What's better than a grandpa cardigan? A grandpa cardigan with elbow patches. Ever since I was in high school, I've been mildly in love with that little detail. It all started because while I was going through my "I think I'm Annie Hall" phase / wearing equestrian gear to school (it sounds way more chic than it actually was - I really just looked like a very awkward boy), my mom gave me one of her corduroy blazers from when she was in high school. In fact, I still have it today - you can see it here. I was already having a bit of a corduroy and velvet blazer moment, but the elbow patches sealed the deal. Plus, I've always loved my mom's hand-me-downs.

Well, the ones that I can fit into. That skinny b****.

(Love you, mom!)
