Comments: Somewhat Cowl worn Somewhat Different

I *knew* that if I put you in my new bookmark/RSS system, you'd post!

The cowl is gorgeous on you, chickie. And I am so digging the long hair. Miss you!

finally a new blog entry.
THe layered look is in! and you look good in it.

Hey, welcome back! The cowl looks great!

Posted by Elinor at October 31, 2006 11:42 AM

Dude, I'm all about it = the alpaca and layering short sleeves over long. Well, actually I'm not because I don't have any short sleeved sweaters. But my 16-year old daughter dresses exactly like that. Skirts too. Over leggings. With leg warmers.

I had a great time at Rhinebeck. Hope you didn't feel like I was stalking you. But you know, *some* people just keep stopping to talk all the time and I was a newbie and had to keep looking.

i think it looks great that way. hey, was it just me, or did the Robin wheels he was selling at the festival all look smaller than yours or the one Kerstin bought that one year? like shorter/squatter? almost like mini Robins compared to yours? no? yes?

It looks beautiful that way. And for finishing something AND posting, I think you should get TWO cookies. Big ones.

I think it looks great that way!

So great to meet you last weekend. I think that the cowl looks great layered.

Posted by Kathy at October 31, 2006 12:43 PM

I would totally wear that outfit.

Great to see you!

Posted by claudia at October 31, 2006 12:47 PM

It works. Totally.

Posted by LaurieM at October 31, 2006 01:08 PM

It's a great combo!

Posted by Leslie at October 31, 2006 01:10 PM

yay, you're back!

Posted by sUsAn at October 31, 2006 03:49 PM

It looks fabulous, silly! :)

Posted by alice at October 31, 2006 04:30 PM

It most definitely works and seems like a perfect fall winter pairing. You look most excellent. I'm sure that more than one cookie is warranted!

Posted by Theresa at October 31, 2006 04:38 PM

No, don't second guess yourself, it looks very cool. It'd also be nice with a 3/4 sleeved button-down shirt, another layered look but not too warm for indoor wear...

Posted by loribird at October 31, 2006 05:27 PM

Love your hair--looks great! And the sweater is terrific, too. That Kim Hargreaves sweater will look fabulous on you.

Posted by Kim at October 31, 2006 07:51 PM

It looks so great....as do you! Glad to read a post from you. :)

Posted by Annie at October 31, 2006 07:54 PM

MADE ME LAUGH with the "I'm all about it!" :) Love you. Love your sweater. I'm all about the Leighlee!
It was so my pleasure to spend time with you at Rhinebeck! Thanks for coming! Shall we do it again next year??

Posted by sandy at October 31, 2006 09:03 PM

You look SWEET. I'll even MAKE you some homemade cookies. How's that?

Posted by Norma at October 31, 2006 09:04 PM

Great to see you back in blogland.

Have to say that I think the way you are wearing the somewhat cowl looks wonderful - great solution to the short-sleeve alpaca conundrum.

I love that look! It is fantastic.

Posted by Morgan at October 31, 2006 11:41 PM

I think it looks very hip and cool worn like that. Totally. Welcome back to the world of blogging! :-)

Posted by Mary at November 1, 2006 12:51 AM

Oh, yes, this is a very cute look for you! I, too, wondered what people would do with a short sleeved warm wooly sweater, but I think you've got just the right solution. Enjoy it!

Posted by Karma at November 1, 2006 01:41 AM

Looks very good layered that way ... I like the green.

Quandry indeed, but SUCH a stylish one! It was great to meet you at Rhinebeck!!

Posted by melanie at November 1, 2006 12:56 PM

I think it looks too cute. And you were too cute when I saw you. Sorry I couldn't think of anything intelligent to say when I saw you. Hopefully I'll get to see you again one of these days!

Posted by kate at November 1, 2006 09:32 PM

Hooray! A Woolflowers post! Makes my day.

The way you wear you sweater.....
The way you spin your fleece......

Leigh, you look adorable in anything you wear, and that sweater is perfect on you just the way it is.

Great to see you in Rhinebeck, hope to see you again soon, and hope all is well with all of you.

Posted by Teresa C at November 2, 2006 09:44 PM

well i think you're stylin' with the shirt under the new alpaca. perfect solution!

Posted by janet d at November 3, 2006 12:47 PM

Me thinks that that sweater looks good the way you're wearing it.

Posted by nik at November 3, 2006 03:53 PM

Love it! Two questions: what pattern did you use for the sweater? And where do you find hoodies that are made of such a nice, thin knit?

(Love your skirt, too.)

Posted by Ali at November 3, 2006 07:51 PM

Hi Ali,
The Somewhat Cowl pattern is by Wendy Bernard of Knit and Tonic (she's in my links ). The hoodie is from www.freepeople.com I think I am obsessed with hoodies. I'm all about it!

Posted by Leigh at November 3, 2006 08:13 PM

you totally pull this off. love the layering - very cool - and also love the greens.

if i were you i would have a hard time not wearing this outfit every single day.

Posted by susan at November 4, 2006 05:45 AM

I have missed you Leigh! How are you?

Posted by melissa at November 5, 2006 07:18 PM

Good to hear from you Leigh! You look v. well in the photo. I hope that all is well. Love the sweater, the look, and the hair!

Posted by elisabeth at November 8, 2006 03:10 PM

This looks great on you, and I like the layering effect.

Posted by Juls at November 10, 2006 08:42 PM

That looks totally cute like that. You should definitly wear it with the green!
