I’ve been wondering what year I got the Zang Toi sweater that I wore to an event in October.
I could have asked Zang; I was just lazy about doing it. But now I’ve found a photo of the sweater and matching skirt from September 2005. Woot! It’s officially homegrown vintage!

Worn with my Gloriana necklace.
I never wore the matching belt until this year. This October was also the first time I wore the sweater without the matching skirt. Don’t worry; I still have the skirt. You know how I feel about closet purges!
What would you call this color? Oxblood? Merlot? Marsala?
Home grown vintage is the best kind! And I’d probably call that color deep crimson.
I call it oxblood, but on you I call it HOT!
