International streetstyle has a big influence on me. I often browse through blogs like The Sartorialist and streetstyle community sites like lookbook.nu and Chictopia to see the great style of real women. When I stumbled upon this Parisian beauty on Elle.com I KNEW I had to find a crocheted top!

But I can’t wait until spring to wear crochet! So I dashed out to my nearest thrift store and found this vest and top and I’m determined to winterize them!
