Merry Fair Isle?

Apparently this print is something called Fair Isle. I wasn’t aware of the technical term when I wore it on Christmas Day, but I was fortunate that someone informed me of it's true name. I'm fairly certain that this sweater would not have appreciated it if I continued to call it my "Snow Bunny" sweater. Or my “Do I look I’m from Vermont” sweater. But now that I'm in the know, I will only refer to this warm and cozy knit by it’s true name, Fair Isle.


But this isn’t what I wore on Christmas, it’s what I’m wearing today. I had hoped to get around to taking outfit pictures on Christmas Eve and Christmas day, but apparently endless games of Apples to Apples and cookie decorating superseded style blogging. I suppose that’s okay because it gave me a reason to style this Fair Isle sweater again today. Yep, only 48 hours have passed and I was experiencing Fair Isle Withdrawal {FIW}. After a few hours of Googling symptoms and cures, it seems like the only way to treat FIW is to simply wear more Fair Isle. Who am I to argue with the Google Gods? If they say more Fair Isle, I will give them more Fair Isle. They also recommended saying {or typing} Fair Isle as much as possible to ease the pain {in case you’re counting, the Fair Isle count is up to 9}.


So thanks for letting me get that out. I’m feeling much better now, because I know you were concerned, right?

  10. Today I wore the outfit that I wore on Christmas again, also. But, it won't be on the blog until tomorrow becuase my posts are a day behind. Was that TMI? Does that even make sense? I was just trying to point out something we had in common... not sound like a rambling fool, she rambled on.
    I'm stopping now.
