I am trying to find outfits for these new Simon Chang twill pants I got while visiting my Mom. I never thought I would be wearing twill, let alone in brown of all horrors, yet these (maybe because they are from SC) seemed acceptable on me. They seem to fit my long rise. Now I wonder if they aren't too tight (in the behind). I completely hate my body at this point, but I know part of it is only my own brain's distortion.

I am also introducing to you the sweater I made with wool that was presented to me for Christmas. My own creation! I thought about making something matching the Kibbe's "Soft Gamine" description, which seemed to fit me best. I used 4 1/2 balls of Noro silk and wool yarn mix. It's very breathy, and it was a real pleasure to knit. I used oversized needles, so a cami is a must underneath. I have found my navy cami to go well with it. (And with brown). I also got wool to do a neckline but in the end I prefer it raw like this. What do you think?

Thanks for looking!
