Cold weather clothing

Some days I wake up and come over all Henry Ford - any colour, so long as it's black! This morning the sun shone and I was eager to be outside working in the garden. But the wind, a strong easterly, was absolutely bitter and, although I was warmly clad, the best place to be was in the kitchen. When I'm baking I always wear a pinny. How old-fashioned! Yep - that's me. I've got three!

This pinafore was one of the goodies on a knife skills course that I attended with one of my daughters. It was a great day out. I was surprised by the number of young men on the course and also by how serious and skilled they were, not to mention helpful - one of them did my washing up while I was still pulling bones out of my fish! Patti's Visible Monday coming at the start of the week it isn't unusual to find me in a pinny.

I'm dressed for warmth in high-waisted trousers, a wool/linen mix from Cos. They have rather nice design details, the seaming that gives a snug waist area opens into belt loops and then into flat pockets over the hips and front pleats.

 

The woollen v-neck jumper from French Connection tucks into the high waist. It's oh, so cosy. The ancient blouse with Peter Pan collar (old habits die hard!) is from Les Prairies de Paris. I wear the black necklace a great deal because, although it is chunky, it is very light and comfortable and was a present from my elder daughter.

Not especially visible, Patti, but warm!
