I had found a really nice piece of wool that was black based but not plain black.
I could wear black every day. I wear dresses everyday. This breaks it up a bit. I read an article about a creative woman who bought herself a uniform so she had an easier time feeling put together at work, white blouse, black slacks.
I realized my a-line dresses are very much the same. It has been something I have unconsciously done for a long time just changing the uniform. Dresses mostly. Different lengths at times. As I have gotten older, I do this more. Find a group of clothes or a single style that is most comfortable. Currently, a-line dresses. Just under the knee. Sleeves. No sleeves. These might be around for awhile. I do enjoy not tripping over my hems.
I break these up a bit with sheaths. They feel a little bit dressier and even more classic. I also do not trip over my hems in these.
I was really tired of tripping over hems. My last frontier dress I made shorter then normal because I was so tired of tripping. I really like it. Now, if I could just find some more lovely flannel. I think it will be next fall before that happens. I do feel a bit babbly today. Oh well.
