Yes, thinking of clothing as expression rather than as a test that I haven't studied for or a job interview for which I'm not qualified, seems to be the key for me. Making _me_, rather than others, the motivator behind my clothing decisions. The puzzling bit is why this feels like a new thought, this late in life.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713094656031780936.post-25178955412254993952013-07-31T11:06:10.561-07:002013-07-31T11:06:10.561-07:00Vanessa!

I actually wore (gulp) a knee-length skirt that fit a couple of times, and then put on one of my usual designed-to-be-calf-length skirts, two sizes too big and designed for taller and narrower people and therefore essentially ankle length... and the image in the mirror bothered me.

I'm just baaaaarely becoming aware of current styles, much less wearing them. :) I did subscribe to Harper's Bazaar, recommended on the sewing forum that I read as a good source for fashion pictures that are current but that, unlike much of Vogue, you could actually see on the street. We'll see if that trains my eye or if it's untrainable.

I have always loved clothes, leading to (perhaps for different reasons) an equally "long and chequered" wardrobe, as Vanessa said.

I am very late 'coming to my senses' about clothes and have a long and chequered - and colourful - history of fashion faux pas.

I love food. Therefore, I take care of how much and what I eat. <br />As for clothes, I am seriously unable to copy current fashion styles. Not that they wouldn't work for me, it's just, I need more time to incorporate new type of style into my wardrobe and until it feels right, I Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713094656031780936.post-88525745562210875072013-07-01T20:06:59.578-07:002013-07-01T20:06:59.578-07:00"Perhaps there will be fashion posts in this ..."Perhaps there will be fashion posts in this blog..."<br />Not weird!
