Avant-Garde – Day 13
It’s official. I’m switching this month to Arty Slick. I’d hate to say I’m an Avant-Garde quitter, but it’s just far too impractical for me. I’d be doing it more for a joke than anything else and that kind of defeats the purpose of my blog, which is to find styles that can actually and practically work for moms. Besides, I feel like I’ve only hit the mark on Avant-Garde once this month and that was on the first day.
I know there are Avant-Garde moms out there — Bjork is a mom, for example.
But she is also an internationally known singer so I think the whole Avant-Garde thing fits her lifestyle better than mine… you know me, who lives on a farm and if I wore a bird dress around our property I could actually be attacked by a coyote or taken away by a hawk.
So in the interest of ensuring my children still have a mother, I am switching to Arty Slick. It’s still not an easy style. It’s a lot of black… a lot of dry cleaning and a lot of big, pointy jewelry.
But I think I can do it. So that’s my big decision for the day. I consider it my “Syria.”
I like the arty slick better on you too :)
Thanks. I do too. I think I would have really “Mrs. Ropered” the whole Avant-garde look…
Some of my ebay buys are arriving for my Katharine Hepburn look and although half have been rubbish and sent back half is seeming to work okay. Nobody will have a scoobie why I’m wearing it but I know and that’s pleasing for me.
