Your merino layers look cosy and comfortable.<br /> I have winter clothes well out of sight for the long hot summer. (I am not a good purger, though) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crafting-a-plea-for-help#post-1761340 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 19:38:49 +0000 unfrumped 1761340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You bet!<br /> I tend to have TOO many heavy sweaters in that each one can't get enough wears. So layering is s goal.<br /> Lightweight merino is great for me too. It often looks classier than other knits and I can wear it ? 9 months of the year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crafting-a-plea-for-help#post-1761339 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 19:37:46 +0000 El Cee 1761339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Crafting and candymaking is a fabulous way to spend a cold day. You look cute and very comfy -- that is the exact formula I am wearing today for my own home project day... tunic, leggings and boots. Have you tried Space Bags/Vacuum Pack Bags for the out-of-season storage of your winter "puffies and woolies"? They really come in handy for those of us who have limited storage space.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crafting-a-plea-for-help#post-1761301 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 17:23:15 +0000 Maneera 1761301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have my word....I'll remind you! Our weather is much the same. So I make sure ALL warm clothing is out of my closet come summer (or I might purge them all too!!!). </p> <p>But I guess you have limited space living in a RV? Perhaps time to go find a vintage trunk that can hold your winter clothing and become an extra stool/table during summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crafting-a-plea-for-help#post-1761277 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 16:13:52 +0000 cindysmith 1761277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not going to get above freezing at all today, so more layers again today. I have to make Christmas Crack candy, and then crochet those last few gifts that I've been putting off. I have a faux sheepskin lined fleece jacket from Walmart to add once I get ready to sit down and crochet, because I get cold when I'm sitting still.</p> <p>Tunic: Worth (I think. 100% merino wool find at the thrift store)<br /> Base layer sweater: Brooks Brothers merino cardigan (another thrift store find)<br /> Joggers: some juniors brand, a clearance rack find<br /> Boots: the sak<br /> Unseen: fleece lined leggings and thick wool socks</p> <p>Final note: y'all have to promise me that you will kick me or throw stuff at me or something this coming spring if you see/hear of me trying to purge these nice warm wool items when I do my seasonal reorganize of my closet. I have a bad habit of looking at warm stuff and thinking "why do I have this wool sweater? This is Texas and I sweat like a buffalo most of the year" and I purge the nice warm stuff and then I find myself in a panic every time our brief cold season rolls around. I need help, I need y'all to be my memory when I willfully forget how stinking cold I get when the temperature drops below 70F LOL </p>
