In Which I Mimic The Colour Palette of the Great Outdoors

Hey y'all - it's quiet times here cuz things are just so busy everywhere else. And really, a girl needs a blog break every once in a while.

Just want to say a quick hello - and to let you know that normal programming should be back in a week or so.

In the meanwhile, here's a photo to show you a) my finished Aisance cardigan and b) my (soon to be blogged about) skinny sweat pants from Roots.

(I really am making an effort to show my face here even when I'm not feeling gorgeous...)


Mega thanks to Andrea for taking lots o' pics and for so excellently hosting me and Sara at her new home in the County last weekend.

  2. It's camouflage! (But stylish, fashionista camouflage of the highest order).

  3. Enjoy your break! Your cardi looks great and I'm curious to read what you have to say about the skinny sweats. I just bought a pair from J Crew -- I never wear sweats, really, but the slimmer version works and OMG they're so comfortable!

    1. It's like wearing a cloud. SO fantastic. I mean, they're sweat pants - which isn't the optimal fashion-wear, but I'm surprised by how relatively structured they look

    1. I went the weekend before and then tried to get a price rebate and they said no. Could have returned the pants and rebought them but I'd have had to have them on hand.

  7. Hello! I just wanted to say how nice it was to see you again. Not that I don't mind reading posts... but it's also nice to see the gal behind the blog. :D

    1. I agree - but I'm not the best at walking the talk. I can't wait to see your knit dresses on you!

    1. Thanks Rose. I'm quite happy with the fit of the Aisance. It was also a fairly relaxing project. I recommend it (with modifications). And Andrea takes some nice photos (I'm grateful to say...)

  10. The cardigan looks wonderful and I am glad you finally posted a picture of it, and your smiling face. The sweats Intrigue me. I haven't given in yet, telling myself I don't really wear sweats, but the temptation grows daily.

    1. Thanks M! They intrigue more and more - especially as the styles evolve.

  11. I am liking skinny, slouch sweats these days (blogged a couple of days ago about that seemingly contradictory look). And your cardigan is a masterpiece, of course!

    1. It is contradictory. But compelling for all that. And thank you so much for your lovely compliment about the sweater.
