This might have been an earlier notice in my blog, though a fashion one. I recall the high-end designer stores showing mannequins with “large blanket-like stoles” wrapped around them. I wrote about it. However, this morning there was a lovely gaggle walking to the local high school. We are enjoying a warm, slightly blustery spring day or two. Would you wear a jacket or not? No. You would not. You are young and daring. You would eschew the common sense of your forefathers. You would not succumb to a fashion statement, but create your own. You would wrap yourself in a crappy blanket.
This stole was a culling from the pile in the family room of those fleece-tied gems of yore. I’m pretty sure the teen had access to a coat. Probably many of them? But she chose a blanket for her walk to school.
The more I thought about it the more I admired her.
Love coming to your blog every now and again and getting a glimpse into your life!
Love the way you put words and thoughts together.
Keep writing and I’ll keep reading.
Love and miss you.
How great to hear from you! We have other Aussie mates visiting right now, and we’ve provided them with weather from a sunny 80 degrees to snowing and 20s. Miss you, too, as we chat travel to Oz.
