No slouching!

Posture class at Barnard College, 1954. I'm into posture - after practicing and teaching yoga for almost a decade now & playing the violin a decade before that, sometimes it's hard for me to not notice my own posture and the posture of others, so ladies, stand up straight!

Hey, its me again!

Hold the phone - it's an outfit post! It has been so long since I have done one that my tripod was enrobed in cobwebs. But the spirit moved me, or rather the polka dots moved me. I've never been into polka dots, I think the last time I wore them is over a year ago (HERE) but suddenly, this autumn I am sort of loving them, especially when they are done in a preppy way. And I think the beret is going to be my chapeau of choice this fall/winter, so classic, easy to wear & warm!
