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 starting to do clothes combining.

It is sort of like eating. Some people eat serially — first the meat, then the potatoes, then the green beans. And there are some people who eat of bite of one, then a bite of the other, and so forth. Thirdly, there are the people who stack the fork. I am falling into the third category, but with clothes.

So I look at what I have, and think ” should the shirt go over, or under the dress, should I add a vest, leggings, or a sweater… and in what order?” And I have been having fun, dressing in ways that suit my creative instinct, instead of what is the most flattering.

Best of all, I get to see what others in the group are doing, and it is a great source of inspiration.

Today, I couldn’t decide if the skirt should go under or over, so I played around with both. You can decide!

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 is a gloriously sunny day here in Portland Oregon, but I hear we have rain on the way. Our garden beds are almost complete — I’ll post photos tomorrow. I started doing a program called Miracle Morning... based on a book by Hal Elrod, and have been loving having a structured morning ritual. I actually wake up before 5:30 am alarm rings –just to get started. More about MIRACLE MORNING on my LINKS PAGE!

Dress over the skirt, or skirt over the dress?

Honestly, before the challenge, I wouldn’t think of either. But now, I am looking at things differently.

It is so much fun.

In the end, I went with the skirt over. For a nice sunny day, this cotton skirt by FLAX was still nice and cool over the dress. Today, I went without leggings…

And, my favorite Keen Sandals.

She wears diapers because she has Spina Bifida, which makes her very mobile, but fully incontinent. And she is a total lovebug!

I’ve had this skirt in my closet for quite some time, but haven’t really worn it. Maybe once. But I really like it with the dress…. and I think it will be great with my Sierra.

And these are my new glasses!

Thanks for joining me on day 91 of #tracywearswool.

Stay tuned for the next 9 days!

Be well, and get out there and clown around.
