Plaid and the Monthly Bills

Do not let the greens leaves that have yet to change and fall to the ground deceive

you. The chill has come. Brush off those boots. Dig out those knit scarves and

wool mitts. Gone are the days of being a flâneur while the days of hibernation are

just beginning. There will be less people on the streets and fewer dogs at the park.

Squirrels are hurriedly running about often endangering themselves for bits of food

before the ground freezes over and their once green world has turned into a barren

land of white. When this happens, when the sun shines so strongly and so brightly

you are sure that there must be some heat emanating off of it, I can often be found

curled up on the couch, donning plenty of wool and sipping on some hot chocolate.

Okay, so you're probably sick and tired of the same four white dresses by now.

Believe you me, I have a very sound reason for this. We all know I love to shop

at thrift stores. We also all know how difficult it can be to keep white clean. (Or is

this just me?) So one could imagine how challenging it can be to find second-hand

items that are white - sans stains of course! I inspect items thoroughly when I thrift,

yet with white you have to be extra meticulous.  My collection is growing. Slowly

but surely. I find white is a nice alternative to black, which was once the most used

colour - or shade - in my closet. I've paired this plaid wool blazer with a black

dress before (Click here to see), but against the white I find the navy pops more. 

And before I go, just a quick mentioning of the belt I made. The how-to here.
