color

This morning someone complimented my ensemble (only because "outfit" connotes a different thing) and I thanked her and she observed that it is a new color for me and asked if the outfit was new. The cap-sleeved, v-neck green t-shirt is recent, I admitted, but the skirt I bought in 1988. It's still a lisaish pattern--vaguely floral, mostly abstract, muted--but is in two shades of rose, two of slate blue, and a green on white. That is, unless brown leather sandals count, there is hardly a neutral on my body. I am trying not to feel garish.

Between that and the skirts--plus the pacifism and mission of social justice--I think I would make a good Quaker. You know, except for the earth-worshipping pagan bit.
