My it has been chilly here this week end ... 30 years ago here re some suggestions they would have us wear in the winter to keep warm and still look 'trendy'.. I so remember the layered rustic look, with hacking jackets ...... loved my hacking jacket but just couldn't get along with the jodhpurs though....






























I may, however, knit some of these darlings!!! hee hee !!

A hacking jacket is worn when you have a bad cough. There are a lot of pockets to keep hankies in. It was invented by Lord Chumbleton de Savoury who smoked 85 cigars a day and lived to be 105. His favourite hacking jacket was found to contain several years worth of damp hankies and a birds nest.

Leg warmers are as sexy as my grand mother was in stockings and suspenders smelling of Deep Heat and Sanatogen.
