Like a Boss*

After viewing my workwear ensemble yesterday morning, I felt uncomfortably like a brownshirt, but it was too late to pick out a new outfit and I didn't want to wake [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick by rustling around in the closet. This is a long and unnecessary story to explain why today's xkcd was especially funny to me.

Because goddamn, the Nazis were super sharp dressers in addition to being amazing scientists and horrifying monsters. And speaking of clothing and fashion, today is [livejournal.com profile] auroraceleste's Creative Chat Day. So!

This Week's Topic:

What is your favorite fabric to work with?

I love working with lightweight wool, even though I don't use it very often. It's so solid and comforting. I love how forgiving it is, how it stays where you want it and doesn't shift under your scissors or between the foot and feed dogs. I love how you can almost sculpt with it, given the appropriate application of steam and pressure.

Although I do not like winter (at all), I vastly prefer fall/winter fashion. If I could live somewhere that never got below freezing, but still had temps in the 40s and 50s during the winter months, that would be fantastic. Does such a place exist? Because I'd be all over that. Hello, my lovely jackets and boots! How wonderful to wear just them and not cover up with scarves, coat, and multiple layers of stockings/socks/legwarmers.
