Vintage Red & Brown Knit sweater vest in red and brown with leaf design.

✨Nannie Stardust’s Tale of the Russ Red-and-Brown Leaf Sweater Vest (Purchased 4/5/1990)✨ Some garments enter the world loud. This one arrived calm, like a deep breath. A stylish knit sweater vest from Russ—rich reds, warm browns, and a leaf design that looks like autumn whispered across it. Made of 55% Ramie and 45% cotton, this vest was purchased on April 5, 1990, from Joey’s, where the cashier probably said something like: “Oh honey, that’s a good one.” This vest has been waiting ever since, soft-spoken but sure of itself, the kind of piece that knows it can turn a simple outfit into a whole mood. It’s the vest you wear when: 🍁 You want cozy, but make it classy 🍁 You’re walking into a room like you brought your own sunlight 🍁 You’re channeling “teacher who smells faintly of cinnamon” energy 🍁 You want to look like you could give sage advice even if you’re just going to Target Perfect for layering over long sleeves, blouses, turtlenecks—or whatever you grab five minutes before leaving the house. Nannie Stardust is sending it off with tenderness, saying: “Go on, m’ijo… go make someone feel warm and wonderful.” This vest is ready for its next season— finally stepping into the fall-forest fantasy it was made for.
