Morning Walks: Workwear

I live in collared shirts & knit vests year-round in the perfectly climate controlled archives.

The Plan: Parker Flannel Button Up

100% cotton flannel button up shirt from Bridge & Burn.

I'm having a hard time finding quality flannel shirts for women.

The same style is available in wool...

 

The Plan: OH CANADA! Wild Rice

Picture_7

I spotted a cotton sack of OH CANADA wild rice on the shelf of my local Metro. I was looking for quinoa, so passed it by, but I regret it now.

I've read about wild rice as an imporant First Nations food resource, and about wild rice related artefacts from an archaeological perspective, but never considered tracking the grain down to try!

I will report back.

When civic engagement & community pride overcame malinformed political pressure.

I've been coveting this vest since I discovered Hands on with X - A major source of inspiration!

I've been moving my wake up call earlier by increments of 10min to account for less sunlight in the evenings.

I love the buttons and the Cape Breton style of this Saint James sweater - available from Lark.
