Paris! Clothes! Panic!
According to astrology charts, I���m a Leo with a heck of a lot of Cancer in me. This means, among other things, that I���m a clothes horse who likes to be prepared. I am obsessed with colors, fabrics, and design, and if I���d had an iota of talent, I would have been a clothing designer. And now I am preparing for a tour of France, with nearly a week in Paris.��.��. the epicenter of clothing design. How can I possibly dare to sit in a restaurant or walk into a hotel there unless appropriately attired?
But my closet is sadly filled with a writer���s clothes, the shabby jeans and shorts I wear around the house.�� My travel clothes are basically what a friend calls landfill lining���unnatural fabrics that don���t wrinkle, in basic black.
Yes, I suppose I could buy a few elegant pieces while there, but there is very little point in buying clothes I���m unlikely to wear again. So this is me, panicking.��.��.

Patricia - I feel your alert on fashion & clothes, most of my time I spend active in my art studio, doing laundry, working to clean my apt, studio, wearing whatever feels casual, comfortable. But - when I know some one is visiting, I must go out in public, I keep the better viewed clothing laid out & ready to wear. New clothing has become too expensive for me, so, I've bought clothing "like new" from eBay sellers, handy & packages delivered to my bldg. Comfortable clothes are the best.

I'm very glad I don't have to identify myself to others by what I'm wearing!
