Good Buy/Goodbye Winter Coats

It's halfway through the month (what?!) and time for an episode of Shelbee and Nancy's Good Buy/Good Bye Book. The theme this month is Winter Coats.

First, my submission, a favorite:

 See how I wore it in 2014
I have WAY too many winter coats.
Did a culling in 2023 and now they're in my Poshmark shop.

Sad to see that camel color/leopard trim one go. Can no longer wedge my arms into it.
That scarf is on Poshmark too!

10 on the 10th on 3.14

Answering 10 questions! This is a fun monthly thing instigated by Marsha In the Middle.
To quote Marsha's prompt post:

Do you know when Pi Day is? It’s March 14 but looks better if you write it 3.14! And, that is pi to two decimals. Pi goes on to infinity which means it’s not rational. Do yourself a favor and don’t look up the definition unless you’re a math major. My daughter, who was a math major, explained that a rational number can be written as a fraction. Irrational numbers cannot. Pi is irrational because it can’t be written as a fraction! So, have at it, my friends and tell us about the ten irrational (as in not logical) things you would do! And, remember, it’s so much more fun when you give reasons for your answers!

I did some research and found 7 irrational questions from past 10 on the 10ths:
4/23

7/23

10/23

12/23

2/24

6/24

2/25
Note the trend towards CHOCOLATE!
And 2023 was a banner year for irrational questions.

Then I went to ChatGPT and asked "this or that absurd questions involving chocolate"
The Chat called it "Absurd Chocolate Dilemma":
  1. Eat a chocolate bar that tastes like broccoli OR a broccoli that tastes like chocolate?
  2. Swim in a pool of melted chocolate OR have it rain chocolate syrup for a week?
  3. Have chocolate-flavored toothpaste OR brush your teeth with melted chocolate?
  4. Wear clothes made of solid chocolate OR shoes filled with hot fudge?
  5. Only be able to eat chocolate-covered vegetables OR chocolate-covered insects?
  6. Have fingers that constantly ooze chocolate OR cry chocolate tears?
  7. Be cursed to always have chocolate melted on your hands OR never be able to taste chocolate again?
  8. Replace all the water in your house with chocolate milk OR have your furniture be made of solid chocolate?
  9. Live in a house made of chocolate that melts in the sun OR a house that constantly smells like chocolate but never has any?
  10. Have chocolate hair that you can snack on OR chocolate skin that melts in the sun?
Marsha, you are welcome to use any of these for your next "This or That" 🤣

Seventeen [a prime number] questions in all and if I must answer one...
Chocolate hair! Except I'd quickly become bald from nibbling on it all the time.

Getting Into Sol LeWitt

 Marsha posted this artwork for the bi-monthly Style Imitating Art challenge:

Sol LeWitt, Wall Drawing No. 652

Immediately, I thought: I have a shirt like that!

Why not put the two together?

notice I fixed the wonky perspective on the art

This was so entertaining, I'm considering doing more!
I want to virtually pose before ALL the Sols! Haha.
