OOTD Selfie taken on a train 

 I'm off to celebrate an ex-colleague's retirement -- my first time back to campus since I retired over three years ago now. I'm taking advantage of the jaunt over to the island to visit friends, so posting will be light this week.  And, if this post is any indication, posting might also be rather random.

Let's call this Random Monday, shall we -- I'll try numbering the random for some arbitrary cohesion -- and see where the week takes me. . .

1. Photo above is of a favourite outfit in my recent carry-on-only travel wardrobe. Because of the pleats in the skirt, it might seem rather impractical, but because I love this recent purchase (Eileen Fisher, bought it in September) so much, I really wanted to bring it along. So to save the pleats from a good suitcase-squishing, I wore it for all the Transit days -- wore it on the plane days and the train days -- so four days, long days, right there. And I enjoyed wearing it for walking around cities as well. That's a relaxed/boxy, navy merino sweater (also EF, bought at the same time as the skirt) I'm wearing it with, above, and my pink Oxfords (Officine Creative).

This is a secret weapon for me, I'm just realizing, in planning a very small travel wardrobe that I won't get bored with: loving the garments I wear is more important to me than variety. Honestly, I've been wearing this combination almost as often now that I'm back home. . . .

2. Since we're all Tilda Swinton fans here (Is that a reasonably fair assumption? Feel free to pipe up in comments with your Yesses and Nos. . . ), I suspect you'll love this portrait of her by ex-partner and father of her twin son and daughter. It's worth reading the plaque below for a description of the portrait's execution -- in twenty minutes!

 3. I need to take a cue or two from Swinton -- hard to imagine her ever wearing a simper like this in a photograph. (honestly, I have such a problem with photos, having become quite self-conscious about an open-mouthed smile over the past few years).  Except for that, it's a decent photo, thanks to the lens-wielding by my good friend L, who invited me to Edinburgh to visit her while she was on sabbatical there. It was snapped at L'Escargot Bleu which I heartily recommend should you be heading to Edinburgh anytime soon. The ribbons you can glimpse dangling in the air behind me are attached to balloons floating at the ceiling, all in celebration of the just-arrived "nouveau Beaujolais."

 That cashmere leopard v-neck is so light-weight that it tends to get slipped into my case to provide that variety I mentioned above. I'd guess it's ten years old now, and still earning its keep. Except for the purple skirt, the pink shoes, and a leopard-print silk blouse, everything I brought was black or navy/indigo denim. . . (actually, the other shoes I bought were antiqued gold-black, so they were neutral, but not bland)

4. This bit of random is one of a series of photographs I took of a brilliant and beautiful staircase, Richard Wright's Stairwell Project at Scotland's National Gallery of Modern Art (Modern Two in Edinburgh). I'm going to tell you more about this very soon.

And perhaps you'll notice that I'm beginning, in this random post, to get at some of what I was talking about last post, about sorting out how a particular trip, a visit to a city perhaps, takes shape, how it shows one's priorities, on the ground. . . . Still intending to post more comprehensively about that.

 5.  I took a few Selfies in hotel rooms or in the mirrors of my guest rooms along the way.  This one was to show off the silk scarf I fell for, and bought, in Paris. . .

 You can also see here the outfit I most often presented to the world as I traveled -- my coat and scarf! (I brought two with me -- one in taupe cashmere, the other sporting a gold-stamped skull on soft pink merino).  I did bring along my down-jacket-in-a-tiny-bag and it was useful in Italy, where the days were a bit too warm (and the activities more casual) for the tailored merino. . .

Speaking of Random Abundance. . . That Hair!! Curls and Grey, all completely natural, yes, and so "interesting" to see how it behaves in different water conditions. . . . 

Random Abundance -- out of this is born Coherence, as Kim Stafford promises in The Muses Among Us. . . .So shall I continue to hope.  Because I'm quite sure these next few days visiting will bring more of it, and I'll be doing my best to capture some of it for you and midwife it onto a page in my sketchbook or a screen for your eyes to read here. . .

Meanwhile, as I'm heading across the city on buses and skytrains, across the water on a ferry, along a seawall pulling my faithful little case, I look forward to reading your comments here -- they can be random too, if you wish ;-)
