\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Good morning! How was your weekend? Mine was great, and I will write a bit more about the Art Walk<\/a> tomorrow (with some pix!), but today is Monday so I have an outfit to share.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I’ve always admired chic women who can pull off the wool shorts look in the winter. Due to aforementioned stunted legs<\/a>, I am not an ideal candidate for this fashion trend.<\/p>\n

K, however, with her slim physique and long legs, is rocking the cold-weather shorts. I had just enough of this grey\/black wool to sew the shorts and not an inch extra. The pattern is from this book<\/a>, which I love<\/em>. The pocket flaps and tabs are lovely, and these details step up the stylishness of the shorts. I used mother-of-pearl buttons and I think their opalescent sheen works well with the dark wool.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And I tried my second Figgy’s pattern. The Ayashe blouse<\/a> is simple and comfortable, and quite sophisticated. I wanted to try the version with the ties instead of the stand-up collar, and the shirt came together pretty easily. I don’t know why, but I always want to use gold with Figgy’s patterns. When I made the Sunki<\/a> dress, I used a stunning fabric with gold tulips and this time, the cream linen is dotted with embroidered gold floss. A touch of Midas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I liked the ties loose, rather than in a bow:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And my mom got K this shrug\/vest\/<\/span>thing<\/em>. I think it adds some hilarity to the outfit. Or maybe it looks high fashion?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yo yo yo, what up?<\/em><\/p>\n

Here’s the texture of the wool and a close-up of the button – I love them so much.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And K’s second top front tooth is coming out! She’s rocking it back and forth in the most grotesque manner and deriving a lot of pleasure from my groans of disgust.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m off to find our tooth fairy pillow…<\/p>\n
