It was 100% humidity all day yesterday. We don't get that here. It felt like rain, but it never did. At least we did get a bit of rain this week, and supposedly will get some today or tomorrow. The garden looks so much better right now. It inspires me to work on it. Or at least think about working on it.
I had lunch with a friend, at an Indian cafe, and indulged in chicken vindaloo with naan, my favorite. Then we went to two shops on the other side of town, and looked at scarves and jewelry. The one store had a 20% sale, which we lucked into, and we came home with colorful, cheerful scarves. I love to happen upon things. When I deliberately go to a sale, I have no luck. And actually, I had to be flexible this time. I wanted to see the one shop because my friend had found a wonderful stitched scarf from India there. Those were of course all gone when I came, but I found some different scarves that I could see myself wearing. I am five feet tall, so most scarves look like bed sheets on me, and I have no neck, so draping something around is tricky. If I'm not careful, I find myself eating the scarf. It's challenging for me to think scarf. But yesterday I found one to go with my outfit for the wedding. Scarves are a level of dressing that I don't get to normally. I'm done after picking out earrings. Never get to necklaces, bracelets or scarves. It becomes too much effort, too much thinking. But occasionally I try. If there is something where I want to look extra nice, I figure it out the night before. That helps. And when I travel, I put things together a few days before I leave, add scarves and jewelry, and then am more likely to put it all on when I'm on the trip. But basically, I'm your ten minute gal. That includes brushing teeth, taking medicine, sunscreen, lip gloss, dress and plunk on the watch. Elegance is not achieved by such means.
