Ever since I was young, I would love to get lost in thoughts and images about the topic. Lately I\u2019ve been thinking that there could be a strong a correlation between your personal dress style and your (aspirational) home d\u00e9cor. Are you more urban, rural, or somewhere in-between? Do you sway more towards formal\/tailored or casual\/ease? Traditional or edgy? Rooted in a set of beliefs or guided by the path of least resistance? Here are a couple examples of style pairs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.ca\/pin\/444871269439622886\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Robert Kime terracotta wall library<\/a> and a pair of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.ca\/pin\/444871269439622878\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">linen \u201cPlaytime\u201d-esque girls dresses<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/links1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-68762\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/links1-760x431.jpg\" alt=\"weekend links\" width=\"760\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/links1-760x431.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/links1-500x284.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/links1-768x436.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/links1-128x72.jpg 128w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/links1-1240x649.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/thinkpure.com\/salone-del-mobile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rectangular version of the Plinto Table by Meridiani<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harpersbazaar.com\/celebrity\/red-carpet-dresses\/g26471186\/all-oscars-red-carpet-dresses-2019\/?slide=32\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Letitia Wright gown at Oscars<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/links2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-68763\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/links2-760x344.jpg\" alt=\"weekend links\" width=\"760\" height=\"344\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/links2-760x344.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/links2-500x226.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/links2-768x347.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/links2-1240x561.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Are you participating in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/mendmarch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#MendMarch<\/a>?

She has finally graduated out of the little girl styles. Do you ever feel like knowing a bit about clothing construction is sometimes a curse? Using stretch fabric can be convenient and cost effective, but it shouldn\u2019t solve all your bodice fitting needs. I momentarily considered making her a tutu costume, but the more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/48414f86-4d37-11e8-97e4-13afc22d86d4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">I read about it<\/a>\u2014the boning, the decorative applique work, corralling mountains of tulle\u2014the more I am intimidated. Can you imagine something so compact requiring 60 meters of fabric?<\/li>\n<li>I suspect a lot of you will disagree, but <a href=\"https:\/\/pudding.cool\/2018\/08\/pockets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pockets<\/a> for me are mostly decorative. My husband is able to store handfuls of children\u2019s winter accessories and small toys, snacks and water bottles, as well as electronic devices and sometimes a wallet in his seemingly bottomless pant and coat pockets, while I rarely use mine. Why?<\/li>\n<li>I wear a lot of navy, black, and grey clothes, and I use splashes of color and pattern to signal that I\u2019m not in mourning. I find it easier to shop online for fabrics in these accent colors and patterns than my trusty solids, which I need to see in person before purchasing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2018\/08\/21\/ode-to-gray\/#more-128652\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">There are good greys and not good greys<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>I wonder if there are any sewing machines <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/where-movies-get-their-vintage-electronics-1832218560\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Some recent thoughts on the trials and tribulations of middle-school aged <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gse.harvard.edu\/news\/ed\/19\/01\/girlhood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">girls<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/graphics\/2018\/lifestyle\/being-a-boy-ages-11-and-12\/?utm_term=.332fbad3e5e1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">boys<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>I am unable to do this for sewing clothes, but for cooking meals, the results of which are fully consumed in a matter of hours, I like merely to read recipe instructions from beginning to end and then riff on a concept and set of ingredients. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2019\/dining\/no-recipe-recipes.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Ffood&amp;action=click&amp;contentCollection=dining&amp;region=rank&amp;module=package&amp;version=highlights&amp;contentPlacement=12&amp;pgtype=sectionfront\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">This list of ideas<\/a> is right up my alley.<\/li>\n<li>Has anyone seen this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.filmlinc.org\/nyff2018\/films\/the-times-of-bill-cunningham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2018 documentary on Bill Cunningham<\/a> yet?
