COMMENTS— The light has been amazing. It was really beautiful on Thursday. Of course it is. It is Solstice! I don’t have time to be making new garments, so I am back in that make do phase at least for the summer. I have three skirts and two pairs of shorts. But you know, it really is enough. Sure, I would like to look super fancy every day, but the reality is that we don’t look super fancy every day. In fact, I am still not over the fact that I don’t actually look the same every day. What is up with that?

COMMENTS– I am feeling better about the just roll with the flow aspect of the project. Every day I wear clothing I have made, and I try and find some one who will take my photo in the middle of whatever road I am on. The weather shifts wildly out here and the garments I have made are not necessary meant for bush living, but it is what is. Sunday marked the 150th day of this project. WOW.

COMMENTS- Well, I have made it through another week. I have had an assortment of photographers which has been interesting. There is a bit of a problem with dogs showing up in the photos. I think have my McCarthy road spot figured out and now know how to instruct the photographer to simply position themselves on their spot and click away. My wardrobe could really use more McCarthy style clothes, but I am making do.

COMMENTS
The wild sunshine is making photography difficult. I have had that Lady Skater dress in my closet the whole time, but I am never compelled to wear it. I am not sure why. I made three new garments this week. A knit tunic and tights out of Chalk Line Knit from Marcy Tilton. I also finished another modified Rebecca Taylor t-shirt top out of a great multi-colored print knit. I am trying very hard not to get even a DAY behind in documenting this shit.
