Good Monday morning friends.
Hopefully we here inland and along the southeastern coast will get
through this week safely. Being in the path of Hurricane Florence is
very unnerving to say the least!
On the way to drop off something at my nearby mall a few days ago, couldn't
help but notice, the larger than life sized photo (above) in one of the H&M display
windows. I love it - both the photo and the coat!
I looked at it again online and decided no way did I need a 'Polar bear' coat living
down south!
I already have a small collection of longer coats, love them all, however
we don't get enough cold weather to wear them too often.
When traveling to colder climes there's no way to stuff this one into a
suitcase. . . . . . unless I take everything else out!

I did however check out the new sweaters in H&M. I've had good luck with their
mean I can keep my sweater wardrobe current without spending a fortune.
I like this relaxed style with the slightly longer back, dropped shoulders and ribbed
cuffs and hem. I needed this one in beige tones but it comes in several other
colors also.
One drawback is the possibility of the yarns pilling after some wear.
This I can live with and, quite honestly, it happens to just about all sweater
knits, even merino wool and expensive cashmere. . . . . . which is why investing
in one of these battery operated lint shavers (mine is a Dritz) is worthwhile.
I purchased mine at JoAnn Fabrics at a good savings by using a discount
coupon. it really works well. . . . . . . . today I'm actually 'shaving' my sweaters
as I plan to head north again soon!
Today we will commence hurricane preparation all across North Carolina.
Last night's TV coverage showed grocery store shelves already cleaned
out of necessities such as bottled water and non-perishable food items!
This is a very stressful time for us all and we'll be battening down
the hatches over the next few days.
