Day 93 of  #tracywearswool, and the final countdown week. Yeehaa!

It seems to be that the t-shirt over the dress has become my uniform of sorts.  Kinda looks like a skirt.  And shortens it a bit.  I feel like it is more efficient, in a way, not so much fabric as wearing it loose.  And… super comfortable.

I have a confession to make.  I found another swing dress — 100% cotton– that I have been wearing with cotton leggings at a nightgown. Because I can jump out of bed and lounge around in it until I take my shower and get dressed in my challenge dress.  Eventually, I might just get another Rowena for sleeping!

Down to the bottom ribbing of Sweater #4: Love Note for Sarah — It’s part of my 12 sweaters in 2021 challenge. I just have to pick up and knit the sleeves, and put in a neck ribbing — the gold yarn is a provisional cast on and will go away.

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:

Just getting things wrapped up before I head to the coast!  I made a little movie with my photos today:

Wool socks, and my Keen Kaci Slides.

Ready to take on the day.

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!

 Day 92 of  #tracywearswool, and apparently, I can’t count.

There a couple of Wool&ers who started on the same day as I did — Innnaguration Day, January 20th.  And somehow I missed a post 2 or 3 days back… so this is it.  I dug the photos off the cloud… and originally, I was going to say something about how I wasn’t happy with the photos, and I goofed up… and blah, blah, blah.  All the negative junk that rolls around in our heads and tells us we aren’t the perfect creatures that we are.

But then I thought, screw it.  We all make mistakes now and then, so let’s be kind to ourselves.  Be happy with the result, no matter what.  Because, it is the process, not the result that is important.

So day 92 is a little out of order, but I don’t care.  I would rather sit in the garden and count the flowers….

This was somewhere in the hectic move between the Washington Coast, and arriving in Portland….. not sure exactly … but here goes!!

As Usual, Rainey is photobombing!

And I have on my favorite Keen Sandals.

Day 91 of  #tracywearswool, and hey! Where did the time go??

This challenge, for me, has been a giant experiment in trying new things.  It didn’t start out that way but has slowly evolved into an exercise in creativity.  I look at my clothes in a new way… and am starting to do clothes combining.

It is sort of like eating.  Some people eat serially — first the meat, then the potatoes, then the green beans.  And there are some people who eat of bite of one, then a bite of the other, and so forth.  Thirdly, there are the people who stack the fork.  I am falling into the third category, but with clothes.

So I look at what I have, and think ” should the shirt go over, or under the dress, should I add a vest, leggings, or a sweater… and in what order?” And I have been having fun, dressing in ways that suit my creative instinct, instead of what is the most flattering.

Best of all, I get to see what others in the group are doing, and it is a great source of inspiration.

Today, I couldn’t decide if the skirt should go under or over, so I played around with both.  You can decide!

Day 91 of #tracywearswool photobomber: RAINEY.  She’s got her own page, but she keeps photobombing on mine!  RAINEY’S STORY HERE!

What’s in store today:

It is a gloriously sunny day here in Portland Oregon, but I hear we have rain on the way.  Our garden beds are almost complete — I’ll post photos tomorrow.   I started doing a program called Miracle Morning... based on a book by Hal Elrod, and have been loving having a structured morning ritual.  I actually wake up before  5:30 am alarm rings –just to get started. More about  MIRACLE MORNING on my LINKS PAGE!

Rainey Dog doing her usual photobombing.

She wears diapers because she has Spina Bifida, which makes her very mobile, but fully incontinent.  And she is a total lovebug!

Day 90 of  #tracywearswool, and actually no need to send in the clowns… because they are already here!

Today I met up with Carolyn, and we had a great time!! I met her through another wool peep — who commented on my post — you have to meet my friend Carolyn.  Anyway, we hit it off, and she decided to join the challenge!!

I ordered her a Fugetek tripod  —like the one I use. Seriously, the best $20 investment for taking selfies!! And today, we met up on Hawthorn Street in Portland, to eat and do the hand-off. (For the most part, we wore masks, and just removed them to eat and take photos!)

What’s in store today:

Thai food lunch on Hawthorn, because the Greek coffee place in the double-decker bus was closed.  Lots of giggles, and great fun.  And a little clowning around. Check out the great tiara and wonderful shirt Carolyn is lending me for my 100th day photo!!

We ordered from the food cart, and sat outside under the covered patio.  

And… there is parking!!  Bonus!!  Carolyn had the Pad Thai and Thai Ice Coffee and was pretty happy.

Day 89 of  #tracywearswool. And I am in the mood for singing… and for Spring in the Pacific Northwest.

We have had some absolutely gorgeous days — up into the 80’s and then down into the 40s.  Crazy, so it is best to dress in layers in this neck of the woods.

Spring is sprung, the grass is riz, I wonder where the birdies is?

They are all out here in Portland.  Singing their songs, cheering us up.

Sing a Song is a great song by the R&B band Earth, Wind & Fire. It was released on the 1976 double live LP, Gratitude, and it spent two weeks at number one on the R&B singles chart.

And… it’s catchy! Have a listen:

And, Yay!! I found the clicker to my Fugetek tripod  —I thought I left it in Portland, but it found its way in my travel kit!!  Now, I have two… so I can leave on in the car for travel! Best $20 ever!

What’s in store today:

It’s a beautiful day, and we have a wonderful drive along the Columbia River to Portland, with a stop in Scappoose at the best Goodwill. And maybe the drive-through taco place!

I am starting to think of what to wear for my 100-day celebration outfit!!

Tutu and Tiara? Pearls and Chucks? Clown Barf? Out of my comfort zone??

We will have to see!!!

Day 88 of  #tracywearswool. What could be more perfect than this dress? Goes with everything.

It has been a crazy weekend – I have Number 1 visiting me up on the coast, and lots of guests checking in and out, a late poker night — where we played blackjack and ate pizza…. oh… and a fire broke out next door and we almost had to evacuate.  Whew.

Can’t wait to pick up my Fugetek tripod & clicker that I left in Portland.  It has been crazy trying to shoot photos without it.

But I have been digging making these little videos!!

What’s in store today:

Beautiful almost summer day… lots going on… knitting, and blogging, and hanging out at the beach!

I have had a lot of folks ask if the dress is hot — and the answer is DEFINATELY NOT HOT! It is a light weight, stretchy jersey knit… and actually quite cool.

Also — DOES NOT ITCH — which is question #2.
