Say hello to Fall and the first official day of Sweater Weather!
Everyone warned me when I moved to southern California that I’d miss the change of seasons. After all, I grew up near the Poconos where Mother Nature puts on a magnificent display of colorful leaves for a few weeks every year.
But surprisingly, even in LA, there are four distinct seasons. Sure, those seasons are a lot more subtle, but that just means you have to pay a little more attention.
And after sweltering in an oven called Tempe for the last few days—the temperature is hovering about 107 degrees in the afternoons—I’ll be reaching for a lightweight sweater when I return to the cooler 60 degree evenings in LA this weekend.
Today’s VPOD would be a perfect choice. This unlabeled multi-color striped lightweight knit from the 1980s looks like a Missoni descendant and is simply charming with its keyhole neckline and wooden loop closure.
It’s a pretty Fall find for a vintage fashionista!
Available at Nasty Gal.

I also would have dated it as 70s but I defer to the site descriptions and this site listed it as 1980s.
Thanks for clarifying!
I had that sweater in 1978, so I think it is actually vintage seventies. I got it at Nordstrom in Seattle!
The tipoff is the neckline teardrop cutout, as I recall that is very typical seventies. Anyway.
