Yet Another Week Of The Reckoning!

voltee ♦ January 17, 2011 ♦ 4 Comments

I have struggled with the decision to reckon again, since I have only posted two new pieces this week. But in the end I felt like I needed to, since I did make a bit of a vow at the beginning of the year. And since I’ve already broken one vow this week, I figured I should stick to something.
On with the show!
First up is another LBD (here). And this is a hard one. It’s such a comfy, cozy dress, and yet sexy as well. These pictures are, I think, some of the very worst I’ve ever taken. And yet 71% voted for it to stay. But I am not feeling such love for this, at the moment. I think I have to ignore the masses, and let this one go. We have had some wonderful memories, but it’s time to part. I think.
Now, a gem (here). I love this sweater. I mended it with my own two hands, gently and lovingly, and I cannot part with it yet. And 85% agree, so that’s that. Oh and Angelica? Surprisingly, it is legal to have wine on the Metro North, so we are not all lawbreakers! That night.
Next, a hard one (here). The first dress Nate ever bought me. No, I haven’t worn it in years. No, I’m not sure if it will fit. But no, I can’t get rid of it. Nate says that I can wear it in India some day. So it stays, but I’m moving it to the costume closet. Which, incidentally, is getting quite large.
And, a tee (here). So here’s a weird thing. I keep getting hits from this tee, and I’m not sure why. There are many searches for “Sarula” and also “Black Widow Honey”. I have tried to figure what this is all about and I still do not know. Can anyone fill me in, please? I don’t think I can make a judgement on this until I know what this is.
Now (here). My plaid jacket. I wanted to love this- truly I did. But, alas, it just never quite happened. When words such as “hoe down” are mentioned in conjunction with my clothing, I feel it is time to say goodbye. So…goodbye, Equus jacket.
Well. (here) I don’t even know what to say about this dress. This is one of those really truly difficult decisions. There is no way in God’s green earth this this is ever going to make it onto my person again. But do I have the fortitude to toss it? I’m not sure that I do. It’s just so historical. Probably the second most historical piece of clothing I have. The first being about to come to light at some point during this week. I think I have to let this go. But not to a stranger. Is there a good home anywhere who might find a use for this little dress? Otherwise, maybe it goes into the costume closet. Which is quickly becoming the apparel version of pleading the fifth…
Next, a tunic (here). I have become a bit infatuated with this again snce I wrote about it. Perhaps it was the Beatles reference, which I totally get, Maria, or mabe the Monty Python talk. But I am very fond of this again, even though I haven’t worn it yet. I feel that I will. Also, 75% voted for it to stay. I concur.
Oh, this sweater (here)! I love this. I love the neckline, and the bow. I think I will try it with a tube top under, as per Liz. If it still itches me, then I have to get rid of it. But that seems like it should work…probation!
Now, a blouse (here). Not a single person voted to toss this. And I did wear this to the MAC Christmas party and felt fab in it. Plus there is the Spain in it now…I keep this. Si. PS- Annie, you looked pretty great at the party too!!
Last, but not least (here). My golden skirt. Yes, this does bring to mind work parties and allergic reactions. But also I think of Degas, which is nice. And on an unrelated thought, I want to wear this in France. So it has to stay at least until I make it there. Keep.
Those are my ten items for the weekend. I’m getting caught up! This week will bring a profusion of writing, I declare. I cannot wait!
