Inspired by cobblestones

This week I am inspired by walking on cobblestones, of wearing a swing coat while passing by a glamorous palace-turned hotel in Istanbul. On my blog, Love, Rose, I describe a walk along the Bosphorus last Sunday and what I saw. Like an earlier post on being inspired by locations, knowing I was to have brunch with friends along the water set the stage for what I would wear. Some days, when the sky here is gray, and the pigeons cluck around while waiting for seeds, it seems ideal for poetry, for reinventing oneself and only a black coat and black boots will do.

I hope wherever you are, whether your January is overcast and snowy, or bright blue and warm, that it suits your mood and most of all, that you have the exactly the right attire to enjoy it.

Oh thank you! This is a beautifully eloquent post and the kind I really enjoy reading and thinking, “I know her. She’s just like me.” I have the black coat and boots and right now, it does seem just right, just before the phoenix emerges I think.

I love that feeling of synchronicity! So glad we’re on the same wavelength… Enjoy!
