I did get in a bit of cycling (black skirt - gores). <br /><br />Although geographically we are far south of metscan's country, our winters are usually as severe - in recent years they have varied wildly. <br /><br />Yes, I love the little ruffle on the denim skirt, though I have seen those before. The catch is to find something sweet like that on a well-cut, quality casual skirt.lagatta à montréalhttp://www.lemab.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-33187430112402781162010-03-16T15:27:02.734-04:002010-03-16T15:27:02.734-04:00Windows wide open in Toronto today and, honestly, ...Windows wide open in Toronto today and, honestly, that's all I need for now.

We may still have to wait for some weeks. Usually I do my shopping well in advance. I don´t have anything against denim skirts, but somehow now, I think I´m past that age !??! Remember, this just concerns me, not others. Jeans are ok. I would never wear a denim jacket. I have a feeling, that my spring and summer colors won´t change dramatically from the winter ones. The materials instead will be lighter. Thank you for your spring review!mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-34796065082888647412010-03-16T10:23:42.388-04:002010-03-16T10:23:42.388-04:00such a sweet little ruffle on that denim skirt -- ...such a sweet little ruffle on that denim skirt -- wonder if it has a walking slit at the back that would let it work on my bike (and lagatta's) -- Occasionally, I buy a pencil skirt and forget to check that feature until I'm trying to get my foot across to the other pedal and then -- whooops!<br />Spring shopping is sooo tempting!

I love silk t-shirts; one doesn't see as many of them nowadays as a couple of decades before.No fabric "carries" colour as silk does - very bright shades that would be garish in synthetics or even cotton glow like gems in silk. <br /><br />But alas I doubt very, very much that it would fit my boobs. :-( <br /><br />The denim skirt is very chic and not at all campground, but I want a denim skirt in an a-line or with gores (the latter requires a fairly lightweight denim) because I'd want that on my bicycle. In town, bien entendu ... I hate camping!<br /><br />The weather has indeed been extraordinary. 14c today in Montréal, and sunny! Il y aura beaucoup de cyclistes chics aujourd'hui!lagatta à montréalhttp://www.lemab.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-2991683365110019022010-03-16T08:59:12.349-04:002010-03-16T08:59:12.349-04:00Love the color of that Bompard tee!
