This is actually a sewing-related post! For the ceremony I picked my "almost-camo" outfit, which consists of wide leg trousers and matching bias-cut tank top (seen peeking out from beneath the jacket) in a very soft, loose weave linen (Fabricland), and the
Vogue 1036 Today's Fit Betzina jacket in a cross-weave tan-peach linen (Gorgeous Fabrics). You already saw the jacket on a coat hanger
here. Colour-wise, this is the closest I have to our Canadian combat fatigues, and it generally blends in beautifully with the local colour scheme, not to mention the locals:

On an average day (which is every day - think Groundhog Day - each day is just like the one before) I can be exuberantly colourful:

Again, wide leg trousers and a tank top covered by a lightweight, unlined jacket, all in linen.
Our combat mission is now over, and I too shall be coming home. Soon. Hello, my beautiful green Ottawa!!!
Congratulations!! I'm glad all that mad preparatory linen sewing worked out so well. You look very chic and cool.
ReplyDeleteWell, well! Nice medal; nice adoring young men (or just thirsty perhaps?); and very nice "camo" outfit. You look fabulous as usual. Ottawa is green today, and humid (but not Afghanistan-hot). See you soon!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the medal! Love your zebra print "camos."
