Returning from Africa, I realized I needed not only to launder and pack away my
safari and Summer clothes, but do something about getting my Autumn and
Winter clothes out of storage!
Storage here in the cottage consists of drawers and under bed plastic boxes -
we are really short on hanging space, no huge walk-in closets unfortunately.

I truly love sweaters and I have a lot which I've collected over the years.
Some are bulky and oversized such as this one offered by Zara - but as I have
a couple of similar ones I will not be ordering this one. Others are cashmere
classics such as twinsets in basic black and grey for dressy occasions.
Also Lou & Grey tunic length chunky styles to throw over leggings, and
several H&M casual sweaters for around the house - cheap yes, but have
never had a problem throwing them in the washer/dryer which makes me happy.

This one I do love and may succumb to desire - Zara online is a place I love
to visit late at night because I can't get to NYC where there's a real store.
The addition of the sheer frill at the cuffs really makes a basic (and I love basic)
sweater become one to wear at night. With the right jewelry, a pair of sleek
trousers or a black lace skirt, and a perfect shoe, I'll be ready to go - restaurant,
theatre, even possibly a cruise ship!

. . . . . . and this one? Well I did buy it from the Zara shop at Heathrow Airport on
Monday! It was in the window under a cute coat and I immediately fell for the
lacing and the fact it's chunky but soft and light as a feather, and the sleeves
are really long which I love.
I have to add that I feel really good in my sweaters as I've lost quite a bit of weight
over the past year, mostly due to my thyroid being removed last June, but also
because I've been more cautious about what I eat. My doctor is pleased as she
thinks getting weight down as we age is so important for overall good health and
safety. She even wants me to start lifting weights. . . . . . . . well what do you think
about that?
Just a little fashion break - I'll be back this coming week
with more great safari posts starring beautiful animals
and Maasai people.
