GokiChan's Closet♥: I love Sweaters! Everthing must go!

So taking the inspiration from the original "I love Sweaters" post I put together these looks. Remember that any post with the EMG/"Everything must go!" suffix means that items are for sale.

The first look was the the cowl neck & the wide horizontal stripe sweater. Though I didn't have any thing black and white I managed to find something a little better. Deep, sultry, warm hues are a favorite this year. The sweater I found is reminiscent of MAC style black "young punk" mineralize eyeshadow. This sweater is a stand alone or pair-able gem. I chose to use it was a stand along piece accentuated with a leather obi tie belt (a GokiChan original... made by myself) , shades and matching velvet shoes. I purchased the shoes a long time ago, Highschool days, I have to admit and I never got any wear out of them. I'm sure if I had this sweater back then I would have wore them.

The sweater on the other hand was purchased in Tokyo during Christmas clearance sales... yes Japanese celebrate Christmas too (if not for religious reasons at least as a hallmark holiday). it's a Japanese x-large which means American Medium-large. It's made of an angora like knit material. It's extremely soft, lent free and not itchy like many sweaters. I have to admit I'm sad to let this pair go. It looks so awesome on the mannequin. However, I wouldn't fit it that well at this time...So, I extend my jealousy to the lucky buyer.

Moving right along, to the sweater coats. This creamy white cable knit sweater coat is a dead ringer for the pic I found in the "I love Sweaters" post. It's also been one of my favorites because it's really a heavy one. All to often you get the sweater coats that aren't heavy at all. I always felt like if you were going to go through the trouble of wearing one you shouldn't have to put a light jacket up under it to stay warm... I know, I know... rant right? Anyway it's a ladies large. I bought it when I was about 3 bra cups smaller, but since the growth spurt (as I like to call it) it no longer buttons. So, now I hope it finds a good home.

Now up under this toasty treat, I decided to pair it with a frilly sheer sleeveless top and a patchwork faux leather skirt from my hay-days. The top was a bargain find! Too bad by boobies did not agree it was as a wonderful. Not only does it not fit anymore but it's sheer so I'll save the masses from viewing unsightly rolls covered in delicate chiffon.

LOL

The skirt was purchased when I had legs as sexy as the mannequin it sits upon, and I won't tell you how long ago that was LOL. (thank you treadmill for that fond memory) I wore it clubbing in Roppongi Tokyo once or twice. I was a stunner those nights and that's all she wrote. This skirt is a medium so about a size 7.

This sweater coat was a staple for those chilly days when you needed something a little neutral to keep you warm. Since, I was going to beauty school at the time and was required to wear only derivatives of black or white... I decided to be rebellious and wear a gray sweater.

My instructors weren't amused with my play on rules

, but as a hairstylist they should've known we future colorist know what baby color two parent colors make LOL
