Life is good for my dogs and me.
Just me and the four-legged children. The others have fled the nest — two in San Francisco, one in New York, and one in Portland.
I am currently at Number 1’s house in Portland. She is away, so I have taken over. Nice. So if you see me in a lot of different clothes…. well, I am borrowing from her closet!
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:
Cold and snow in Portland. Yeah… I think I’ll stay in.
So I logged into my zoom rhythm class and beat my bodrhan a bit. And I worked on learning the sequences for the latest module – shuffles and slides — it’s for my Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging class. I am still getting the hang of it — but then I started out not knowing ANYTHING! You can track my dancing progress HERE.
I also worked on my SOCK! I could hardly put it down. Learn more HERE. I LOVE this Self Striping Sock Yarn! Learn More HERE
Here’s what I came up with for today!
It started out with a button down knitted dress, that I think might be best worn as a duster , or open as a sweater. It is from Territory Ahead, and haven’t really worn it — mostly because as a dress, it doesn’t seem overly flattering.
Little black boots are GH Bass, but I got them from Goodwill — looks like they were never worn. Very Comfortable. And I like the laces.
I think I like the dress belted under this sweater… keeps it from looking all too blobby.
Photobombing by Rainey – Me and my dogs… or one of them. The other hides when I start taking photos!
Meh… I think I like the sweater open… Just Meh.
It is super comfortable, though. I borrowed a belt from Number 1, who is a lot smaller, so maybe… if I had a larger belt to go over the red dress….
Thanks for checking in and reading my dogs and me post. Comment below — do you like red dress open or buttoned?
