Even though I'm not playing Red Riding Hood, I wouldn't mind conjuring her in "real life," with a red satchel like this one (I still carry a great schoolgirlish affection for satchels).
I'd wear Latvian mittens too, though probably ones more colourful than those pictured above.
Like these.
In fact, I'd knit a pair, but the one time I tried to knit mittens, I couldn't figure out how to make the thumb. So I ended up with pretty cuffs, which can actually be quite pleasant, like this pair below from Norway's Oleana.
One can be rather existential in Oleana . . .
Or quite cozy . . .

Thumbsnreally aren't hard. You can start the way I did -- google a vintage two-needle mitten pattern book and buy one off ebay.
Gorgeous pics here.
The Oleana sweater in blue and green would be such a fun thing to wear...
I am sure that there are patterns online for those mitts...free....there are many knitting sites where you can print the patterns.
I was lucky enough to watch a dress rehearsal before the world premiere of Into the Woods at the San Diego Old Globe. Gosh that was a long time ago....!
Just this very moment discovered your blog and love it. Your pairing of red and light blue alone gets you on my blog list. Nice to meet you!
I have such a satchel courtesy of The Cambridge Satchel Company, and in scarlet too. I'm ecstatic to be the owner of something chic enough to be on your blog Miss Cavendish.
