Capsule wardrobes inspired by art and nature
Did you take that photograph of all of your jewelry yet? And email it to yourself?
Someone I know was recently the victim of a very thorough burglary, and of course, her jewelry is gone. Insurance insists on seeing photographs or receipts before replacing.

Yes, they're expensive. Buy them anyway, put them in your bag, and at the first sign of a "hot spot" on your feet, apply said bandages to the clean and dry foot.

This book has all kinds of interesting suggestions in it! One of the things that the authors do is to take a simple garment and suggest seven different ways to wear it. Now bear in mind, some of these are not necessarily something you or I might wear, but they are thought-provoking, and that has some value, right?

I'm fighting the beginnings of a cold - FOUR DAYS before leaving on vacation. (isn't that the way of it, sometimes?) But through the Lem-Sip fumes, I had one intelligent thought:
One theory about why we don't see a lot of stunning women; generally speaking, human posture is pretty poor. Having taken ballet lessons for a few decades (my parents had high hopes), I couldn't slouch if you put an 80 pound backpack on me, but that's certainly not the rule anymore. Decades ago, a young man I was dating was absolutely CONVINCED that I was a trust-fund baby, largely because of my posture. Who knew: posture makes you look wealthy?
