thrifted threads: back to woollies

the rain has come back and so has the damp weather...

brrrr... and right through to my bones !

so i pull on my woollies, because fleece 

just won't do the trick for this west coast momma.

welcome to 'what i wore' wednesday.

i'm linking up with lindsey for some fashion fun.

won't you join us???

yup...it's another thrift shop sweater !

fyi...most of my clothes (99.999%) have been thrifted

or handed down to me from my three younger, stylish and so lovely sisters.

this is a conscious choice of mine and my way of doing my bit 

with the whole reduce, reuse and recycle movement
(besides - it is also so much fun !)

for a mere toonie, (since it was 'any sweaters for a toonie' day),

i rescued this beautiful handmade wool pull over 

from the thrift shop bin a few seasons ago.

i figured if it didn't look good on me, i could always unravel it for the yarn.

i took it home and ended up loving it.

it's perfect to wear over a long sleeve t-shirt and a pair of comfy jeans.

i think it might have some angora in it because of all the long fibres...

but surprisingly, it isn't a bit itchy.

for extra warmth and a touch of colour 

i added a matching scarf 

(a christmas gift from long ago from ian and my kidlums)

yes...it may be raining and a bit chilly and oh so damp.

but like other well seasoned west coasters...

i've got my woollies to keep me warm and cozy !!!

wishing you all a beautiful wednesday...
