This New Sweater I Didn't Knit -- Blame the January Sales. . .
Do you remember this post, when I blamed an old co-worker -- credited, rather -- for the decision to wear a favourite but old pair of shoes rather than lacing up my new pink Oxfords immediately? (May I admit here that I just reread that post, and I'm quite pleased with it, still?)
Well, I ignored that glamourous Montréalaise's sophisticated advice yesterday, and I wore my new, purchased-not-knit-by-me-nor-probably-by-any-actual-hands sweater the very day after I bought it. There was also some defiance in the purchase itself, as I've been trying to stay out of shops and resist temptation, conscious of not really needing anything else in my closet. But these colours. . . And the texture of the mohair. . . And the sweater was girding a mannequin in the window of a shop that I can't help passing several times a week. I'll have you know that I resisted its siren call at least five times. Then I went online and found that a hefty discount was being applied. . . .
As they say, the rest is history. 'twould be an even happier history if this deliciously cosy sweater had pockets, but I suspect I could have stretched it into sloppiness quite quickly in that case. (Wearing it here with standard navy tights, my Officine Creative pink oxfords (the pink of the shoes doesn't quite match the pink in the sweater, but doesn't quite clash either, and my Vince dress -- which does have pockets -- hooray! -- and is best seen in this post from 2015, Paris.)
I'd apologise for clicking "Publish" on two What I Wore posts this week -- and two Sweater posts at that, but I've re-committed to working on my manuscript draft, and this post promised to be expedient. Plus you might be amused to compare the two sweaters and note how very different (and perhaps just wrong in different ways) are the respective outfits I've put together with them. . .
What about you? Managed to sidle past all the January-sale temptations without putting any dents in your budget? If not, care to brag about wise purchases or 'fess up about ones you should have resisted? If you haven't succumbed to temptation, are you feeling pleased or wistful or stalwart? Just because my post was (relatively) short and sweet, doesn't mean your comments have to be. . . .
As for me, I'm burrowing into a Word .doc right . . . .NOW!
