I T S W E A T E R

Gee it's not enough that Rumi Neely is extremely stylish, but she has to own both etoile Isabel Marant knit sweaters. It's people like her that make me so desperate and needy for money to revamp my wardrobe. Then I sound like a greedy monster before my boyfriend, my mother (or some television ad) remind me that I'm actually quite fortunate to have such luxuries and could use the 'wasted' money to save up for something. See that's the thing - fashion is an industry created out of 'wants' and desires, to look good in front of others and to be better or own more than everyone else. It's kind of terrible when you think about it, women spending a tonne of money on designer handbags or shoes when there are people in third world countries dying of starvation. And yet we still love it all the same and it's a market that has been thriving and constantly growing for decades.

So after that little guilt trip thinking about your last big splurge and all the other things you could have done with that money, here's some more pictures of that 'it' sweater we're all lusting over.

Things I really want but will never have:
1. Isabel Marant cableknit sweater

Sadly, I don't even think these exist in stores anymore.

I've been told to hurry up and post this because I'm spending all my precious study time trawling through pages and pages of blogs to find images for my very first inspiration blog. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and I know that my obsession for cable knits (and knits in general) can only be expressed through this collection of images. I am loving the cable knit + shirt with collar combo and the plaiting detail, which is a new take on the standard chunky sweater. I have been told off my boyfriend and my best friend to stop looking for more knits to buy (my latest purchase was a T by Alexander Wang pullover) but I honestly can't get enough of them - in sweater or cardi form, loose or tight fitting. What can I say? It gets cold commuting to and from uni every day, and I need to rug up!
