packing away

it’s time to say goodby to the summer wardrobe.

 

so i’m packing you away, my bright yellow and orange plaid pants with the coordinating yellow top, good-bye red bandana print skirt with the flirty ruffle that i only wore once but promise to wear again next year.  so long, all four of you hardworking white t-shirts, v-neck, rounded neck,

ballerina neck and just plain neck.  later dude to the blue pants with the island theme and the trees that look like giant pot plants. farewell, my faithful summer nighties in cotton and jersey. 

 

parting is such sweet sorrow.  we will meet again next year. 

 

 

WELCOME oh muted shades of fall and winter.  Oh tans and browns and grays, how i have missed you. so good to see you, my lovely long sleeved, button down shirts that i need to iron before every wear.   keep me warm, all you sweaters and turtlenecks.  join the party, my calf length skirts, so that i don’t have to shave my legs again until we next see the spring grass.  and calling all flannel nighties and pj’s to keep me toasty warm on a cold night. 

 

i can’t wait to shake out your wrinkles and hang you up in my closet.  we need to spruce you up a bit. and if it turns out that you’ve been a good winter wardrobe and still fit me, we might be able to squeeze out a few new accessories.

 

we’ve much to do.
