transparent pale blue lace & The House of Mirth & moving
22 December 2009
a skirt from La Meow of the dreamy and fantastical clothes! frothy. lacy. see-thru. pale-blue. & teeny tiny pleats! i love it so much. and can’t wait to make an outfit with it. maybe something over black opaque tights or black lace tights, black ankle booties [whether the world tires of them or not!] and then some more black too… thank you La Meow!
followed by… The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton. an incredible book. so bright and insightful, so naturally spoken. but i don’t know if i can finish it. it’s too sad. i love this cover. and her dress.
and about moving… wow, to sort through a life! i want to bring as little as possible to Toronto. but it exhausts me to rank the things i own. and then of course to get rid of things responsibly. i mean i have the most wicked sticker collection ever! [i should give that to Jen…] and deleting data! data stored on old mediums- jazz disks? floppies? cell phones! how many old cell phones do i own? and do i want all these old photos? some of them make me want to cry. i cry! oh my goodness. sometimes i really feel that what i own, i just want to own it online, and share it. like photos on flickr. and if i want books i can get them from the library. music i can download, and so on. i get scared to think that one day i would wallow in memories instead of just live! but what if i forget? oh, i can barely handle this…
alo cocorosa! so nice to see you :) you are for sure a pale blue and lace person :) i’m glad you like they sock garters. thanks!

I looove that blue lace also…“La Meow” is so inspiring. I look at her/her clothes and just whimper with envy.
I have that problem too—trying to decide which photos I want to put on Flickr…I’m a very nostalgic person too, and have always loved looking at my old photos! Sniff, sniff! I don’t know, where does one draw the line? Hmmm.
hey liz, ya i really can’t figure out sorting out my stuff. my floor is a mess!
hey yumna! yey. thanks so much! but i didn’t live in dubai. maybe that is someone else’s comment? or i dunno?

The powder blue is so lovely! Ugh, moving can be such a pain but at least you can get rid of things that you don’t need!

I agree, the cover of the book is beautiful… and bring everything that is special to you when you move…especially the books

I am just starting to read House of Mirth! And I empathize re moving, and I like to purge stuff.
