We took a walk down to the Art Institute - always a joy to the soul! It's a perfect autumn day...

The problem is actually in my back, but the pain is in my knee? I'm not a doctor...

Our weather has finally gotten consistently cool, so I think that I will be wearing lots of black tee shirts or turtlenecks under my dress - sort of like wearing a black long-sleeved dress. Lots of 2nd layer possibilities!

love,

Good heavens, I forgot about yesterday! It was a pretty regular day - marled black and white tee shirt under my black dress, with my trusty stud earrings, and ballet flats when I wandered around the building...

Busy catching up with a million little projects, as well as our regular blog posts. It's really warm in our apartment today; we face east, and have huge windows - when it's sunny out, it's warm in, no matter what time of year!

I'm not sure that we're going to make it out of the building today; everyone is tired, and we have plenty to do at home!

I just got to type the word October! Hallelujah!!!

Yesterday, we road-tripped west a couple of hours to visit a LOVELY area call A Better Place Forest. It's for interring cremation remains - under trees! Brilliant...

And today, I'm mostly working. I will probably go out and wheel my mom around someplace pretty, when I get some things done... (chambray shirt is UNDER my magic dress today)

I'm still loving my dress; yesterday in the forest I managed to attract about 100,000 burrs, which I pulled off over a period of hours. No damage done - a quick hand-wash and we're all good!

love,

Janice

 

 

 

p.s. Four years ago, I filled in what were (to me) some pretty big gaps ... View the Post

I worked quite a bit on Wednesday, and then went out to lunch on Thursday. Getting dressed both days was so easy, and it's delightful to be able to wear my scarves so much!

love,

I'm sorry - this is the only post I will have today. Being sedated on Monday made it impossible for me to do anything useful or constructive for most of the day! I don't remember ANYTHING before about 8 p.m.... Kind of scary, but everything went well; preventative medicine is an adventure, isn't it?

Two more days wearing my dress, both days with a tee shirt underneath. I do NOT remember getting dressed after my test on Monday; I suspect that putting on tights was not a lot of fun...

love,

Janice

Yesterday, I got my flu shot, so I wore my wool shirt and a scarf over my dress; the pharmacy staff needed easy access to my arm!

And today, I'm prepping for a medical test tomorrow, so I'm just going to nap as much as I can...

Still comfortable, still liking my dress. I'm surprised...

Yesterday, I spend a HUGE portion of the day sitting at my desk (in The Vivienne Files International Headquarters - aka our bedroom!), catching up on things and working on Monday's blog post.

It's cool in Chicago, and I mostly wanted to wear something soft and cozy - hence I FINALLY have a chance to wear my sweatshirt from 4 Objects. It is a thing of beauty...

love,

Janice

p.s. I'm surprised that I'm not at all bored with this project; I'm actually thinking that my long-term wardrobe could be nothing more than "columns of black" with 2nd layers... So easy!

One very warm day, one very cool day! But my wool dress is suitable for both...
