Remember I said I felt as if I’d lost my whimsey. Well, I think these pants will speak to my hard-​​core, redis­cov­ered whim­sical diva. Saturday evening, I attacked a piece of fabric. these pants were the results. I was worried orig­i­nally about length… I was wrong! TONIGHT’S pants won’t have that problem (hope­fully) but they’ll be far more demure! (“exactly like the Wedding Priestess,” she says, coyly!)

Luckily, no seam­stress can see closely enough to see the oopsies! It makes a nice break from article writing. My girl­friend Jeanie who took these photos, said, didn’t you make a top from that fabric. 1) I promise never to wearthem together. 2) not everyone is as obser­vant as she is. 2) just think of me as your own indi­vidual von trapp family raiding the curtains. (and who coulda lived with these curtains!)

Tip: Always have a good time, except when you can’t!
