Model vs. not model

I do love a quirky sweater, probably more than I should. Sadly, living in Los Angeles, it's sweater weather for approximately 3 1/2 weeks before Christmas. So, I make the most of it. This years fave is a cashmere polar bear number by another quirk-lover G. Kero. This French brand isn't easy to find but I got mine from the store Alder & Co in Portland. I love, love, love this store. Aside from the fact that owner Carla, is a great friend and in possession of an impeccable sarcastic wit (a wardrobe staple), her and manager, Rebecca, do such a bomb-diggity job of seeking out stuff that you really don't see everywhere else (don't even get me started on their sock assortment). The army pants, by Japanese brand Orslow, are from Alder as well, and I really have to force myself to put them in the laundry hamper after I've worn them for 3 days in a row. They are that great.
 

"Model is 5'8" and wears size S" while not-model (on the right folks, on the right!) is 5'5" and a size M. Not Model should probably also brush her hair.
