day 81 of #tracywearswool: times they are a changin’

#tracywearswool day 81 out of 100, and for me, the times are a changin’!

This whole dress thing has been a game-changer for me.  I am not quite sure exactly what I was thinking when I signed up.  I didn’t think it over that much.  Just saw an ad on Facebook… and thought ” how cool is that”.  I thought that the people I saw looked like people I would want to know.  Real people, from a hugely diversified group, all brought together by a single item: the dress.

And that was it. I was in.  Ordered the dress — which I named Woolamina — my iron-gray Rowena  And I haven’t regretted one moment of it.

Although the deal is — you photograph yourself in the dress and take a photo every day, and post on social media.  That seemed pretty easy… so I upped the ante.  I decided to write a blog post every day for the same 100 days — as a way to get back into a good blogging routine (OK… to start a good blogging routine.)

And along the way, I have started some other challenges, too…. entirely made up by myself — the 12 sweaters in 2021 knitting challenge, and an Appalachian flatfooting and clogging challenge — to become a dancer in 8 weeks.  I am currently working on sweater #4, and have a newfound appreciation and sense of humor regarding my dancing skills.

I feel centered, and grounded, and like I have accomplished some things during this incredibly strange time.   I have started listening to more audiobooks, and worked on personal growth.  I have made life changes, like cutting off two feet of hair, dancing every morning, and wearing a dress every day.

And, I think I have become a better me.

And today’s inspiration came from the following version of an old favorite:

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:

Another day in the 40’s with hail in the morning, but sun in the afternoon.  Crazy, changing every 20 minutes!

Knitting, singing, and blogging.   Had a little drumming and laughing out by the campfire tonight (socially distancing, of course.) Always good to connect with friends- old and new.

Since it was still chilly, I wore my Fleece Lined Leggings

and my favorite older-than-dirt wool boot socks with my Keens.

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!
