There are things to love about winter. The avocados are fantastic and so is the fennel oranges and mandarins. Both of our kids were born in winter so we have parties and dinners and excited children. It rains. Today is the shortest day, so the days get longer from here. Like a true Melbournite I have whinged almost exclusively about the weather for all of this blisteringly cold day.

We went to the NGV 150th celebration at the weekend thus the watery image. I’ve put this photo in to demonstrate that I have been wearing this Jacket pretty much non-stop since finished. Its made from thick stretch wool that is soft enough to drape a little but not enough to be like a cardy, well not exactly like a cardy, but a bit like, but it can be worn as a jacket. 
I’ve tried to capture the versatility of this garment in these photos, but black is difficult to capture and do justice to. The fabric is a medium weight stretch ponti which is warm and very comfortable. This can be worn with the long black ties grabbing the waist or as ashift dress with extra long sleeves which gather on the arms and fall around the hands. These sleeves look great coming out of a wide sleeved jacket.
