often when i am prepping posts, i think about that (what should i call it?) trend on instagram to post the instagram version of something and the reality version of something. it isn't that i want to post blog versus reality (because that doesn't exist -- it is pretty much reality around here -- no bull grips, taping or pinning). what i think about posting is the lookbook version versus the my reality version. haven't done this yet -- even just privately. but i think about it often.

it has been some time since black clothing was such a mainstay in my wardrobe. it some ways, it feels like i have returned home after being away. in other ways, it feels like i have arrived at another new place.

there is wearing the clothes and then there is laundering the clothes. all i can say is i am glad i work out.

this jacket. i wanted it from the moment i saw it on the showreel. i wanted it when i saw it in the lookbook. i did not think it would come to me. but it did -- it feels like i was just in the right place at the right time.

i customized these trousers -- i felt like i needed to be much taller to carry off the weight and volume of an extra large cuff.  possibly sacrilegious to have done so. but it was either that or relegate them to a lonely life in my closet.  i loved them too much for that. i am very happy to be able to wear them.  my way.

p.s. when i wrote the caption above, on the tip of my tongue (or fingertips) was expressing that this was an incomplete outfit, that a piece of the puzzle was missing. i held back though. i remember wanting to write it and at the same time not wanting to write it. in light of what has happened since -- stay tuned for that post -- i have to wonder whether something was going on. sometimes things happen and i get goosebumps. goosebumps.
