What I'm loving for fall...

Well, the Vogue Fabrics mailer finally arrived and to my amazement I found I was only slightly tempted to make a purchase. Most of the fabrics are still very summery and for some reason I'm already thinking fall. So today, I was a happy camper when I surfed over to Vogue patterns to find these:


V1123 - the neckline on the dress is a bit severe but I am in love with the jacket. The line drawing shows kimono sleeves with gussets and a lovely collar that stands away from the neck without being oversize.



V1129 - a totally cool unlined fitted jacket with what looks like a nice high armhole. It would make a great throw-on jacket for Florida's "cold season", more of a long cardigan really. The drape adds a touch of drama (more than plenty for my non-dramatic clothing personality).



V8604 - the briefest jacket of all, a cross between a shrug and a cardigan, it could easily become a favorite this season.

We still have a few months of heat left this year which gives me plenty of time to dream up the perfect collection of little black (and gray and blue) dresses to wear with these jackets.
