The Best Knit Dress

I adore this Uniqlo heavyweight 100% cotton jersey dress.

I purchased it sometime in 2017.

first published sighting: 11/9/17

I counted 20 IG posts with it, and I've worn it many more times than photographed.

It is my perennial go-to for air travel.

In this photo, I'm all packed and ready to leave Houston, October 2019.

A favorite combo is with a Uniqlo flannel shirt:

Disaster struck while shopping at Smart & Final - Severo dislodged a glass jar of Sesame Oil onto the floor, it shattered, and I was in the line of fire. Major oil stains happened, which I was unable to wash out.

Fortunately I learned some good mending tricks from Kate of @visiblemend on IG. I disguised the stains with embroidery! 

yes, mending while flying

All in all, a very Good Buy!

Fur Real and Faux

Shelbee and Nancy are presenting their monthly Good Buy/Goodbye series with the theme Fur next week. They are soliciting outfit photos involving fur items.

I realized I have quite the collection!
I gathered up All Most of the Fur Things.
Put them in a heap, Marie Kondo style.

Mr Lou, my favorite Fur Thing, escaped when the pile got too big.

Assessed my collection!
Do they "spark joy"?
Oh, YES!

Shelbee style, I'm going to show you some "greatest hits" from the past:

I gave this one away, it no longer fit.

Here's one particular item of note that I got from my Great Aunt Carol:

A grey cashmere cardigan trimmed with fake fur binding, buttons, and mice.

By some miracle, it has only one tiny moth hole.

It's also too small. Marie would say "take a photo and give it away. I say no.

And a blast from the past from high school:

11/1973
As part of our senior yearbook photo package, we had both informal black and white pictures in a location of our own choosing
and color formal posed "studio" style portraits. Guess who didn't take the studio portion seriously.
Wearing a mink-lined coat that belonged to Cousin Hitch (my paternal grandmother's cousin, I think).
My mom put the coat in fur storage when I moved to CA -- I wonder if it's still there?

Check out the Fur edition of the Good Buy/Goodbye Book.
There will be a new photo of the Big Pink Shawl Rug, as seen in Inglewood.
