late summer dressing, chic style August 8, 2013

 

Early morning here in the Pacific NW is refreshing, calm, cool…

Even as the temperatures continue in the high 80’s low 90’s dayside, the flipside without the sun reminds me that fall is soon on its way.

For those times when adding just a little makes it oh so more cozy and nice, there’s nothing easier than vest dressing.

The ELISBETH CARDI style was designed with this in mind.

It looks lovely over long, short or no sleeves! as a chic layering piece or light jacket.

  • Elisbeth uses quick-knitting worsted-weight yarn with a 1824 gauge
    and is made in one piece with minimal finishing techinques.

Match your wardrobe in a lovely neutral base or make in a high-contrast tone like red or curry for an early fall pop of color!

Wishing you the best of the late summer breeze
…Bonne Marie

Vintage SMILES: Back in the day of pioneer television & printed photo mags, celebrities might’ve looked a little different!

This is a little squirrel named Tommy Tucker, who was orphaned, adopted and, in the 1940s, an ambassador of good will! :)
