Bondage Inspired Sweater
September 1, 2011 11:38 am
I had a cozy, lounging sweater that was on it’s last life. It was too oversized and kept falling off. But I couldn’t let go of it.
In comes two sources of inspiration.
One- This sweater I saw on pinterest. I just loved it.

Second- this bondage trend I saw in Elle this month.
So here’s what I did with my sweater. I cut the back into a deep v. Then I sewed it wround the opening so it wouldn’t fray.
Then I just added three leather straps to the back.
(ps- do you know this is me? I think a lot of people think the blonde that I have modeling all the time for me is Lex. But it’s actually my sister. She is living close by in San Francisco so she can’t model at my disposal anymore. I have to do it myself a little now. yikes!)
I love the edginess of it. To do it over, I wouldn’t have cut it so low. But it stretched FAR more than I thought it would, so keep that in mind if you try it.
I love the ease of oversized sweaters. They’re so versatile because you can wear them as loungewear or style them up a bit for an “I-don’t-care” kind of look.
And don’t forget my fall line of scarves is 25% off for a bit longer.

OH MY GOSH! I love it! I’m headed to the thrift store to buy an over sized sweater once my little one wakes up. You don’t mind copycats, do you?
And BTW ~ you are a gorgeous model.

I pinned that sweater on Pinterest too, it looks so lovely.
As does your version. Seriously, I would wear it all the time. And
no, I thought the blonde was Lex. Nice to finally see you.
Obviously, I’m a newer follower since there may be other pictures
of you floating around. Great job! I need to see if I have any
oversized sweaters packed away. Maybe I’ll head to Goodwill and see
if I can find anything.

Great sweater idea. Could even raid DHs side of the closet for possible oversized sweaters to use, LOL.
