Maxi Dress | Caveat Calcei

DAREcember Day 4.

The challenge…

Easy stuff.

I am myopic with no prescription sunnies. I have bad hair days in summer even with short, short hair.

Meet Kangol paper fedora – my new best friend.

Also the weather is still up to the usual early summer jiggery pokery. Take that – squeals the weather elf as she throws out a shaft of hot lunchtime sun and then pulls it back in in the early evening. Just as I start consider chucking on the flannel jammies (such an enticing peignoir) the heat grabs at the corners of the evening and digs in its wee nails.

So for a dress I play the conservative card, the safe card, the no one wil look at me funny card.

I bunged on a maxi dress.

A maxi dress is a good mix between –

Hallo sunshine my old friend…

and

Crivens, I need to get the toe nails polished pronto.

Brooches tomorrow.

Day 2 of Darecember brought with it the challenge of scarf wearing.

Once upon a time, a long time ago when I was (speaks into collarbone) a mwfffmwahhmffmmmm I had a lot of scarves and I wore them. Not so much now.

The scarf that I chose is one that my aunt and uncle in NY a wee while ago. It was made in India, of maroon silk with various silk ribbons threaded through it. It is long enough to wrap around as a skirt.

I tried wearing it as a sort of bolero.

I tried tossing it round my neck insouciantly.

I swore A LOT.

Finally I decided that the best thing to do was to wear it as a sort of fabric necklace and tried not to think too long and hard about the role that a long scarf played in the death of Isadora Duncan.
