My Wild Wool Challis Shirt!



Readers, my internet service is back AND my shirt is done!  You can view me modeling it here.



Let me be the first to say it: this print is garish.  It's not my usual style.  Yet I'm drawn to it nevertheless.  I don't know why.

(Male + pattern + boldness?)

I think a classic gingham or solid shirt in a soft color is more flattering on me -- maybe it's my age or my coloring or some undefinable something.  Yet I love my wool challis shirt and I do think the dusty pinks and beiges complement my complexion.  Perhaps it's best worn with a cardigan or something to balance the bold print.  If you have styling ideas (please don't say hooded rain poncho), please let me know!

Meanwhile, I have rekindled my love for my Singer 66 treadle.  Expect more videos of us in the near future: topstitching, maybe ruffling, or just wandering together through a field of wildflowers...

Have a great day, everybody!
