Thrifting stories: Sweaters

 If there is one thing I constantly look for when thrifting, it's sweaters. Over the years I have picked up scores of them. In the beginning, I'd pick anything that looked good but my taste evolved from looking for name brands to now just looking for good colors and great materials. More than 95% of the collection is made of natural fibers. I'm in the process of compiling a table with stats but uploading just the pics for now:
