Dolls in a Row


Sweater: Urban Outfitters
Skirt: thrifted, no tag
Tights: Tintoretta
Shoes: Naturalizer

For the longest time I hadn’t found a good outfit to pair these tights with, so I was excited this morning when I laid them next to the sweater and skirt on my bed and thought they looked just right together. I got some weird stares at Target, but I love the print on them with the babushka dolls sweater. The sweater had been on my Urban Outfitters wish list for several weeks when I came across it at the Glendale store for $6.99. I was really attracted to the colors, and I also wanted it because, well, although I’m not Russian, my father’s mother’s family was from Poland, and I liked the idea of wearing something with an Eastern European theme. This led to my Googling my great-grandmother’s maiden name, Pilarski, which I learned is the Polish equivalent of the English name Sawyer, “a person who saws wood” or “a woodcutter.”

  4. Thanks for all the kind comments!

    I just checked Urban Outfitters' website, and they still have the sweater for $19.99. In stores it should be $9.99 now without the Presidents Day discount.

    Here's the link to the product page: http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=19530914x&pushId=SALE_W_CLOTHING&popId=SALE_W&navCount=954&navAction=poppushpush&itemCount=80&itemdescription=true&parentid=SALE_W_CLOTHING&startValue=401&sortProperties=+subCategoryPosition,+product.marketingPriority
