What to Wear When Walking to the Ballet . . . Comfortable Pizzaz?
First of all, thanks so much for your kind and encouraging comments on my last post. It's always awkward to write something like that because I don't want to be seen as fishing, as trying to elicit praise. But sometimes the only way to keep writing is to write about the blocks, about what's making it tough for me to engage with the words, on the screen. That's what I was doing yesterday morning, and now I'm heartened and embarrassed in just about equal measures by all your positive feedback about what you find here. It seems that random and uneven is okay with you. In fact, it seems that -- despite our reservations about the word "authentic," you see the random and uneven as worthwhile because they reflect a certain authenticity. Apparently "random and uneven" work, occasionally at least, because they echo something others experience. Thank you for telling me this, so warmly.
To those who suggested I perhaps post less often -- once a week, perhaps. . . this is an excellent and sensible suggestion, and I have no idea why it isn't the solution I'm trying. Except that it feels a bit too much like putting too many eggs in one basket, or something like that.
At the moment, feeling a bit scattered, I'm actually feeling I might post more often one week -- a series of short posts, perhaps mostly visual -- and less the next, perhaps a longer "thought piece."
So today, I give you a What I Wore post. Last Friday, we spontaneously bought tickets for BC Ballet's performance that evening (and what a gorgeous show that was, contemporary dance drawing on all the beauty and discipline of classical ballet -- responding to a range of music from Jimi Hendrix to Mozart to Dutch composer Thom Willems). And since we were walking downtown (about 3 kilometres each way), comfortable footwear was important, but I wanted a bit of pizzaz. . .
So my MOMA Oxfords, with their metallic finish, and my leopard-print wool coat (9 years old now, by Canadian label Louben).
Worn over black Vince sweater (cashmere against the chilly night -- a gamble inside the theatre, though, and I might have used my program as fan once or twice) and black wide-legged, cropped knit pants (wool) by Aritzia -- the only new garment in the outfit and already a wardrobe favourite.
Those beads you've seen before and my Hermès watch with its non-Hermès (but bought in Paris, as you can see in this sketch) strap. .
And that's all for today. . .
except to thank you again for being here . . .
