Stunning little sweater vest with gold buttons and scalloped edges 😍

Let us gather around and learn a valuable lesson about seasonality. I posted this heavy knit piece right in the middle of July. You will not be shocked to hear that it tanked. We barely scraped five hundred views because absolutely nobody is thinking about wool blends when it is ninety degrees outside. The analytics showed a dismal engagement rate. My audience was probably at the community pool trying to survive the heat wave.

If you are finding this from a Google search in November, the top itself is actually lovely. I step back from the camera to show you the full fit while pointing out the neckline. The wavy trim lays perfectly flat against the collarbone without curling up after a wash. My favorite detail is the cut of the armholes. Usually, these sleeveless knits are carved so low that half your bra is exposed. This one sits right at the natural shoulder line. The metallic closures look like heavy vintage brass but they are lightweight plastic. That means they do not drag the fabric down into a weird slouch.

The only saving grace of this flop was the very first second of the video. I looked directly into the lens and delivered my opening line before I even fully stepped into frame. That immediate eye contact kept a few of you watching just long enough to hear me out. It is a good reminder for me to maintain that connection, even when I am making terrible choices about the retail calendar.
