Wardrobe Wish List: Jewelera’s Cotton Field Sweater Guard From Etsy

February 8, 2010     Posted in Fashion, Style

Every fashionista knows Etsy.com is an online goldmine. Not only is everything one-of-a-kind unique, handcrafted by independent designers, but it is my personal go-to website for cutting edge accessories and unexpected finds.

Sure, I love the pearl and flower detailed necklaces from JCrew, but when wearing them I can almost guarantee that at least one other girl in the office or in class will be sporting the same one. They are just so expected. That’s why I’m always scouring Etsy for a hidden gem. Some little accessory that will add a spritz of unexpected glamour to any outfit.

My latest obsession? The Cotton Field Sweater Guard (with vintage brooches ) by designer Jewelera.

The sweater guard has been on my radar for awhile now. Cardigans are a staple in my wardrobe, and I’m always looking for a way to spruce them up a bit. Necklaces could do the trick, but it’s just so charmingly romantic to have a draping chain linking either side of your sweater. And this one from Jewelera is the perfect blend of edgy and earthy vintage, with two gold leaf brooches connected by swinging chain accented with white gold etched acrylic beads.

This accessory is gorgeously reminiscent of renaissance days, with the detailed accents of a hippie flower child. I can already see this sweater guard adding instant glamour to a conservative cardigan, or as a uniquely feminine touch to the extremely trendy blazer.

What I love even more? I can totally see this added to the lapel of a jean jacket or tank top for a handcrafted, boutique feel. There is no doubt that all your friends will be asking you what high end shop you scooped up this find from, never knowing that you simply dressed up a plain tee or tired jacket with a whimsical embellishment.

    OMG, don't you love Etsy? That sweater guard is too cute! The only thing I don't like about Etsy is that they don't have a registry or wishlist or anything. I found a way around it by making a myregistry.com wishlist, which is actually probably better anyway since I can add stuff from wherever I want to the same list, but it just seems odd to me that Etsy wouldn't have their own. Oh well, this is totally going on my myregistry wishlist!
