TRINITY SUNDAY/NO-BUY MAY 26


 Sunday-morning desk with breakfast dishes. I have about an hour before it's time to leave for Mass at St. Michael's --- we are pretty out of the 9 a.m. Mass habit, I have to say, but here I am, up and if not dressed, at least thinking about it. 

So, Mass and then about 90 minutes of choir practice after. And after that, a Sunday afternoon of not much going on. 

While I'm sitting here with my second cup of coffee, I think I'll sketch another quick outfit plan for the week. I didn't slavishly follow my plan last week, but it helped to have it in place, especially in the sense of putting more of my closet to use. 

You'll see shortly what I planned to wear today, but here's another list of outfit possibilities, not tied to particular days (though Wednesday and Thursday I do have particular plans and will need to dress for them):

Not Perfect Linen Smock dress with Crocs or Xero Jessie sandals (to give the Birks a rest)

Floral pinafore with tank (either pink or teal) and Birk Balis (to give the Mayaris a rest, specifically)

Wed-Thurs: Church/choir dress clothes: 

-Black concertwear linen dress and black cardigan, Crocs or Jessies

-Blue linen sleeveless tunic, navy linen dusty cardigan, light linen straight skirt, Crocs

Pink linen trousers with tank

Wisteria Willow with Birks

Next Sunday: either concertwear again for choir, or Marine-Blue Maggie dress with navy linen duster cardigan and Birk Papillios

I give myself permission at any moment to feel like wearing something not on this plan, but this at least gives me something to fall back on that I know will be fine, every day of the week. The fewer decisions I have to make in a given moment, the better. 

POST-CHURCH: 

Wearing:



*Secondhand Not Perfect Linen Leila dress (S/M) in Cinnamon Rose, bought December 2023 (or January 2024? Can't remember now)

*Very old rayon cardigan, bought probably in 2005

*Thrifted Crocs passed along by the Texasgirl

And after church and choir practice, on this very warm day: 



Here's a back shot of the dress. You can tell what the necklines/backs of my other clothes are like by my tan line, already, but I still love the cut of this dress in the back: 



Home now after a fun morning: a beautiful Mass with great music, followed by rehearsal with the festival choir for Corpus Christi and some visiting with friends --- what with one thing or another, I know a lot of people at that parish, so it's always nice to turn up there. 

Now for a lazy Sunday afternoon at home with Dora . . .
