So, I popped into the thrift shop this morning and got an off-white blouse for my concert - I never get around to sewing one because I don't really want one that much, I just need it once a year for the fall concert - and picked one out without trying it on. Got home and tried it, and it fits, which is cool! It has shoulder pads. I think it looks cute even with, or possibly because of, them. But I can't tell if we've collectively moved past the intense disgust for '80s fashion, or if I have just borked my sense of what would look normal to other people by overexposure to vintage/historical fashion. But anyway, I'll be wearing my '40s skirt so it should look right together.

Have to figure out what to do for the candlelight service in a few weeks - we're supposed to wear a red or green top for that, and I typically wear a red or green sweater over a camisole or something, but the sweater is always way too hot under the lights. Part of me thinks I should just go back to the thrift store next week and look for a red or green blouse, but part of me thinks I should buy some charmeuse and make a view A or maybe C, this is a pretty simple pattern. Okay, well, I just bought some from FFC because I am a gold-plated fool.

Edit: Oh yes! I remembered last night that I do have a teal shirt I made several years ago out of rayon? jersey. So I wrote to FFC to cancel the order and hopefully they will.
