Who, Where & What you were Wearing

 

Last night, around the dinner table, we created a game, "who, where, and what we ate". Some of the responses at our table were — "Angie & Jim, at their acreage, German roulade", "Nadia & Joel, Calgary, shrimp and grits" and "Lolita, Arcachon, oysters". 

Here, I have modified the game to do the same with clothing — "who was there, what were you doing, and what were you wearing". "The girls, a bonfire while camping, warm thick sweaters and jeans", "the sisters, cleaning mom's house, stained t-shirt and leggings", "colleagues, retirement party, beige Lida Biday suit & Jimmy Choos" (in the photo). 

Let's see . . . what else? Angelica, Danielle and I — having dinner in the garden in Port Ste. Foy — all three of us in black and white Breton stripes.

Me — Fashion Fur Ladies Wear — my first designer purchase, a knit dress by Louis FĂ©raud.

Me — my Masters convocation — my first Armani suit purchased at Holt Renfrew in Edmonton. Unfortunately, this also brings back memories of me at my heaviest. 

The skirt has been reworked into a pencil skirt from its former tulip skirt self.

Even though the jacket fits a little more loosely, it is so well tailored, I can still wear it and do.
Another adaptation that would be fun —the place, the event, and the shoes. "Winners in Prince Albert — going to Chad & Alyssa's condo at Elk Ridge — bought beige Havaianas flip flops".

My husband and I — after a picnic on the banks of the Dordogne — barefeet.



Let's play . . . hit the comments and tell me: Who was there? What were you doing? What were you wearing?
