Every silver lining’s got a touch of gray.
But, really, that is what keeps it real. It’s not all black and white these days… but more mixed up … much more grayscale. Dare I say… shades of gray? Ok… maybe mixing it up a little too much. The important thing is that… we will get by. We will survive.
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:
Torrential rain through last night, and hail on the road trip to Portland. But it wasn’t too bad once I got here… chilly, and I had to go get out my wool socks, and throw on an extra sweater until the house heated up.
They guys were here working on the garden conversion — out with lawn, in with planter boxes and walkways. Super excited about this project. Can’t wait to plant the giant sunflowers and dahlias and nasturtiums in the planter box along the fence, and veggies and herbs in the rest!
Talk about a touch of gray for #tracywearswol! Gray dress, gray sweater, gray plaid shirt…. it is a good thing I love gray!!
This classic Pendelton shirt isn’t wool, though, but 100% cotton flannel. In the Pacific Northwest, that makes it a 4 seasons shirt. I just love the soft colors.
I had bare legs for a few days, but it is back to leggings and UGGS. I just opened up a new pair of leggings. Soft and buttery, and at $13, I’ll be ordering more!
Madewell pullover, lightweight, slightly a-line. Goes well with the Rowena, but it pretty much goes with everything.
Cross is from my mom, used to belong to Great Auntie Marge.
Thanks for joining me on my “touch of gray” post. Stay tuned for the next 45 days of #tracywearswool!

Be well, and learn something!
