Chic After Fifty

So this is today, getting ready for the #selfieinthekitchen, with a need for comfort clothes.

Believe it or not, this morning I didn’t know what to wear. It is true that it is a strange season, warmer than it should be, and we are set for winter clothes that are in fact too warm. I tried a couple of dresses, but no, they didn’t work. So I reverted to a pair of old pants (Gap), an old cardigan (Matucci), an old T-shirt (Subdued), and my old Dr. Martens. And I realized these are my comfort clothes.

I am sure you have your comfort food, those things you eat when what you really need is a hug but you can’t have it at that moment. It could be a bowl of soup like the one you mother made you when you were hill, or biscuits or chocolate. One of my favourite comfort food are apples cooked in the oven, something my mother used to make me in winter, something to fight the cold and the darkness, something with a sweet smell that diffuses in the house… sweet memories, yes.

I am sure you have your comfort clothes. For me they are a pair of pants, a T-shirt and a sweater or cardigan, possibly borrowed or inherited from somebody I love! It is the way I have been dressed for years, everyday clothes when I was a student and then weekend and holiday clothes… Someway #50chic and #chicafter50.

Have a nice day!
