I found this dreamy 1950's cardigan at salvation army right before a little cold spree hit San Francisco. It's been hanging on my door taunting me daily, as I throw on heavy knits and brave the chill.  Today, randomly, in classic SF fashion, it was lovely and warm so I got to take this baby out on the town. I went to four barrel and had delicious coffee with Donald. What a perfect way to start the day.

  2. Pretty sure I can stare at your face all day (too much?). Besides that, that cardigan is such a great score! I was just at SA today and it was half of bric-a-brac which meant that every single hoarder in a 15 mile radius was at the store and it was chaos -_-
