jesse_the_k: Those words with glammed-up Alan Cummings (Drama queen)

Thanks to [personal profile] sara, I watched some excellent Baroque chamber music. The performers, as is customary in the U.S., wore formal clothing: a black suit with white shirt and black tie; a black floor-length dress. All performers wore matte black face masks. Which raises a vital question -- how should we coordinate our mask colors with the rest of our outfits?

two questions )

what I wore spread out on my bed, described below

The key is dressing for it. On my bed are all the things I wore over standard underwear. Having recently lost weight simplified things, since I had several sizes to hand.

aqua wool blend compression socks underneath
pink wool blend ski socks inside
Keen "40 below" tan insulated boots
red wool long underwear underneath
gray wool flannel, poly lined trousers
orange cotton long sleeve crew neck underneath
black wool long sleeve crew neck "base layer" underneath
gray wool-acrylic crew neck sweater
very light weight black polypro balaclava underneath
purple microfleece tube gaiter underneath
ink blue faux fur hunter hat with ear & neck flaps down
windblock pink fleece butt length coat with integral hood pulled over my head underneath
black leather knee length cape

What I didn't wear: my glasses--my viewport was only 8 inches wide by 2 inches high, and they'd be immediately frosted.

I’ve been data & stuff gardening which is very soothing

jesse_the_k: Feet in piano keyboard socks and black patent leather flats (shoes are key elements)
I'm a shoe person. Up North I discovered why sensible people have been wandering around in thick socks and sandals for the last few decades.

It's wicked comfortable. Happy toes, feet that breathe, and yet cozy. I always wear compression hose: a lively pair of thin wool socks on top makes for heaven.

Do you wear socks & sandals? To what temperature? Even in the rain?

Adaptations by Adrian makes outerwear designed for us. I've had two of their capes, and they're wonderful. The capes are custom made, so you can make sure they're short enough to clear your wheels or long enough to cover your back bag. details )

I just filled one with summer hats, and reseeded the rack with my winter hats. It's such a thrill to see my lovely wool hats; I didn't realize how much I'd missed them.
Ho hi heee β€” what about a poll? )
