posed artfully amongst the Ibex!

I have the brown FZ shak and I wish I'd bought the black...but I LOVE my brown and red Norgie...I just wish it was a wee bit longer....

I 'm going to Boston on Wed and need to layer up....!! nothing will get here in time though....


p.s. edit
I guess I must've really missed you guys because I just sunk another small fortune in Ibex: another echo T, the Shak jersey in black and a pair of the loose tights...

oy!! what happens in the summer!!! a whole NEW wardrobe?!?!?!?

OK, you guys are so bad I broke down and made another order. I finally bought the black strato sweater at the 50%off sale at High Country. It was the first ibex sweater I saw that I really wanted but wasn't willing to pay full price for. For 77.50 with free shipping I couldn't resist. Isn't she pretty?

Did any of you guys try it on today? How did it fit compared to the shak? I ordered the last black small they had.

I tell myself a girl has to have 3 sweaters, right?

Elk & Trisk- quit blaming us for your sins! We have enough of our own!!!

Elk- you can't go wrong with the black shak. If you love your Norgie why not get the one in the reverse colors of the brown/red one you have- the red/brown?
I love my black/chalk Skyline and my heavy ribbies. I don't like the lighter colored Skylines because they are not as slimming and also the chest pocket lining makes an odd bump in the front bust area on one side. Can't see that in the black one at all.
Always love my shaks best though.

Trisk- that sweater looks gorgeous. I'm sure it must be slightly heavier than the shak- as it should be.

Dianyla- did you decide about the pale blue shak yet?

[Triskeliongirl]

Well seeing you guys in that shop surrounded by all that Ibex just did something to me......... But I did resist the Mollie Jacket which I really don't need, and the Bella Vest, which fortunatly also sold out in my color/size as I hesitated!

Yes it does seem heavier than the shaks, so I can say its different then, right? I just hope its not too heavy for where I live like the organic sweater was. Too bad it will arrive after my trip, but I know I'll use it on those days when I can't get my house to warm up and when I travel to a cold place.

These sweaters should last a long time, and it was such a good sale......... I resisted when ibex reduced them to $98, but for $77 I know I would have regretted not ordering it.

Lisa, enjoy your Kate! Its my favorite thing to pair with my shaks.

[elk]

OK...about the Kate...the neckline looks kind of open..wide, low....

I don't like wind on my collarbone...


Lisa...I don't blame you...it's how we bond...

I really liked the Kate, too, but I just couldn't bring myself to spend $90.00 on what is essentially a LS T shirt. I will look for some merino shirts, but probably Smart wool or other brand that are a bit cheaper.
It's going to be in the low 40's today, so I will probably wear my new Shak full zip as a jacket today.
Lisa, Steve could out buy any woman, I am quite sure! Of course, he gets excited about buying things like special bags to pick up leaves and snow blowers, but he likes buying clothes, especially clothes for all of the outdoor activities we do. I mean, you couldn't possibly wear your cycling clothes for hiking??? (actually I wear my heavy cycling jerseys for everything).

Oh, much more than 3!!!
