// Twist in my sobriety
Posted on | February 27, 2010 | 10 Comments

Dammit! I fell to the temptation of designer collaboration and now I’m the owner of this citrus colored cardigan. So I broke my high street clothes shopping restriction. Was it worth it? Well, I think that I quite like the acidic colors of this little one, the quintessential Rykiel details (seams on the right side, using the purl side of the knit as RS, sturdier stockinette stitch on sleeves) and even the bows surprised me pleasantly. They are not sewn but you can tie them yourself — or leave untied which might be often my choice when wearing this. Even the cotton feels surprisingly nice to my hand. The only downside is that these colors work for my coloring only at summertime when I have some actual tone on my skin.
Sonia has also special place on my mind… …I made my first designer boutique purchase from her flagship store on Paris. I was after the Domino bag with silver studs, and it was not on display on the shop. The friendly staff served me extremely well and dug out one piece from stockroom. That pleasant experience slightly eased my reserved attitude towards fancy designer boutiques and after that I have stopped in in few just to feel the atmosphere and see the clothes. I’m still very hesitant with the ones with guards on door, though…
What next… …I think that I should continue with my plan. 30 euros for not-that-necessary thing is not the end of the world.
