m

your home in utter disarray
mess and dogs and frenchspeaking girl
user nomad painters- dishwasherless caos
furniture gallore, daughters and baby giselle

how can it be
that i would rather
just sit there
amoungst it all
me who only wants clean and quiet

how are you -the red herring
friend and mother to me

i don't belong in your family tree
but i am not going anywhere
centuries of love and understanding
and strangeness always follows
i hear the rustle and jingle in the distance
my minds ear

what to wear?

my fashion rules that are maybe a bit dumb

no white bottoms after labour day
plaid anything only between sept. and december
red in november till december
grey in january till march mixed with pink starting mid february
knee high boots are great if your skirt or tights cover knee
do not buy anything you need to iron or dryclean
no black from may till august unless with a major bright
no more cotton knee high dresses
2 purses per year- one springsummer, one fallwinter.. if fallwinter is plaid- it must be tossed by january
no useless scarves
all jewel tones can be worn together
getting really sick of green
just say no to longcrotch pants
and yes- shoes can make you look slutty even when the rest looks pretty normal
cardigan sweaters only- unless really interesting
no i don't want to have the same purse as you
no slips- no nylons
wool is no good unless mixed
i'd rather see you in flats if you can't walk dollface
love stripes, dots, paisley, texture, pattern, herringbone, tweed etc.
brown brown till snow falls then black
purple is the best go between right now-- that and orange
too much trendy is boring and expensive
only valuevillage is unfortunate
