Hullo, I thought I'd pop in to say I'm still here and show off my latest purchase, this dashing tie! I love it to bits, but I was rushing so badly to get dressed and be out of the house while there was still some light, that I made a right pig's tail of that knot! It can only be better next time, I guess. But I couldn't wait until next time to show it to you, so that's that.
Coming with it there are 2 knits just sent over by my mother, the red cardigan is made in a lovely Debbie Bliss Donegal tweed, and the vest in some rough dark green Shetland with lime flecks. I am very chuffed with these too, and I'll probably show them over and over again in many posts, as I hope to get a lot of wear out of them.
If you like them, stay posted, I've got more knits to show, some already made, others in the making as mother and I have project after project lined up, you'll get bored stiff... I, for one, never seem to.
I love your tie! And your green vest! What a smart looking outfit.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ginger! I only picked the tie yesterday in TK Maxx - once I saw it I couldn't put it down! It may not be vintage but it speaks to me in relation to all that vintage winter sportswear that I am constantly dreaming off.
ReplyDeleteI love this menswear look on you!! You manage to make it look quite feminine, and just the way a sporty 1930s gal would look!
ReplyDeleteThe tie is really lovely... I like the second picture and the trousers you are wearing there!
ReplyDeleteThanks girls!
