Caroline Days 23-Thoreau was one smart man

Tuesday: I wore my blue dress as an actual dress. This is the fourth time I've worn this dress, but the other 3 times I wore it as a skirt. It's funny because I've worn this dress maybe 10 times since I bought it 2-3 years ago. Who knew it was so versatile?










Wednesday: Kinda lazy. Jeans, t-shirt, the cardigan dresses it up a little. I've never worn a cardigan with a t-shirt before, but this is now one of my favorite looks.
















Thursday: jeans and hoodie. This is my first time wearing a hoodie this fall! It's so exciting to wear a hoodie for the first time. Of course, I'll be bored of them come November. My cool autumn day was made even better by the dinning hall who served pumpkin-apple soup. That's right, not only am I trying new clothes combinations, I'm trying new food combinations as well.


Now, let's finish things off with some quotes by Thoreau. I'm currently reading Walden, and last night I read the section where he talks about clothes.

"Kings and queens who wear a suit but once, though made by some tailor or dressmaker to their majesties, cannot know the comfort of wearing a suit that fits...Every day our garments become more assimilated to ourselves, receiving the impress of the wearer's character..."

"No man ever stood the lower in my estimation for having a patch in his clothes; yet I am sure that there is greater anxiety, commonly, to have fashionable, or at least clean and unpatched clothes, than to have a sound conscience."

"Perhaps we should never procure a new suit, however ragged or dirty the old, until we have so conducted, so enterprised or sailed in some way, that we feel like new men in the old, and that to retain it would be like keeping new wine in old bottles."
