Rudy Huxtable okay?!?


Sometimes you see something in a thrift store 10,000 times in size 3XL. Then you find it in your own size and you’re deeply drawn to buy it. “I’ve never seen a cerulean cable knit shorts-jumper in size small” – WOW. When I spied this elbow deep in a rounder deep in the San Fernando Valley I felt strangely victorious. My thrift buddy thought this looked flammable but I loved the zippers and decided it made me look kind of cool. I think pairing it with high waisted white jeans was a bit risky– especially because they are Guess knock offs and they spelled 'Pioneer' phonetically as "Pionier." Improper English immortalized on the bum of mom jeans is a fashion "do" in my book - but I'm that kind of risk taker.


If you wanted to keep it more mellow, I’d pair a crazy Cosby sweater like this with a black silk mini dress or any piece you think looks current and has a clean line to it. Next time, I’ll likely look for a cropped knit sweater so I can be sexier a la Denise Huxtable - everyone from All Saints to Vena Cava is doing the cropped sweater/shirt thing now too.
