Fashion Forward: The Dude Abides

Photobucket

It occurred to me on my 5,000th viewing of "The Big Lebowski" that the Dude's Cowichan sweater is fantastic and that I should have one. Unfortunately, if you look for the real deal (vintage Pendleton), you're likely to shell out some big bucks on eBay.

Don't give up just yet. As the Dude would say, new shit has come to light. The Etsy finds below are not just great for your wallet, they also have a feminine shape. Much like the rug really tied the room together, these cardigans really tie you together.

  2. "New shit has come to light." LOVE IT! I haven't seen this movie in forever. You've just inspired me to dig this movie out and make some white russians. I found the link to your blog in the Modish comments btw. Fun site you have here!
