A million miles from Vogue
Distrust, wrote Thoreau, any enterprise that (pause for thought) requires new clothes. How true. All mine are old, and so its no surprise I dont get out much -- strictly entre nous thats how I planned it. All my clothes were bought with one eye on their gardening potential; their thorn-proof bagginess, the mud-proof sort, their washability is quintessential.
They wouldnt take me to a glamorous party - d้collet้ and skin-tight arent my passion. Not bought to sparkle with the glitterati, and never this years must-have, latest fashion. I look for comfort, warmth, and decency in age, and anything that styles itself robust. They grow much like each other, mainly beige. Or green. But plain. Whatever. Im not fussed.
