A Returning Traveler's Miscellany. . . Art and What I Wore, There and At Home

A few more photos from that Women House exhibition I saw in Paris week before last --  these top two, of smaller sculptures by Louise Bourgeois, exploring the relationship between woman and house, women and home. . .

 And then these photos of one of her monumental, iconic Spiders, fascinatingly different in this context than others I have seen -- the one I'm most familiar with being the one outside Ottawa's National Gallery, that spider, titled Maman,  an impressive (and potentially terrifying) 30 feet high.

Some of you may want to scurry past these photos with your eyes covered. . .

 scroll to the bottom of the page quickly

 in that case, and I'll see if you can spot my reflection in the museum mirror. . .

 There you are, safely out of that Arachnophobe's nightmare. . . .

Can you see me in the mirrored door, below, trying to catch a Selfie? There are very few photos of me from this trip, to be honest. Certainly, there wasn't much need to catch the variety I managed from my carry-on wardrobe. Photos would only have shown either this classic dark coat (with jeans, or black pants, or over a dark, knit, knee-length pencil skirt) or the black Uniqlo down jacket I wore for a more casual look.

 You can see the Uniqlo jacket here, worn with my black sneakers, and that same post will also show you the green boots that gave me a break from my metallic oxfords. In fact, I must say that I didn't really get bored with my carry-on wardrobe (which I checked, by the way, for the plane -- but was still very pleased to be able to heft by myself onto trains, and to pull along to hotels, for the solo part of my trip). Quite honestly, variety is becoming increasingly less important to me in my dress; not sure if that's due to retirement or age or concern about the environment. Nor am I sure if this desire for simplicity will last, but I'm making the most (the least?!) of it while it lasts. . .

That's not to say that I wasn't glad to get home to the rest of my closet, nor does it mean I was completely impervious to the siren call of the post-Christmas sales.  Very considered, and in no rush at all to add new pieces, but I've been missing a good sweater dress for a few years now, and this one was on sale at an independent shop I like to support, just up the street.

 This would be a mite bulky for a carry-on wardrobe, but I have to say that in the weather we're having right now, I could happily wear it every day of the week. Might be getting close to that this week, truth be told. . . Undergarments, tights, dress, shoes, Dressed! And it's cosy as well. . .

 A close-up of the knit fabric so that you can see all the flecks of colour in that charcoal yarn. . .

Do you know Louise Bourgeois's work? Have you ever seen any of her giant spiders? Or perhaps you've seen some of her works exploring themes of family and home, tension-filled installations. . . (we saw a stunning exhibition in Paris about ten years ago, at the Pompidou, a show organised in collaboration with London's Tate Modern. I need to search out my notes from that in my box of travel journals. . . )
And on a lighter note, were you able to find any good buys in the post-Christmas sales? Or, perhaps even better, were you able to avoid them all?
