it's gettin' colder

mismatched, but cozy

Today I wore a summery skirt, just because I felt like it. Pair it with some thick leggings and voila! Summer skirt turned winter skirt. I want to get wool tights, though. That would be so nice.

Look! The kitties want a peek!

Got this magazine a couple of weeks ago, but haven't had a chance to look at it a lot. There are two skirts in there that I want to make up for the winter. I am thinking wool and corduroy. Yesterday I picked up a corduroy skirt and a bias plaid Christmasy looking skirt at Salvation Army. All together it was something under $5. That felt good. They need washed, though. And I might change the lining in the cord skirt. I love winter clothes and bundling up. I'm still knitting up a storm, but have decided I'm a very loose knitter. I think I need to use needles two sizes smaller than the patterns recommend. Luckily, the garment I am knitting right now will look nice in the looser knit, so it should be fine.

Stay warm!

  2. Lovely! My winter wardrobe is my summer wardrobe, plus thick tights, long sleeved shirts underneath everything, and cozy sweaters on top. I never understand people who pack clothing away for the season.

  4. Such sweet kitties! :)

    I am just beginning to learn how to layer things up for really cold weather....something I never learned how to do in Florida! ;) tee hee! I love your floral skirt with the winter woolies! So pretty!

    I think the 'idea' of wool tights is wonderful and cozy....but am rather allergic! I'm sure they would be nice and warm, though!

    I've been wanting to make up a pair of flannel lined dungarees for winter....in a very 50's style!
