Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth

At work this week a colleague told me that she was cleaning out her clothes cupboard and had a brown cardigan that she thought was too good to put in the op-shop bin, did I want it?

Brown’s not normally a colour I wear but not one to say no to something I haven’t seen yet I said I’d love to have a look at it.

She brought it in the next morning and I pulled a lovely brown jacket out of the bag and tried it on, it fit perfectly – I wouldn’t describe it as a cardigan.

I immediately fell in love with it. Wouldn’t you?

I tried it on and it fit perfectly and it felt just right.

Just by chance I had a look at the label and not only is it a gorgeous jacket but it’s a Harry Who jacket (a real designer, not just a Target number) – shown here on my crocheted coat hanger.

I bought her a bunch of roses as a thank you.

I’m going to a 50th tonight, so it will get its first outing. Now, what to wear with it? Do I dress it down with jeans – the party’s at a pub with a band, or do I wear a skirt?

On a completely unrelated note – what’s your first memory of reading? Still Life with Cat wants to know.
