Last year I edited a terrific book of personal essays called A Life in Pieces. The author was a long-time academic in Alberta. The book is deft, witty, surprising, and at times profound. Sadly, my client died of cancer before the official release date. Her husband invited me to read in her stead last night at the launch.
It was a lovely event, held in a local pub's private back room, with good friends of hers, including another author launching her own book about the female Vikings. We read, talked, ate and drank, and reminisced.
It was coolish and raining when I left the house, so in addition to my raincoat, I wore the Dries van Noten linen/cotton tartan pants, oxfords, an ancient cotton knit shell from J. Crew, and a knit military jacket. The other author also wore navy blue, so we were a match!
Nothing new here, but I felt very comfortable and relaxed in these pieces. It's amazing how one quiet statement piece, like the Dries trousers, can make everything else feel right.
