Okay, so I've been a bad blogupdater this week - but it's just because I've been spinning more blugly, so there's nothing new to show off.
Anyway, it just occurred to me how odd it is that I have no patience for FASHION, but I'm obsessed with KNITTING, which is essentially an act of clothing or accessory design/creation. How can I immerse myself in the world of fiber arts if I have no concept of Fashion? Most knitwear pattern designers have some sense of their own style; even if it's not a mainstream or conventionally "acceptable" look, there is usually an identifiable visual idea that they've taken to.
On the way to the office, I was thinking about how I dress, the things I prefer to buy and wear and, looking down at my three-years-out-of-style cardigan and my zip-up Keds sneakers, I realized I DO have a distinctive style. And that style is "Mr. Rogers."

If I submitted your name to one of those fashion makeover shows would you kill me?
It may be hereditary. Your father, rest his soul, was a huge Mr. Rogers fashion fan. In fact, if you need more cardigans, I still have some of his. Maxim is being overly critical. I like you just the way you are. It's you I like. It's not the things you wear. It's not the way you do your hair, But it's you I like. The way you are right now.
Just trying to help out...

Hi, Mr McFeeley, what the hell are you doing in my house?
I think Mr. Rogers really works for you--go with it! I've found a bunch of pics on a fashion magazine site highlighting chic girls wearing grandpa cardigans and looking hot doing it. Here they are for inspiration and proof that you are a trend-setter!
