Thanks, Ket. That little book is a Canadian classic -- so simple and so sweet and it's a story many kids can identify with. When I worked in a bookstore, it flew off the shelves in various editions -- baby-sized, board book, picture book.
Kim, some of these "cranberry" reds are a little closer to burgundy IRL, and some are a little brighter -- but they all work pretty well tonally, especially if you break them up with textured items and/or pattern, and they also work in an interesting way with true red, which I do also wear and love.
Aww, Mary Beth -- love that word swagger. The pants do make me feel a bit that way.
Helena, thanks!
Suntiger -- no -- I haven't posted it yet. I will try to, soon! It is an exact replica of a suit I had as a kid! I want a scarf with a Pucci print to go with it, back like when I was in grade school!
TheCat, thank you! Cranberry is a gorgeous tone, not always available. I prefer the brighter versions when I can find t hem. Only the coat really fits that description (of the items here). The others are a little closer to plummy burgundy. But all great, all the same!
Column, I love that you do call and response with your DD!
Merwoman, Roberta -- thank you!
Carol -- a ruffled blouse would be great under the vest, you are right. I don't have one. Ruffles are tricky for me. But I'm not against a ruffled jabot....
Bonnie, Jaime, Peri, -- thanks!
Nitsirk - thank you and I hope you show us your cranberry corduroys!
MsMaven, Bijou, Janet, Cat2, Star, Kellygirl -- thank you all!
