OMG, Lisa, I just love you!

Sadly it was a rather dull splotch of brown mildly resembling Madagascar. Thankfully it's almost gone, it can only be seen if I'm looking for it now.

I'll never think of Madagascar the same way again

THANK YOU GUYS! I found a black hooded shak on sale at zappos that I ordered along with some woolie bottoms for both me and my daughter. I did get M so I could layer more underneath than I can with my S full zip shaks. Its nice cuz I don't own any hoodies, and I see how it will be great for skiing or cycling.

I just used the gift card at HTO for a winter cycling jersey for DH, cuz I didn't think the SM they had would work for me.

I thought I was done, but then the 20% coupon came from TE. I'd been wanting more midweight wool t-necks, especially to wear with my suits. I have 2 suits, one is black and one is charcoal grey. Which color SW mid weight zip Ts do you guys think would go best: http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodSW_15204.html

NEVER MIND, GRRR.........i decided to go ahead and order the orchid heather, and when I went to do it it was already gone in my size.

p.s. any XS gals check out the great buy on a red hooded shak right here on TE at 50% off..........

AHHH.. don't tempt me! I won't look at it.
Elaine, did the bottoms you bought have a low enough waist so they don't come up above your pants? I generally never wear anything under my regular pants, even when it's freezing, because I've never found any long underwear or tights that don't come right up to my navel. A couple of years ago, I did a search for low rise tights and got a very weird list of sort of a pornographic nature. The Gap did make low rise tights for a while, but I never found them again.

Bunch of SmartWool stuff on clearance at REI.

My parcel's coming this afternoon <vibrating like a dog waiting for a treat>

Lost my will power; I bought the red half zip shak, along with 2 Smartwool microweight LS tees.

I'm sorry..........., but glad one of you tiny gals got it. It looks like a lovely piece. I ordered mine in black, and think its really gonna round out my collection.

I bought the most beautiful goretex shell parka, and really think that between this piece, the woolie bottoms that are coming, and the REST of my Ibex collection I can pull off a trip to a cold place without packing a big puffy coat.

This strategy works so well for me, since I can just use fewer layers at home, combine them when I travel, and be prepared for anything without trying to anticipate exactly what the weather will be like. I don't know why it took so long to sink in, especially the idea of combining even more layers.

Its hard cuz when I go to stores they really discourage the wool, try to sell me fleeces, down sweaters, etc., but the Ibex pieces are so much more versatile! Thank you wool weenies for educating me................. Lisa always has such great advice (and I know we have similar taste). I ordered one woolie bottom but I will also be on the lookout for the lighter tight Mimi recommended. I am lucky I still have pants that are one size too big from when I lost my weight, but are perfect for when I need another layer on the bottom.

Now I only have to wait for the packages..........
