Tea for Me
Last night I finished the Loop-d-Loop vest. It was quick and fits, though I think I would have made it a little longer with ribbing on the bottom if I had known better. I will probably just keep it as is, though if I ever make another, I'll rib it.
Photos of my outfits are getting more and more unlikely. I mean, shorts? High heels? Red lipstick? All together? Probably not in my real world. I lurve these shoes, though, and can't wait to wear them so I figured I might as well give them a try with a fake outfit. They are so comfortable that I am not going to take them off just yet. Also, I like to pretend that I have long legs. Haha.
I am really chomping at the bit for spring. I decided that I needed to get some fresh air and sunshine and took a walk. Well, that ended up being pretty disappointing, since for several miles I just struggled and slipped on the ice that covers all of the sidewalks here. Great. Didn't fall though, today at least. It is sunny, but 17 degrees plus windchill really isn't my idea of a scrumptious March. All that is really getting me through is my daily cup of tea. I have a very strong reaction to caffeine, so it is a rare day when I can have more than one without going totally berserk, but that afternoon cuppa sure makes my life better. There is some kind of mysterious brain chemistry thing going on that I have no insight into. Well, I think I'll go have cup number two. Today is just one of those days.

You just keep right on doing it! You always look fab! I'm so pleased to see you doing this without looking tarty (you know what I mean). I bought some similar shorts recently and wondered what the hell I'd look like in them, with heels. Well, I'll be okay if I can pull it off like you can, though I realise you probably wouldn't shop (or something) in this outfit. BUT YOU SHOULD. We should.

When I was around five I couldn't whistle so I would raise my pitch and say "wit woo". Let me just say "wit woo" to you.
I made the loop-d-loop vest too. I loved the pattern--the shaping. Mine is a solid magenta. I also found it a bit short. I blocked the bejesus out of it and added inches. Cheers!

The vest looks great! It would certainly be easy enough to add ribbing to the bottom, if you were so inclined. (I am an inveterate fixer-upper of my knits.) The unlikely outfit is awesome, it would totally work in the early summer in a fashionable city. :)
