After doing my vaguely ethnic septum rings post, I've been liking the idea of vaguely ethnic clothing. Vague being the key phrase here. I'm not talking about sticking a fez cap on or wearing a Native American poncho or whatever. I'm talking about completely original ideas that are mostly fantasy. Think Star Trek or fantasy books about fictional cultures. Not cultural appropriation.
I saw this sweater on the clothing rack and it just looked like it was from an alien world. I was never more sure of anything in my life when I tried it on. I think this is going to be my new signature look. I wore it to the office yesterday.

The designer is Gary Graham and it's woven from baby alpaca. Heavenly to wear. And yes, I definitely bought it on sale. I've never heard of this designer, but his stuff is exactly the vaguely ethnic stuff I've been thinking about:
