I initially typed the date as 2015. Freudian as heck, in all KINDS of ways…
This last of our six paintings – have you like having these spread over six days? I’m finding it a very manageable system. I like having more time to spend on each wardrobe. Let me know how you feel, and I may adjust the posts for this theme accordingly.
So let’s revisit this most relaxing and elegant of images:
As much as these aren’t my favorite colors, I would be comforted to see these tops in my closet. That stack of four long-sleeved tee shirts never grows old for me…
If you’re never going to wear a dress or skirt, you will probably find yourself with a tidy assortment of pants!
I need to figure out why these assortments of accessories are always so pleasing to my eye. Hmm…
Same with shoes – having enough of the right shoes gives a feeling of comfort that’s hard to explain!
This is a heroine who does not like to stand out in a crowd! When she starts thinking about what she might want for holiday attire, she’s immediately drawn to the idea of something simple, classic, and black.
When she spots a black velvet top and matching pants, she’s sold! A rather splashy gold blouse is going to challenge her a little bit, but it’s so pretty and timeless that she risks it. A sweater vest will help bridge any of her shirts or t-shirts with velvet pants…
Of course she has new outfits in her shopping bag, wearing just the things that she purchased. But the real measure of something you buy is how well it incorporates itself into your existing clothes and accessories…
Eight possibilities here, although there are unquestionably more combinations possible:
While this sure isn’t my favorite wardrobe, I would take every last thing she bought in a New York minute!

p.s. Ten years ago, I pondered if one could describe themself as “more Renoir or Laurencin”? Arguably one of the hardest things I’ve ever done…

Janice, I definitely prefer these one at a time. So much less overwhelming.

I agree with lise. One wardrobe at a time is so much easier to process. Viewing one a day this week has been a real treat, although I’m sorry for the reason. Hope you’re starting to feel better.

I do like the one at a time idea, especially this far into the year. And it is a pleasure to have one every day for the first week, especially this week. Perhaps there could be five?
