My British friend Liz (how International am I?) commenting on my post, School Redeux, said "Equally as perplexing is to pull a book off a shelf and look at the underlining that you did 30 or more years ago. Why did that particular line of Doris Lessing or Germaine Greer seem so challenging? Or the margin notes that you scribbled? What was your younger self thinking? It is almost as much of a revelation as looking at old photographs! Aside from her impressive literary picks of 30 years ago (are you impressed?) I thought that the idea of revisiting what we chose to wear, way back when, was worth a comment or two.
And, much to my horror, the Times Style section highlighted a look that made absolutely no sense to me way back when, so WHY would they revisit it now?
All in Knots do you remember it?
Fringe, to me, should be the reserved for the edges of pillows, curtains and rugs. As for clothing, not so much. Macrame, while a creative and interesting Art form, had limited attraction as clothing.
Unless, of course, you were interested in playing peek a boo with your various and assorted body parts. Really, how strategically can one place a knot?
