Last meal... Last outfit...

I've started a new book. It begins with this girl's last day ever to wear clothes of her own choosing. She chooses a hand-me-down robe that's super comfy and sentimental. It just got me to thinking what my own 'last outfit' would be...

For sure my last meal is foie gras and a glass of Chateau d'Yqem. Not so sure about the outfit tho... I don't know that I have sustained cravings for any garment in that manner. Or if there is anything I'd miss wearing quite like that. I mean, when I wear a thing out, I do toss it... Interesting to think about tho. How 'bout y'all?

Hmm, such an interesting question. I would probably pick something that reminded me of my family just like your character so it wouldn't be fashionable. I would put on a university logo tee from my DD underneath a different university logo sweatshirt from my brother, I would wear a baseball visor belonging to my DS, my DH jeans, jewelry given to me by my mother - specifically the earrings and necklace she had made out of the wedding ring she wore while married to my dad. If I could manage to get it on over everything, I would wear my step fathers favorite green jacket and my dads warm gloves even if they made it cumbersome to eat. It would be an odd, comfy, large, baggy, and colorfully mismatched outfit that would make me very happy.

Interesting question. I wonder what would be the ONE thing I'll miss wearing if I could no longer choose my own clothes. I suspect it maybe similar to the girl's choice - a comfy T-shirt and loungewear shorts! Nothing is more comfortable!

I am very intrigued by the book Rachy. What is happening? I might try and run away if I was her. I don't like to be told what to do. Is she getting married, going to jail, boarding school...

Okay on to your question. I would wear very comfy clothes as well that express who I am. Jeans, T shirt, leather jacket, Frye boots, scarf and silver cuff. Also amber earrings.

I would have a good coffee and go to the health food store for lunch. I love their food.

Then I would run away. With Sophie.

Wow, what a thought. I think that I would wear my most fab outfit that made me feel the prettiest. Today that would be a brick red riding skirt and crop jacket with black riding boots. I really like how I look and feel in that outfit.

Why is she losing her ability to pick out her own cloths? Jail, convent? boarding school? Inquiring minds want to know.

Meal-- prime rib with au jus, salad tossed with vinaigrette, great fries with ketchup, homemade bread.

Outfit-- my uniform: bootcut jeans, layering tee, hoodie or flannel shirt, leather jacket, leather belt, boots, and a ball cap or beanie-- studs and a watch, plus my St. Michael pendant.

Hmm, am I on death row or about to become a monk? If I am about to die pajamas and a bottle of wine. If I am becoming a monk, well, the same.

Shevia, that's great!

Last meal: tomato sandwich with homegrown Brandywine on sourdough with mayo, and iced coffee.

Last outfit: well, something really comfy. I guess I don't care.

Eeps! Sorry, lyn!!! 8o

The book is called, The Jewel (I think). A teen version of Margaret Atwood's Handmaid's Tale. It's all about the return of feudalism and social engineering. The set up is... 'the Jewel' is the proverbial ivory tower (gated suburb) where the lucky live. The poorest of the poor are serfs, property. This girl is picked (she's auctioned off) to go serve (be a surrogate) in the Jewel (be a house slave/whipping boy), and she'll never get to leave, see her family again, etc. etc. Life will be cushier in someways, but cruel and suffocating.

It's a teen book, so you know... she's going to single-handedly (ok, with a little help from a cute boy), blow the Jewel open.

I still don't know what I'd want to wear. Comfy or to the nines. Combat boots or Prada pumps. Decisions, decisions...

Depends...dressing well is the best revenge...I would wear something that made me feel powerful and sharp, along with some amulets to remind me of those I love most. Not sure what form those would take. Maybe a jade rabbit for DD, my wedding ring for DH.

I hope I don't have to make this decision, because it's just too hard. Interesting question and responses, though!

I've been pondering this and I can't get past teppanyaki and full kimono.

Well... Maybe that's the ticket then, approprio!

Last outfit would have to be something totally fabulous. I guess I'd have to beg, borrow or steal some Valentino or Dior.

Last meal would be a huge slice of apple pie with homemade vanilla ice cream. Talk about dying happy!

Rachy I was thinking about Margaret Atwood's book today. Scary. Something I read yesterday and then your post prompted me to that place.

Wow, I also had a fright! Thought there was a bad MRI scan or something.

I think I'd wear some kind of Ninja/Hunger Games techno-sporty-luxe garb and nimble footwear. Sounds like it needs to be hand-washable!
Hmm, this might be the basis for a Style name for my casual/oungewear capsule!

Last meal is hard and situational--too many bad connotations with Death Row vs. the last meal before you go on hardtack rations ( or Elven loaves) with the plan being to still be alive.

My last meal: filet mignon, shrimp cocktail, salad, baked potato with sour cream, and strawberry shortcake with real whipped cream. Champagne to start and a nice Cabernet to finish. Some Grand Marnier. And what would I wear? Some nice cashmere outfit, with pearls , and comfy slippers made of suede or velvet. I'm all about luxe and comfort.

Y'alls are making me hungry.

Angie... Maybe I should let people give me clothes... Except none of them have an eye like Greg... So... No
