Although it troubles me that people wear jeans to Fashion Week these days, I am in love with this outfit of Elin Kling’s — a classic, gossamer, ivory shell paired with funky jeans and black stilettos. Simple perfection, and a great way to get to wear a sweater in spring or fall. When I saw it, the first sweater pattern that sprang to mind was Evening Calm, from the current issue of Amirisu, because I am more than a little obsessed with it. It’s a bit more textured than Elin’s sweater, with the central cables, but would look phenomenal worn this way. Instead of pure wool, though, I might suggest knitting it in a wool-cotton blend, such as the amazing Bomuld og Uld from Geilsk, in natural.

I’m not a fan of ‘short’ over washed/worn jeans look either. I have “nice” jeans that I only wear for occasions when I want to mix casual with a nicer event. Jewelry helps too. I have silver super heels…I will try not to kill myself when I try to wear them with my nice jeans. And yes, a pretty knit shell would be nice!
I love the muted tones and the stitch pattern in “Evening Calm”. I’d prefer it with sleeves though. Thanks for sharing!
Those are vintage Mom jeans! Cute styling.
The curved side seam makes ’em modern. ;)
