tunics for the winter?

I don't know what it is about the fabric store that brings out the crazy colors and prints in me!  Stick me in a shopping mall and I am immediately drawn to beautiful -but neutrally colored- clothing.  Stick me in the fabric store and you would think I was sewing cruise wear!  But what can you do?  So this is what I have been working on today.  The top, itself, is only missing a hook-and-eye (my least favorite thing to sew!) but I don't think I am done quite yet.  I bought some thin but fuzzy fabric called "minkee" that is normally used on things like baby blankets.  My thought is that I can sew a detachable lining that will button into this top...this way I could wear it over the Christmas holiday, since I will be in England where I have no appropriately warm wardrobe!  And then I can also bring a little color to the English countryside :)
