Today is the first day of the “sweater project”

Each day this week I will wear this sweater in a different way. Meanwhile, A. over at My French Corner, is pairing her own gray sweater in five different ways this week, so please visit her blog, as well.

I bought this extra large men’s gray cashmere sweater on credit I had earned at the local consignment shop a few months ago.  I craved a similar sweater after reading something on Garance Dore’s blog. It may have even been in the comment section, but it said that French women wear very deep cut tops if they have a small bosom, something like a big, floating cashmere sweater …. I read that sentence and my quest began.

This sweater is pulled up a bit, when it is pulled down around my hips it does have a very deep v-neck for a different look.

Today I am wearing my gray sweater with my straight leg Levis (I’ve decided they are off to ebay after today) with my black Sesto Meucci boots (10 years old, but I still love them) and a black beaded necklace I bought at Target last year. Also, I always wear some long-sleeve tee under all my sweaters. This way I don’t have to wash the sweater as frequently, just wash the tee after each wear.
