I don’t have much to say about this outfit except that its sole reason for existence is the butterfly-on-butterfly action. I couldn’t resist. I love a good butterfly motif like nothing else except florals, so I’m actually considering re-rebuying this J. Crew sweater (and the yellow butterfly version too, maybe) in a smaller size. Too bad that prices on eBay are kinda ridiculous, especially after factoring in the exchange rate. All the sighs.

(Sidenote: did J. Crew use this butterfly print for any other pieces? Asking for, uh, a friend …)

  1. You can find that sweater fairly often on Thredup – you’d have to check frequently, as there’s no telling when it appears, but you can get it at a super reasonable price!

  2. I feel like that sort of butterfly pattern ought to be DIY-able — with some of that paper that allows you to print images on fabric or create iron-on transfers, and some vintage butterfly illustrations maybe?

    • Gosh, that sounds waaaay outside my DIY abilities. But I like the idea of tracking down vintage illustrations … hmmm, I’m sure I could do something interesting with those.
