I know it’s a very rare occasion that I even mention Calvin Klein on my blog and I’ll get into that later…. I will either mention his name when I find a great piece ‘made in Italy’ or like this sweater that has a contemporary twist.  This white sweater with graduating shades of gray,  for me being an artist,  is gorgeous no doubt.  I’m just going to get my opinion up front and over with here.  When I was a teenager in south Texas in the early 80′s Calvin Klein had just came out with the HOTTEST pair of jeans known to mankind at that time.  I mean to own a pair of Calvin’s at the moment was a huge status symbol because they were very expensive at the time.  I remember I had to have a pair or 2 and they retailed for ….  get this…. $45 which back in the early 80′s was a butt load of serious cash for anyone.  Me being in high school at the time just had to have them.  At the beginning you couldn’t get your hands on them they were like the Apple iPhone or iPad of today.  So hot… don’t you remember those Brooke Shields commercials?  Slowly but Shirley Calvin Klein added his name to everything under the sun, I mean it was on toilet paper to trash bags and to me at that moment I watched one of America’s favorite designers sell his name down the river.  Don’t get me wrong I’m all about marketing and making a buck but at what point does a designer say enough with the licensing?  Another great example was Pierre Cardin, now he really did license his name to toilet paper…  Now that that’s off my chest I can actually get back to my posting here.  I found this classic white cotton button down Laundry by Shelli Segal blouse and the khaki skirt is Theory.  The Laundry white blouse with the khaki Theory skirt just together look smart and classic but for that added splash of creativity I’m going with this Calvin Klein light weigh sweater to add an extra punch of brilliance.  So the only thing that got between me and my Calvin’s was the flood of his name.  If there is anything on my blog that you are interested in please email me for price, additional photos and measurements.  Be sure to check out The Thrifters Boutique and follow me on Twitter & Facebook, also please enjoy my YouTube videos on thrifting.  Toodles for now.  Daniel
