My New Tam
Worn: December 9, 2012
I've loved the look of the traditional tam'o'shanter for many years, but high quality ones have only very limited availability even online. The tam that seems to be most widely sold comes with an attached bright orange wig only suitable for a clown costume. So thank goodness for Jas. Townsend & Sons for providing a proper wool tam.
Lynn said that this is one of the most "me" outfits she had ever seen.

Dressed for Time Travel
Worn: December 3, 2012
After years of intermittant exposure, I finally became a Doctor Who fan back in June. I've done some superhero costuming at science fiction and comic book conventions for a few years, but I decided to try an Amy Pond costume for a Doctor Who anniversary party/mini-con a few days ago. I didn't get any pictures of it, unfortunately, but this sweater, as seen in the episode "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship", is part of it. Screen accurate pieces usually take a lot of time, money, or both, to obtain, but I got lucky; this was the last one in my size available on the manufacturer website.

A New Lease on Life
Worn: November 26, 2012
I bought this sweater a decade ago this coming January. Initially, I got quite a bit of use out of it, but later my tastes changed and I found it excessively plain. I still loved the fabric and the color, so I held onto it for years. I wear a lot of cardigans and can never find enough in colors, fabrics, and cuts that I like. I was reasonably sure that the sweater was made of non-fraying fabric, and I knew I would never wear it again as it was, so a few days ago I cut the front open in the center, following the ribbing. Now I've got a great new cardigan that I expect to get lots of use from.
