What I'm Wearing: To Please Myself

 The post I had planned for this morning wasn't really an "outfit post." Instead, I was using the playful exhortation on this t-shirt as an entry-point to tell you about my efforts lately to figure out what I want to do (as opposed to what might please others around me).

 I bought the shirt in Paris last visit at a shop called La Fée Maraboutée (which translates roughly, I believe, as The Bewitched Fairy, although I also hear connotations of those stoles/scarves made of feathers). The shirt's text plays on the French expression: Fais ce qu'il te plait (Do what pleases you), substituting the same-sounding, different-meaning-and-spelling "Fée" for "Fais, perhaps evoking a magic wand to help in the doing what you want. . . .

I was going to tell you about my recent window-shopping, the fall reconnaissance that has so far returned me to my own wardrobe, fairly determined to make do (and mend, more on my cashmere-mending efforts later). I might also have told you about my continued efforts to reconcile myself to my short waist (thicker than I'd like) and to wearing an outfit, as above, that pleases me for its clean, slightly playful simplicity (besides the shirt's text, fun comes via the leopard-print belt, imho) and its suitability to most of my daily activities -- trying not to be a slave to rules that make "figure flattery" (which generally means: Make yourself look taller and slimmer!) the guiding principle. And I was going to tell you about how pleasing myself one day last week (and it happened to be our 43rd anniversary) meant saying I wanted to cycle part of our route on my own, at my own speed, stopping when I wanted to. . . .

But, as it turns out, writing a long blogpost is not what pleases me this morning. The number of visitors has fallen off lately, temporarily I hope -- I suspect you're all out grabbing these last precious days of summer and getting ready for la rentrée back to fall's busy-ness. Not that I write only in hopes of garnering popularity or fame, but I do like the hours I put in to be balanced somewhat at the reading end. So for today, I'm clicking on "Publish" as soon as I ask you, What have you done lately to please yourself? Do you ever consciously push aside a sense of obligation to others to Fais ce qu'il te plait? And do the others complain? Does it matter? Or do you sometimes find that the others whom you'd worried about dis-pleasing are actually pleased for you instead?  (This is almost always the case with my husband, I have to say. But more on that later...)
