Cue

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! Since I was little, my mother has drummed into me that I should only wear clothes made from natural fabrics or else I’ll turn into a pumpkin. Oh wait, wrong lesson… Natural fibres look better, feel better and age better. And they don’t electrocute you when you remove them. Hence from a teen, I’ve been obssessed with the feel of garments. Yeah, call me ‘materialistic’. When I’m shopping, I literally close my eyes and run my fingers through the racks until I’m satisfied with something soft and luxurious. I’ve actually trained my fingers to decipher between fabrics (acetate, acrylic, alpaca, cashmere, cotton, elastane, leather, linen, polyester, rayon, silk, viscose, wool, and even blends!). I also meticulously check the manufacturer’s label to make sure I’ve not been jibbed by man-made fibres. One of my favourites is Merino wool. Fine-weight, light, soft and durable. They mold to you and are layer-friendly.

When Merino Wool asked me to style a sponsored post about my love for sheep’s clothing and to dress up in woollen pieces, I thought ‘is that a challenge?’ I envisioned myself decked out in a wool top, wool pants, wool scarf, wool hat, wool gloves, wool bag, and wool shoes . However I searched high and low in my closet, I DON’T OWN wool shoes! Sacrebleu!

Believe it or not I’m wearing this Merino wool skivvy on a 30 degree day. Kids, don’t try this at home. I’m a blogger after all, bloggers are professionals. Before you jump into the conclusion that I was born sweat-gland-less, let me remind you that it’s all credit to the knit. Merino is just super fine. I had to lose the wool gloves after the first photo though…If I haven’t convinced you about the super fibre enough, have a squiz here for some stunning designs and at the breathtakingly beautiful video below. Enjoy!
