Clothes Feelings 2.
I've always really enjoyed outfit posts- I love seeing what other people are wearing and why. I just want to talk about how clothes make me feel. Join me if you’d like!
Ode to this dress, my second skin four summers running. I bought it with a fallen hem and a crusty stain (sorry) and every intention of turning it into a quilt, but by some whim I put it on (after a wash, always after a wash) and I’ve hardly taken it off since. In the good old days this dress was thick and scratchy, the kind of linen that reminds you it was once a stem. Years of wash and wear have turned it soft, almost silky. The dye is faded. I’ve repaired most of the seams and copied this dress two times over- as a jumpsuit, a wool vest. Eventually I’ll trace a pattern for it and make its replacement. I thrifted this shirt for fabric as well, but instead wound up hemming it, swapping out the buttons and wearing it. It has a big coffee stain on the front, so until I sew a patch over it I’ve been wearing it under things.
My earrings are heavy glass beads.
My shoes are old.
Everything about this ensemble fits me the way I like things to fit and I feel completely myself in it.
