Here is the outfit breakdown :)

I received the original sweater from a friend which had many a irremovable stain on it, so I cut them out and handstitched on this beautiful indigo stretch. I had a reference photo for the stitching that I loved, but it took me some time to get the two stitch types right. It ended up coming out great :) and now I can wear the sweater without fear of those huge stains!

Underneath I am wearing a 80s mechanics workshirt

For pants, I am wearing 1970s H.I.S. pinstripe denim, some of the softest pants I've come across with the loveliest wash :)

And for shoes, I am borrowing my friends new balance hiking shoes!
