Don’t Sweater the Small Stuff

Talulah B. Cardigan Closure Pins

Turns out, boys do make passes at girls who wear glasses. And you mastered the naughty librarian look way, way back.

Bust out your best-fitting cardigans for Talulah B.’s new sweater clips.

Cabbagetown designer Samantha Rasnake’s duds keep buds undercover whenever you feel like rocking a buttonless topper and horn rims.

Rasnake matches vintage clip-on pairings — anything from jewel and flower pendant styles to delicate cameos — then adjoins sets with faux pearls for a sublimely bookish vibe.

She’s got plenty ready-made, but if you have a certain set in mind she takes custom orders, too.

And that’s always worth a second glance.
