I made the hemline shorter on this fetchingly detailed red dress by basting it into an interesting asymmetry. It was a bit too large as is, and needed a slightly less dowdy length.Fancy tights and a tightly cinched black leather belt add additional flair for going out. Karaoke, my usual option. I always sing, and dance to other songs, and am of the mind that overdressing for such activities is somewhat impossible.
There is a widespread lack of contentment of the kind that accompanies a sense of humbled wonder, as engendered by the keenly experienced beauty of the natural world. Five deep outdoor breaths everyday might help alleviate the strain of our disconnect. Even better: seek out and notice the many insects drawn to each growing thing. Even weeds are a haven, for them and therefore perhaps for us.
