Last week was rough; between a tough project at work, trying to find time to write, and some personal issues, I was just about done. By Friday, I had more or less decided to hit “pause” on the blog, just to get some breathing room. Having to work on Saturday didn’t help matters. Sunday turned out to be a great day, however – not least because I got my first (5 star!) book review on Amazon US. I was so freaking excited! I have a feeling I have one of you guys to thank for that, so – thank you! You have no idea how much it means. More to the point here, it made me realize that, as much as writing this blog can sometimes be a source of stress, it has also brought me so many opportunities to connect with some really cool people. So, here I am.
Ahem. So, the outfit. I called this “Hitchcock at the office”, because the vibe of the sweater (and skirt) reminded me of something Tippi Hedren might have worn.
The sweater is by Judith & Charles, which is a brand I knew nothing about until I started seeing it at Holt’s (last year?). I think it’s Canadian, but I’m not sure. In any case, I was pretty happy to find this sweater for $20 – I love the boatneck style, and it’s an uber-soft cashmere blend. I’m also, dare I say it, becoming a fan of this oatmeal colour. My friend J., who hates beige, will not approve, I’m sure. But we can still be friends, right?
Congratulations on the 5* review! You’re on my wishlist but I’m on an Amazon ban until I’ve read and deleted at least 10 books from my Kindle. I’m on number 5 so maybe by March I’ll download your book 🙂
I can’t wait!! I want to know what you think sooooo bad …
Just bought your book, sounds interesting & I’m looking forward to starting it. Fits nicely with my new years resolution to start reading for fun again 🙂
Yay! I can’t wait to hear what you think – I hope it doesn’t let you down. And good luck with your new year’s resolution – check back tomorrow’s post (Jan 27) as you may find it interesting 😉
Hi! New reader here – found your blog through Fran and have been making my way backward through your archive. I always love finding other Canadians’ blogs. Winter fashion can be the pits sometimes.
So glad to hear you got a 5 star review! I’ve bought your book but haven’t had a chance to read it yet (the joys of working motherhood with a toddler underfoot… sigh).
Hey, there! Thanks for checking out the blog 🙂 I love to hear from Canadian readers, if only so we can commiserate together about the weather.
And I totally feel your pain (as a working mom), but I hope you will enjoy the book when you have a chance to read it. I would love to hear your thoughts!
Ugh, beige. It’s just so boring
Mwah! Love ya, babe 🙂
