Embroider Me!
As I work my way toward this Winter’s wardrobe, I’m finding myself drawn to chunky textures, like the embroidery on this felted vest. Also in this category, I’ve picked up a pair of multi-colored woven trousers (dubbed “serious pants” by my Studiomate Rob), some thick wooly sweaters, and a truly MAGICAL poncho that I have not been able to stop wearing (it’s like walking around inside a hug).
I like this textural look because A.) it suits the chilly weather and B.) something about the irregularities of these handmade textures has me resembling a high school art teacher from the 70s, which of course I REALLY dig.

The last picture reminds me of the jellyfish we saw at Monterey Bay Aquarium. Nice exhibit of biomimicry fashion.
Looking forward to seeing pants and poncho.
I’m wearing the MAGIC PONCHO today, Suella. My Studiomates think I look like a Rainbow Clint Eastwood!
Will we get a photograph?
That dress is heaven dripped in grape juice. LOVE.
Err, dipped. Not dripped. But I guess that could work too.
it looks brilliant~~
