A Little Blog about Clothes and Craving, Post #3

[usedtobeljs]

We made it through January. For a while there, I wasn't sure I was going to.

We made it to Friday, too.

While I've got work to do, I thought I'd also link the Medium post I did yesterday on a sartorial craving. "The Craving, The Hunt" is what I call it.

Other than hunting for that piece and enjoying a sale item I purchased at the first of the year, I've started to work on culling clothes a little and organizing my ideas for packing for Cornwall in June. La la la!

Not much else is going on with me. I've started watching Slow Horses, the AppleTV series based on Mick Herron's spy novels. While as you know I am in general fond of spies, I will also say that these spies are not quite my kind, which is in fact their draw. I further will admit that Jack Lowden is cute and Gary Oldman, brilliant in the role of Jackson Lamb, is so unkempt and borderline disgusting that one can almost smell the character through the screen. ;)

Anything fun for you all? Sending hugs for the first days of February.

I have never heard this!: “Don’t wear again what you wore the first time around.” I think I lack the fashion appreciation gene.

Do you have a link to the lovely new skirt you bought? I'd love to see it.

The new skirt is actually more true olive than this image on my laptop, but here it is. Just a basic. :)

It's beautiful!

Good old John Lewis or rather the White Stuff.

Cornwall in June shouldn’t be freezing but could well be damp!

Many hugs back :)

Yes, Cornwall could be rainy in Jume -- I'll have to pack a rain jacket, because I do plan a few jaunts on the South West Coastal Path. :)

Hugs hugs, happy weekend, K!

I love olive green!

I think of you as a purple-and-green fancier! :)

I really enjoy your fashion essays - it's a vicarious pleasure, as I never learned any of that when I was young enough to use it.

Enjoy your new skirt! It's always fun to fulfill a quest.

Thanks, A, and hugs! I enjoy hearing about your craftiness, including sewing, because I can't do any of THAT. :)

Years ago my sister told me that you shouldn't wear a trend the second time around. I agree, as you get older it gets harder not to.

I'm glad you found your skirt!

[usedtobeljs]

I think that rule is outdated. Wear what you like. :)

Cheers for your week ahead, T!
