Blinded by the light pretty much is when the sun comes out in Portland, Oregon. If you have ever seen the show Portlandia… you know what I am talking about. Any amount of sunlight is cause for great jubilation… and a chance to break out sunglasses and lawn chairs.
And today — yes, we got some sun! Halleluiah!!
For those of you just joining…I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my residential choice.
What’s in store this week:
I’m in Portland, Oregon on for a few more days, before heading back to the coast. Today, I banged my drum a bit, and sold another drum at the drum store. so I am 2/2 of for the daily practice. I picked up some art supplies for Figuary — where you draw figures for every day of the month — and hope to start that challenge.
And I laced up my leather soled oxfords and started the first momdule of the Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging class. I’ll practice everyday (and i really need to practice ) and then show up at the zoom class on Saturday and see how I do. Maybe, I will video my feet at some point. Since I have absolutely no pride whatsoever about my dancing abilities…. it should be fun, and not too humbling
Speaking of the light.. do you think Valentine’s Day is too late to take the last of the lights down?
Here’s what I came up with for today!
The Details:
Super soft, 100% cashmere sweater by Adrienne Vittidini — a wonderful gift from my Daughter The Chef. DTC has impeccable taste in gifts… and we ALL love that!
Back of the sweater is ribbed.
Woolamina, covered with the sweater, and a funny little scarf that I picked up at a thrift store.
Sterling hand stamped earrings were from a shop in Arizona.
Boots are my go to by Hunter!
I ended up throwing on my gap coat on top — the one I had in yesterday’s post. It worked well with the scarf. And Number 1 and I , after much research, believe ourselves to be autumn color types.
Rainey Approved!!

day 93 of #tracywearswool: final countdown
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...
day 92 of #tracywearswool: counting flowers on the wall
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...
day 91 of #tracywearswool: brown eyed girl
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...
