Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s also a (teapot-less) Tuesday in February, and there are 34 days of winter left to go. Birthdays: Frederick Douglass (maybe), Jack Benny, Florence Henderson, Gregory Hines, Terry Gross. What fragrance are you wearing?
I am doing imaginary textile matching this week, since I’m on a beach vacation and will likely be commando 80% of the time and in Guerlain Terracotta Le Parfum for the other 20%. Today I’m pretending to scent cashmere, which seems to indicate Fendi Theorema. My (real) tea is Numi Aged Earl Grey, double strength with milk.
Reminder: 2/17 will be Textile Friday…wear a perfume that makes you think of a textile–linen, silk, raw silk, velvet, corduroy, damask, wool poplin, cashmere, polyester, swimsuit fabric, etc. Suggested by Oakland Fresca.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2023, where I’ll try (but obviously sometimes fail) to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
Note: top image shows a White Heart-intarsia Cashmere Sweater from Valentino, originally at Matches Fashion, probably sold out. (The text: your eyes are the eyes of a woman in love.)
