Last year at the Holyoke St. Paddy's day parade all the people lining the streets were wearing these butter colored cable knit sweaters. I was like what are those and where can I get one? Turns out, it's called an aran sweater (or aran jumper if you're really serious) and it's a classic Irish fisherman's pullover. This christmas my East Coast dreams came true and Tyler got me my very own aran sweater. It's so warm and smells a little bit like a sheep. the real deal. On St. Paddy's day, it's just as good as any sparkly shamrock headband. And every other day of the year, it's me and Steve McQueen.
1. "Preppy Style is Just So Cute" Glamour UK | 2. Steve McQueen in The Thomas Crown Affair | 3. that's me in my aran!
Everyone in my super Irish family has one or two of these which is why I only recently realized how chic they are. Love it on you!
ReplyDeleteColleen, I bet you rock an aran sweater better than anyone! although, there aren't many opportunities for wool in San Diego, huh?
Deletehaha thanks girl. Not at all! Saving it for my east coast some day.
DeleteYou are so cute in your aran! I wish I could pull them off. They're so bulky on me, but I always try them on. Oh, yes I do.
ReplyDeleteTiffany, mine was kind of bulky when I first put it on! but as you wear it the wool really begins to drape and kind of forms to fit you. gotta love natural fibers, they are amazing!
DeleteWhere did he get your sweater?
ReplyDeleteHi Merritt, it's from Aran Sweater Market dot com!
DeleteWow! its good looking sweater for both men and women. Really amazing.
