Wardrobe of the Week: April 30 – May 6, 2023

May 7, 2023

A doctor appointment, a couple of long walks through the city and a couple more long walks through the parks near our home to admire the flowers. Maybe next week, with the promised arrival of warm weather, I will wear more linen and less wool… Not that I don’t like wool in warm weather – it’s surprisingly comfortable…

love,
Janice

    Thank you Janice! I love the instagram photos of your neighborhood. Looks just beautiful. Love the purple and teal. Have a good rest of your weekend, looking forward to tomorrow. Still looking back at Friday’s post. The Renoir growing on me ;)

    Those shoes don’t look comfortable enough for long walks. Are they the shoes you walk in? I have owned dressier shoes that I could walk in for hours, but lately (in this millennium) I haven’t found any that worked well.
    Thanks!

      I can walk miles in the moccasins – they have no support, but I need room in my shoes more than support! My arthritis in my left foot takes up some space, so loose or low-cut shoes (like the ballet flats) are best right now.

      I’m getting a shot in my foot soon, so things may change! The summer will mean that I will wear Abeo sandals almost every day…

      hugs,
      Janice

      I have a teal wool tee shirt from Wool& – I love their clothes – and the color is a new favorite! Change is good…
      hugs,
      Janice
