true story (spoiler alert: it is not all that interesting in any way). i wore this outfit to a holiday lunch with one of the "teams" that i belong to.  in the restaurant, we were seated at a table that had a banquette on one side of the table and chairs on the other. i elected (not exactly sure why) to sit on the banquette. and not at the end of the banquette, but in the middle. which meant that it had to slide, not only myself, but also my volumes of clothes along the banquette. at that exact moment i realized that a banquette and wearing volumes of clothes are not compatible. next time that i am wearing volumes of clothes (and, let's face it, when am i not) and have to chose between sitting in the middle of a banquette and a chair, i will opt for sitting on the chair (good view of the other diners in the restaurant be damned). happy new year to all! thanks for stopping (or continuing to stop) by.

i have also been fond of khaki (army) green. also forest green. this green i thought a bit too bright for my liking ... to wear. as it has turned out, i can't get enough of this green ... to wear. (i just snapped up another skirt and dress in this colour -- i can't resist a good sale.) i am now ready to add this green to the other greens that i have a fondness for. (now what exactly is this green? emerald green? apple green?)

this is a very "uniform-ey" look, no?

if i were to rank the rundholz spring/summer clothes that i have acquired this spring/summer, in terms of their "feels-like-i-am-wearing-nothing" quality, this dress would come in first (or second, just behind this overall).

fashion has an interesting relationship with time. some fashion is clearly connected to a moment in time. some fashion is described as timeless. some say that the goal of fashion is to keep advancing. sometimes those advancements are inspired by things past. as much as i love to wear the latest rundholz collections, i also have many favourite pieces from past collections. when i bring out these favourites amid the new, i find that they feel just as new as the new. but in a different way.

there is nothing that i like more than simple dressing on warm (or hot) days. simple dressing to me means a dress and jacket. the dress alone works well outdoors. and the dress and jacket work well indoors (air conditioning and all).

on the day that i chose to wear this, i had an event to go to in the evening that called for a "business elegant" dress code. not knowing what that meant, i did what everyone else would do in the circumstances. i googled "business elegant". i learned two things from this little exercise: first, that "business elegant" is "cocktail attire with professional standards applied". and, second, that i would definitely be trying to kid someone if i thought that i had anything in my closet that looked remotely like anything in the images that came up for the search term "business elegant". so, as i always do when faced with any of the many customary dress codes that pop up on invitations to events, i picked the closest thing to "business elegant" that i had in my closet, put it on and strutted my stuff.

how many times can i fall in love? when it comes to rundholz clothes, the answer is: time and time again. i put on these trousers and i fell in love with them ... immediately. i put on this blouse and i fell in love with it ... immediately. i put on the top and ... you guessed it ... i fell in love with it ... immediately.

the jeans

i waited ... and waited ... and waited.  and finally they appeared. "my" jeans. and not just once but twice! i guess good things do come to those who wait! (this is the first pair of "my" jeans that appeared.)

i once had this discussion, in a clothing store, about what superpower i might want to have. i think all participating in the discussion agreed that i should have the ability to turn a piece of clothing any colour that i wanted it to be on any particular day. one day black, another day wine, another day dark blue ink, and so on and so on.

a window on the past outfits

all of a sudden it was really cold again. and i wanted to feel like i was wrapped in a big cosy warm blanket. so i reached for some old winter favourites ... and a new one that, while new, felt so very familiar.
