Description
Color, proportion, texture. Not everyone wants to think about getting dressed as a creative act, but the elements that combine to make a satisfying visual presentation are the same whether you’re talking about a painting or the clothes on your back. And similar to creating a work of art, the feelings and goals behind the work may not be the same as what’s felt by observers.
☆
I’m not sure how many people look at this combo and thing "sexy," but it sure feels that way to me—wrinkles and all. Perhaps because it’s so reliable, I can throw these clothes on and rush out to catch the bus (as I did the morning of this photo) knowing I’ll be comfortable and happy all day. So yeah, a big part of being sexy to me is about keeping things gentle and letting them be easy.
☆
And when I take a look in the mirror I’m also happy with what I see. I really like the fresh + cozy vibe these fabrics give off and the way the colors and textures play so nicely together. Another big part of feeling sexy for me is connected to feeling at home in my clothes and loving the way they work with my body.
☆
Do you have certain feelings you try for when getting dressed? Creative? Quiet? Interesting? Curious to hear how you know when something you're wearing "works" for you.

My wool Babaa days may be drawing to close soon here in the PNW, but still enjoying right now while I can. My Babaa’s are a warm hug for me in this weird time when there’s not much person-to-person hugging happening. A security blanket of sorts, draping over my vital areas and bringing some comfort. 🌱

Paired here with that olive beauty from notperfectlinen and christydawn boots for an easy WFH outfit. Three of my favorites!

It’s a busy day for me over here: a therapy appointment (yep, a therapist who sees a therapist! So important!) along with attending a friend’s dance performance and afterward watching another friend conduct a concert! Feeling lucky to have artistic and creative friends. ❤️

That being said, the red linen holiday dress I mentioned in stories won’t be ready to post until tomorrow! Check back in then for details...gonna be a cute one I believe.
