There are certain items you lay eyes on and fall in love with, only to look at the price tag and realize the love affair can never happen. That scenario, this Aviu sweater. I absolutely loved this sweater from the moment I laid eyes on it at local Dallas boutique, Canary. I am not a sequin girl and don’t own anything with sequins but something about the detailing and the contrast of the black stripe had my heart skip a beat. A few months went by and I continued to think about this sweater  but knew it was out of range and I needed to move on. However, one day I received a call that they needed a quick photo for an ad they were doing in a Houston magazine and asked if I could come into the store. Low and behold my unobtainable beauty was now 75% off! I swear it was serendipitous. Out the store I went with my lover that never left my mind! Since it is such a beautiful piece I thought pairing it with a distressed boyfriend jean was only necessary. I mean why wear a beautiful piece with another beautiful piece? That would make no sense (sarcasm). No but really, I think the juxtaposition of the two makes a perfect fit. I always love taking a beautiful sweater and then pairing it with distressed denim or a beautiful skirt and pairing it with a t-shirt. It makes a bold yet “I didn’t try too hard” statement. And that is my kind of fashion!
