I had to dig out the heavy wool cardigans and wool dress pants. My colleagues have been wearing long underwear under their clothes and fingerless gloves to stay warm because the office doesn't warm up. I am thinking of sewing wool knits to stay warm. <br />Love the shoes and the plan for the tweed/leather jacket. tcsewhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01086296324564857758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-58520362564499859122013-01-25T15:28:29.111-05:002013-01-25T15:28:29.111-05:00Can't wait to see the tweed and leather.

You have taught me to start looking at magazines and catalogs in a whole new way!! I no longer am disgusted that the clothing is on a skinny model...
