Sometimes, I just feel in a pinky mood.

It is one of my favorite colors and something that I love to wear.  It tickles me *pinky* whenever I find something pinky — that is the right pink. This one is a sophisticated pinky color.

You may be wondering why I am using that same word over and over in the same paragraph.  Well, I will tell you.  I am a blogger, and it helps with my page’s SEO ranking to have the keyword in the title, and in the first paragraph… and also throughout the page.  With better ranking, my page will show above a lot of others if people are searching for things.   This is just something I do, working from home… along with some other things. You can see more HERE!

But, I really do like pinky, and was thrilled to find this pinky shirt.  I also have a pinky button on my vest…. it is from one of my very favorite yarn shops CLOSE KNIT in Portland.

For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool&  —  Same dress.  100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.

What’s in store today:

Today is dancing class! And boy, did I have fun.  I am starting to get the hang of it….

The rest of the day is photos, knitting, playing with the dogs, walking to the beach, and  making videos of my dancing for my  page on Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging

Here’s what I came up with for today!

Some of you may know, I am a full-time RV dweller, and I  live on the beach in a fabulous privately owned RV park — The Lamp Camp, in Long Beach, Washington.

Just like to mention that occasionally, because the folks who own the place are super nice and wonderful!

As part of the challenge, I will be posting my daily outfits on blog posts as well as social media with the hashtag #tracywearswool — please follow along — and see all the creative outfits that I can come up with!

I truly think that time is on our side — it is how we use it that counts.

I have enjoyed a lot of time, and I have wasted a lot of time.  And I guess it is what you do with it.  Some things seem like you are wasting time — when really they are super important — like daydreaming, relaxing, and socializing.

For me it is more about making time.  How much time can I make to be with family, or can I make to exercise… or can I make to sit down every day and write a blog?  How much time can I make to go to church, or read, or knit? 

This 100 day dress challenge is, in a way about making time.  But streamlining my wardrobe… I should have more time to do other things… right?? Well… not necessarily true.

I find that I actually spend more time.  Because I think about it more, and I put more effort into it.  But everything I do around my wardrobe choice – my OOD is intentional. I am not just throwing on whatever I find to wear.

I find that I have made more time for me.

More time taking care of myself.  More time doing things that make me feel better.  More time pushing the boundaries for what is comfortable — taking selfies every day, and opening up to new people I am meeting — who are also doing this.

And I am taking more time with my appearance.  I shop at Goodwill a lot, and think — will this go with the dress? I am looking at and wearing, jewelry, accessories, and shoes that I have had for years, and not worn.  I’m even wearing makeup… and thinking about cutting my hair!

And… I am donating (more trips to Goodwill) items that are not in alignment with the new me.

So I may not be approaching this in the purely minimalist way that some people are… and I think that is ok.   We all have our own reasons.

But, I am liking who I am becoming. And I am having  TON of fun.

What’s in store today:

Back at the beach, where it is windy as all get out!  And squalls keep rolling in.  I was happy to get some dry time for my photos.

I’ll practice my dance sequences, and cook some salmon for dinner.  Knit– I’m on the second sweater for the year — out of my planned 12!  Maybe a little raking and gardening.

Here’s what I came up with for today!

Some of you may know, I am a full-time RV dweller, and I  live on the beach in a fabulous privately owned RV park — The Lamp Camp, in Long Beach, Washington.

 It is nestled between the coastal forest and the dunes of the Pacific, has the world’s longest beach, and there is a pretty cute town here, too!

Flowers — I have a weakness for button down shirts with flowers on them.

So today, I had to take my car in for her 6 month service.  I was going to wait.. .mostly because I thought it was only going to be about an hour long.  They said they would call me.  I wanted to avoid sitting for the whole time in the waiting area. 

Low and behold… right across the street… was the Halsey Goodwill.   So, I marched on over to see what the story was.

Personally, I like going on Wednesdays… because I get the older person discount.  And because I already have a lot of clothes…. trying to pare down — I decided to only buy clothes from the “color of the week” the price tags are different colors, and color of the week gets half off  Today was blue.

I tried to show some restraint, really I did.  I ended up putting back about half of the things I had originally picked out — mostly because I had something like that at home.  But really… who can resist a nice spring Ann Taylor skirt –for $3.50….Spring is just around the corner! And…I can wear it on top of Woolamina, paired with a cardigan!

What’s in store today:

Van in to be serviced,  which means a couple of hours with books on Audible!  Still listening to Pema Chodron’s Don’t Bite the Hook — and loving it! 

Goodwill!!

Then pretty much lay low — that 2nd dose of the vaccine has left me a little achy!

Here’s what I came up with for today!

Rainey, of course, photobombing agian.    And she is wearing her pink hoodie.  I think I have to order her another one… so soft and washes up well.

I got my little shot of glory today, but not in the traditional sense — it was my second dose of the Corona vaccine!

I can say that the people giving those shots at the Oregon Convention Center are angels.  Personable and chatty, but efficient and quick with the business at hand.

Happy to have it done with.

What’s in store today:

A little driving — over to Portland, which means a couple of hours with books on Audible!  Currently listening to Pema Chodron’s Don’t Bite the Hook — and loving it! Hopefully I’ll be about to squeeze in a little dancing later this afternoon,   a li some music-making, and knitting tonight… that is.. after my shot of glory the convention center!

Here’s what I came up with for today!

Rainey, of course, photobombing.  That’s her pink bed in the background, from Ikea.  And she is wearing her pink hoodie.

The Dude is hiding in the other room – but he has his black one on!

This post has almost nothing to do with the iconic album Silk Degrees, except that I love this skirt so much it makes me want to do a “leet-le” shuffle!

Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.  Must have been the Harbor Lights… What Can I Say? Alright… now that We’re Alone…I can get down to business.  What Do You Want the Girl to Say?

After all the groans are over, I would really like to show you the #OOD (outfit of the day) that I have put together… using this great skirt from Darn Good Yarn.

You can check them out HERE

Different lengths and a wide range of sizes — from teens through goddess!

I always thought this longer one was to dressy,  but it works well over my Woolamina!  Here are some ways I dressed it down:

What’s in store today:

A little dancing,  a little blogging, some music-making, and knitting… all with a little silk degrees in the background!!

Here’s what I came up with for today!

I personally LOVE the iridescent copper color — although it was hard to capture in the photograph.  Would be super great dressed up as well.

I should have paired the skirt with the Shirt & the Vest!  Would have been perfect for colder days. 

And the vest would provide the necessary pockets for phone and keys!
