There’s nothing like an upcoming trip to make one’s wardrobe seem woefully inadequate.     My wardrobe is perfectly adequate for my day-to-day life.  Lots of printed skirts to the knee, colorful t-shirts and various-colored sandals for daily errands; big t-shirts and shorts and cropped pants for indoor and outdoor housework; bike shorts and tank tops for working out. But for traveling?  For sitting comfortably for hours on an overseas flight, and walking all day in an open-air museum? (Yes, I’m finally going to tell that woman I want her job!) For traversing the mud-flats off the coast of Brittany? For visiting cathedrals and monasteries and castles?   Did I mention I really only want to bring one pair of shoes?  One all-purpose, neutral-colored, comfortable, rugged pair of shoes that will also look just fine with a skirt.   Can it be done?    I suspect a very serious shopping expedition is in order.  Serious, not mammoth, or frivolous, or bank-account depleting.  Serious as in a hunt for just the right things, which, when it comes down to it is just another exercise in imagination.    comment []5:04:25 PM
