1 day spent with my leg propped up with ice on it, and the next day with an early morning orthopedics appointment! My knee is going to need a lot of therapy...

Part 2 October 2022: Six Scarves, 12 Months
October 5, 2022
What do you do if your planned color scheme needs to be edited in some way?
EDIT. Move on!
You'll notice that Ruskin's Meadow color scheme has received a necessary update...
Mauve was the request; mauve is the addition! It's interesting to see how 3 tops and a pair of earrings bring a very different look to this wardrobe:
It's all much brighter now, which means that our heroine has new options for getting dressed:
Her accessories are still mostly green, but she's now got those lovely pink earrings...
How might this heroine wear her new mauve tops?
Now on to what might be my favorite scarf, and is growing to be my favorite wardrobe!
I wore this scarf last week; it's ... View the Post

October 4, 2022
Good heavens, I forgot about yesterday! It was a pretty regular day - marled black and white tee shirt under my black dress, with my trusty stud earrings, and ballet flats when I wandered around the building...

Busy catching up with a million little projects, as well as our regular blog posts. It's really warm in our apartment today; we face east, and have huge windows - when it's sunny out, it's warm in, no matter what time of year!

Time to augment these wardrobes in some intelligent way!
If you build a wardrobe outfit by outfit, you'll eventually reach a point where you have plenty of "bottoms" but not really enough tops. Since tops are more memorable, usually need to be laundered more often, and provide more of the visual interest of your outfits, it's normal for most of us to have 2 tops (at least) for each bottom. Additionally, I like to have almost as many 2nd layers as I have bottoms.
Your feeling about this can certainly be different! But for our heroines, this is a month to stock up on things for above the waist:

1 Dress 100 Days: Days 30 and 31
October 1, 2022
I just got to type the word October! Hallelujah!!!
Yesterday, we road-tripped west a couple of hours to visit a LOVELY area call A Better Place Forest. It's for interring cremation remains - under trees! Brilliant...
And today, I'm mostly working. I will probably go out and wheel my mom around someplace pretty, when I get some things done... (chambray shirt is UNDER my magic dress today)
I'm still loving my dress; yesterday in the forest I managed to attract about 100,000 burrs, which I pulled off over a period of hours. No damage done - a quick hand-wash and we're all good!
love,
Janice
