tracywearswool day 63 out of 100 — just loving my Woolamina
I never thought I would love her this month. I was skeptical in the beginning… I mostly wore pants… 95% of the time… and she was, well, a dress. But all relationships require compromise — so I have gotten to be a “dress” person, and she doesn’t care what I wear with her. And the nice thing about the iron-gray Rowena — everything goes with it. So, for us, it works marvelously.
I am starting to become a makeup and hair person. That is definitely new — and I like to think an improvement. I don’t necessarily want to look all made up…. but maybe not look older than I am. That works for me!
But I still reserve the right to have messy hair and hiking boots with my dress! Just I case I do want to go down on the corner!
I am kind of excited about getting my reward dress — going for sleeveless for the summer.
And not surprising — some of us are a LOT alike. Nice when that happens. Finding a group of people you connect with. This is so much more than 100 days.
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:
It was a rainy day in Portland, And I hung around the house, inside, dancing, and writing, and playing music in an online jam in the evening.

It’s my utilitarian uniform today… with a twist. Thais chambray Old Navy chambray shirt goes with everything, and mostly, Woolamina. I have also worn it buttoned and belted…. both looks work.
Show stealer is my Taylor Mini GS. It is the perfect size for me….3/4 adds lots of portability. And it doesn’t skimp on sound, just because she’s smaller.
She can hold her own in any jam.
Other MUST-HAVES for jamming, are the
TOE SOCKS always add a little snap to any outfit.
I like to drive my kids crazy by wearing socks with sandals. For some reason… it angers them to see it!
I think these came from Target in the $3 section.
Thanks for joining me on
day 63 of tracywearswool.
Stay tuned for the next 37 days!

Be well, and make some music… or dance a little!
