Happy Monday, Style Nation. I am excited to see everyone's remixes, and I'm trying to quasi participate by wearing some of my favorite pieces that I've not worn yet this fall. I thrifted this skirt for a song in Vancouver back in 2006. It's too big, but luckily the belt and cardigan deal with this issue (the cardigan covers the lumps). And of course, wearing my wedding boots makes me pretty happy. This puppies need water proofing for the winter, though.
The tights and cardigan are brown, and I tried to edit the photo to show this, although I don't know if that's clear. I never wore brown based outfits before I met Blokey, just black. But he wears a lot of brown, and it matches his coloring and his 70s aesthetic preferences, so I jumped ship. And I think browns are can be really pretty and versatile, so I am pleased.
Yesterday, I went to a post-marathon party for a couple friends who ran the NYC Marathon, both around the 4 hour mark. I can't believe the dedication and sheer fitness of these amazing people. (This also makes me wonder: how are we even friends? I congratulate myself after slogging through 3 miles). Maybe someday I'll think about running a marathon, as S, the faster one, told me that women's abilities to engage in endurance activities often peaks in our 30s/early 40s. Who knew?
