Organizing my clothes

[catherine]

Those are the kinds of things I would maybe buy and think I was going to wear and I never would. BDTD. I have learned just how conservative a dresser I am, despite the fact that I LOVE how others wear "art" in their clothing. I wish I could do it. Those Krista Larson outfits are beautiful. I personally just can't wear anything at all that I believe will call attention to myself. Thus, my "uniform" of Ann Taylor classics, which I don't think I will ever stray from at this point. One of these days, I might be more bold with jewelry or scarves because I think older people do well to at least attempt to draw attention away from the worn bits (faces, arms, etc.).

with Krista Larson designs, I think I have to be careful not to look like a clown. Not that I bought any of her stuff yet, but I might someday. I look for it used on eBay.

but anyway – looking like a clown – but then I think so what? Why CAN’T I look like a clown? Is there some law against looking like a clown? Haha

IL: I say go for it if you want to look like a clown! But be a lovely well-dressed clown!

Catherine: I too am quite conservative but in a more casual LL Bean kind of way. I've wasted a lot of money over the years on aspirational clothing for some other version of me to wear in a parallel universe or something.

aspirational clothing, yeah I think I’m in a an unfortunate phase of that. we shall see if it becomes reality or if these clothes hang in my closet with me thinking they are cool, I should really wear them and then never wear them.

Yeah, I have definitely leaned heavily into the LLBean aesthetic myself since I've stopped traveling for work. I like the term "aspirational clothing." In theory I love people who use their own frames as an art installation. I like being the white walls of the museum, personally.
