Fashintern, something like that would be great for Christmas day, but I don't wear loungewear on a regular basis, so it would really be wasted on me. More generally, I do wish the velvet season were longer here. I'm typing this from the patio, where it is currently a hazy 93°.
Angie, that is a really, really good reminder. My feelings are currently telling me not to hesitate adding something that makes me happy, but not to press the matter. There's a big weather shift on the horizon, though, so we'll see what that changes. (BTW, this might be the longest I've been away from Seattle since moving away in 2011, and I miss it so much! It's our home away from home.)
Cardiff Girl, well I guess I can mark it up as a plus that I wouldn't freeze to death if I just chose not to get dressed?
shevia, we are really lucky to live in a place where doing things outdoors is still practical and permitted, but even then, my mind is on maintaining a six-foot-radius and keeping my mask adjusted rather than any image I'm presenting.
Sal, lots of good suggestions! My boxy black top (in Finds above) is raw silk and it honestly doesn't feel like a very luxurious fabric to me. It's kind of like cotton, but with a slightly different hand. A really great winter jumpsuit would be fab, though. Something for outside also seems like it would strike the right note. Or instead of a statement skirt, maybe that elusive slip dress I've been low-key searching for forever. That would skirt (hah)the line between luxurious holiday loungewear and fun-for-going-out, if paired with a topper, tights, and stompy boots.
