe the short sleeves and the length?  But Blokey really likes it and compliments me whenever I wear it, so why not?
This is an almost 100% second hand/thrifted outfit.  The sweater and dress are from Salvo, and the boots from Beacon's Closet.  The belt is a swap.  How rad is that?
Oh, and Buster wants to show you his tail.
Since starting No Repeats, I think I've gone "Cynthia style", because I realize how much of my casual clothes I ignore during the semester.  So far, this has been a good reminder that I have a lot of clothes.
 
Happy Wednesday, Style Nation.
