Pretty Boxes Sweater
“I appreciate messy people; individuals who defy categorization and break the molds, whose integrity surpasses any rule book and whose loyalty runs deeper than blood.” - Jim Wern, dreamer, philosopher, poet, devoted husband, father, manager, mentor, teacher, and friend.
Introducing the Escher-esque short-sleeved cropped sweater, a versatile piece that seamlessly layers over dresses and high-waisted pants. This stunning design offers the option to extend length and add long sleeves (with detailed instructions included), transforming it into a beautiful sweater perfect for pairing with jeans on crisp fall days. Inspired by the breathtaking hues of a fall sunset, this unique sweater features graphic boxes that enlarge as you progress down from the crew neckline, creating a visually striking effect.
For an added touch of vibrancy, you can incorporate the traditional Norwegian “lice” design—tiny colorful blips that enhance the overall aesthetic.
