Getting so very excited for DC's Tweed Ride! Preparations have commenced (photo from Planet Claire's Blog):
Tweed, fitted suit: check!
Argyle socks: check!
Red, vintage, lace-up boots: check!
Cute vintage adornments: check!
Still on the look-out for an appropriate hair accessory for the seasonally inappropriate balmy 67 degrees expected on Sunday (hello climate change!).
The one operational issue that I am facing is the need to somehow roll up the extra wide legs of my trousers. Although I would look quite natty in my 3-piece tweed suit, the wide legs may make it difficult to bike the route (just released here). So, I think I have decided to wear knickers of some sort or a skirt (which will also allow me to display my quite rad red, vintage boots and argyle socks). However, I do not, at this point in time, own any knickers. And that is where the continually astonishing power of the Google comes in.

I have found several places online where there are easy peasy directions on making a pair of pants into knickers. So, if you are facing a similar conundrum, check out the links below - with some additional photos of outfit inspiration at the bottom. (Don't currently have a pair of pants to convert into jaunty knickers? Visit any local Goodwill for a truly amazing array of inexpensive options. Or, check out the Goodwill Travelin' Trunk show on Saturday being held at Greater Goods at 16th and U, NW. ) Hope to see you on Sunday!

It was the dawning of MJ not being on the basketball court—certainly an odd sight for all, and yet Tinker Hatfield believed so deeply in the Air Jordan line that he pushed for its release regardless. The IX featured a sleek upper with a lateral forefoot support story. Along the outsole, it will be Mark Smith’s graphic patterning that the IX is most remembered for – that and it being the shoe worn by Michael Jordan on the famous statue, front and center, outside of the United Center. If you disregard the fact he never actually wore the shoe in Bulls uniform, the IX really was a great shoe rooted in support, fit and the global celebration of basketball. Full-grain leather upper with perforation for breathability Leather wrapped cupsole with full-length Air-Sole unit for cushioning Rubber outsole for excellent traction
