I've been feeling real ARTsy this winter, and the way I handle feeling "artsy" is designing and creating things that SHOW feeling and emotion. I love Chicago but its something about the Chicago winter that gets you down and forces you to pick yourself back up. Maybe its because its cold outside and you're forced to sit in the house with your mind jumping from wall2wall. Whatever it is we all handle it in our own way. This is my way.
(I didn't like my facial expression so.. BLUR!)
This was an old maroon sweater I bought in a vegas thrift store while shopping with my friend (the very cute and stylish) Karolina.
For some reason I fell in love with it. I would wear it in the months to come but it never really found a meaning in my wardrobe until I found some scissors. Like I said the winter had got me down and I wasn't feeling myself: I was more... empty. So I made my sweater empty; I cut these palm sized holes throughout the chest, stomach, and shoulder area. So now it looks like a "Fish-Knit sweater" (I know what a clever play on words).
It didn't take long. Very quick and easy and I get to play around with the knit cut outs I still have. Yay! Right?
Do you like it?
Not for everyones taste I know.
