I recently noticed that I have several dresses that are mostly navy blue or have a navy blue background and it's definitely not one of my favorite colors. Weird.

I know when I know someone slightly I can picture their physical appearance much more clearly than someone I know well and have known for a long time. Their personalities outweigh the visual! <br /><br />I'm not sure what my favourite colour is -- I do love yellow but don't think I sew with it all that much overall.Melwykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885378201188978664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-26310164651617055612017-04-25T10:24:08.648-04:002017-04-25T10:24:08.648-04:00Yikes!

There is certainly that kind of attitude still prevalent (ie: the rude commentary about something looking "Becky Home-Ecky" which I always find very patronising and snobby). But as people aren't generally buying couture or even finely made clothes these days I think many home sewists make more fashionable and classic clothing than you can buy. What a hurtful comment - you can see how those linger.Melwykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885378201188978664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-46259599132686921892017-04-25T10:21:56.834-04:002017-04-25T10:21:56.834-04:00You've got me wondering!

Feeling awkward and uncomfortable is never a good thing. And yes, isn't it that you should wear the clothes, not the clothes wear you?

He told me that no one notices it. "Seriously. People notice your eyes and your smile...they aren't looking at that mole." I never got it removed and now *I* barely notice it!! <br /><br />So I agree that people either a) interact with you on a deeper level so they don't notice or b) don't really interact at all so they don't notice.<br /><br />Blue is my favorite color and goodness knows I sew a lot of it. I also sew a TON of black/white prints and grey. So much grey :)KS_Sews (Dressmakingbacles)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04687503853838975877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-70516612827396985482017-04-12T19:29:17.131-04:002017-04-12T19:29:17.131-04:00your post reminds me of a comment I heard one time...your post reminds me of a comment I heard one time. I was attending training to become a personal fashion stylist. when the instructor learned that I liked to sew my own clothes she bluntly told me I needed to stop doing that if I wanted to be fashionable. I've never been able to completely let go of that comment. when I think of sewing since then, it's with less freedom (will it "measure up?"). something to work on! nice post<br />JuliaJuliaRuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078986627836901654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-41998288046830505892017-04-12T08:25:42.242-04:002017-04-12T08:25:42.242-04:00I wonder if the color has anything to do with it? ...I wonder if the color has anything to do with it? Blue is such a color of the earth, peaceful, calming. But what if you were to wear red everyday for 2 weeks?

There's a famous was it Coco Chanel quote. However, there's no doubt that I'd we are comfortable in what we're wearing we project a better image. Someone who is constantly tugging at their clothing or concerned about some flaw in it, not so. Then you do notice the clothes as you do if they really don't fit - bad fit that is not our imagined/overthought issues with slightly mismatched stripes etc. Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09932830885813917282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-47032030473146951612017-04-12T01:29:40.396-04:002017-04-12T01:29:40.396-04:00Great post and I totally agree, most of my non-sew...Great post and I totally agree, most of my non-sewing friends get quite annoyed at me when I point out the flaws in my makes!
