I owe you and the amazing community you have built a huge debt. You have taught me so much, given me a bit more confidence to experiment and express myself, and helped me let go of some of my self-judgement. </p> <p>&nbsp;Today’s outfit is a demonstration of this. It makes me happy (COVID hair and all…) because:</p> <p>&nbsp;(1) I made the shirt. My Lockdown treat was an online Custom Drafted t-shirt pattern class. This is my first wearable result. It is the best fitting T shirt I own. I still have some tweaks, but have learned a tremendous amount – including some pesky fit issues I didn’t understand. A goal this year has been more thought and less consumption in all my habits. Sewing my own clothes will help on both fronts. My version of SLOW Fashion.</p> <p>(2) It is the first yellow thing I can remember EVER wearing. I fell in love with the fabric and bought some on spec, hoping DD would like it. She rejected it. So I thought – why not give yellow a try. Then I saw the green matched my Old Navy pants [(a) Wide Legs, b) Crops - two more &nbsp;of my YLF never-say-nevers ]. The concept of JFE (Just Flattering Enough) has been so liberating!&nbsp;</p> <p>I’ve named it my “When Life Gives You Lemons” shirt, in honor of what I am trying to make a philosophy of, staying positive and finding silver linings in these trying times.</p> <p>Angie – thank you for expanding my horizons and providing a safe and happy place in this world. Many happy returns.</p> <p>I am posting and running but will come back later today to enjoy everyone else’s tributes to Angie’s entering the next best decade. Much Love to all of you out there.</p> <p>(P.S. Just&nbsp;had&nbsp;to add the photo of my perfect end to topstitching &nbsp;at the back neckline for the&nbsp;sewists out there. I have to work on keeping even with the edge, but still #inordinatelyproud.)</p> </p>
