I can't decide between caftan ... in case I eat too much Kale-and-Black-Eyed-Pea soup that I'm making as a traditional Southern New Year's Eve 'Good Luck' meal, or ... a simple leather jacket and hoop skirt, without the skirt.
I like the caftan, but then again I'm kinda fat. It looks a bit too summery for the weather, though. At least the leather jacket makes up for the lack of skirt in the other one.
One word Kale!! Really!! Maybe if you do something to it but I tried a fresh Kale salad once and it was like eating straw, sandpaper...You get the point. It was rough. The texture was all off. Enjoy!!
Leather caftan?, oh Bobulah no! Cow tarp ain't the way to go, winter or no winter! Oh the sweat, the body funk, the all out discomfort....., sorry I kinda passed out for a moment.
The leather hoopskirt with no skirt, and the leather pants. No jacket. You'll be too hot. Or for immediate access, the caftan. (I always spelled mine with a K. Yeah, I actually had one in the '70s.)
Sadly, no pic exists as far as I know (I actually thought about that last night when I commented). It was unbleached muslin, lightweight and really comfortable!
Hmmm... around here we
ReplyDeleteopt for jammies.
xoxo :-)
Both would look stunning on you, Bob.
ReplyDeleteGo with the caftan, you'll find it easier to sit down.
ReplyDeleteGold might suit you better
ReplyDeleteI like that second guy's "look," but I'm not sure how comfortable (or practical) it is.
ReplyDeleteI'll be wearing the second myself...so thanks goodness your luckily in SC.
ReplyDeleteSweats here unless we go out to walk the dog...jeans and coat and gloves, etc.
ReplyDeleteP.S. My opinion: The "fashion" industry is not for real people.
What? No skirt? The skirt IS the look.
ReplyDeleteIs that Keiynan Lonsdale? ohhhh.
XOXO
Definitely the hoop skirt. Sexy and enforces six feet apart.
ReplyDelete@TDM
ReplyDeleteJammies??? I never!!! =)
@Debra
Thank you. :::blush:::
@Dave
True dat.
@Helen
I do look good in gold ...
@Steve
You're right. After a certain age, I should think about comfort.
@MM
I could rock either look in SC ... perhaps a mid-dinner reveal???
@FRank
Sweats??? I always dress for dinner! =)
@Six
For me the illusion of skirt is the look. And, yes, good eye, that is Keiynan Lonsdale.
@Boots
ReplyDeleteGood on you for reminding me to social distance!

ReplyDeleteWhy wear anything at all? Share the magic that is you.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could wear the caftan over the hoop skirt?
ReplyDeletecaftan! room and then some! easier to sit down too.

ReplyDelete@Deedles
ReplyDeleteYou make a very valid point. If only I could find a leather caftan ....
@uptonking
I like the idea, but then I might spill hot food in my lap and it's a whole different kinda night!
@Alan Scott
You may be onto something.
@AM
True, and I'm serving my Homemade Cornbread with my Black-Eyed Peas so I may need that extra room!.
@VRCooper
ReplyDeleteThe Kale is cut into strips and cooks with the soup. It takes the place of collard greens. Seriosuly, it is good!

ReplyDeleteHoney,
ReplyDeleteI definitely see you in the caftan. It drapes gracefully over a mature figure (think Liz Taylor's caftan years).
Whatever you decide, please stay safe and accessorize with a mask and bottle of hand sanitizer and some Clorox wipes.
@Deedles
ReplyDeleteSheesh, again you're right, but if I spilled the food would slide right off!!
@Mitchell
I need a pic of Kaftan Mitchell!
@Anon
The caftan is built for safety ...all those fabric folds.
Sadly, no pic exists as far as I know (I actually thought about that last night when I commented). It was unbleached muslin, lightweight and really comfortable!
