Grump grump

Have I whined recently about how deeply dissatisfied I am with my wardrobe? I'm poking through it looking for the specified "festive attire" to wear to a party tonight. I like making fitted, tailored clothes. All my really nice stuff is precisely fitted. And it all fits someone who weighs 50-60 pounds more than I do. Wah! And the rest is boring. Or stuff I just don't like any more. Wah! Whine! And there's no way I'm going to spend a bunch of money or sewing time to do anything about it yet. (I'm even re-thnking whether I want to make something new for 12th night.) Whine! Scowl!

Somewhat OT: 12th Night

Speaking of 12th Night, I have a friend in Sacramento who's going to 12th Night; she was wondering how "formal" it was -- what manner of dress would be all right for someone who hasn't been to an event in quite some time. I figured it couldn't hurt to ask you, even if your answer is "don't know".

Secondhand/consignment shop ftw?

As someone who currently owns only one acceptable modern skirt for wear in the winter, and who wore it today and will be wearing it again tomorrow, I sympathize. (I'm a docent for Giles' and Giuseppe's Edwardian house on the French Park Holiday Home Tour. I'm also wearing my one acceptable lightweight red sweater both days. Nobody will notice except the hosts.)
