Marching Forth

I've always thought March Fourth a commanding day: Go forth ... and step to it! So it seemed a good day to make a return to blogland after an unintentional break (let's just say the trail took a bad turn and let's just say it didn't make for a good look lol).

Though not the Shrimp Creole/Pork Chop Tchoupitoulas/Bread Pudding Soufflé with Whiskey Sauce
I had at Commander's Palace more than two decades ago, it's today's colorful lunch. Yummy.
It's also Mardi Gras, a day for celebration a day for a people party a day for purple so why not a post? (And I'm not masquerading to keep you in the dark about why I've been MIA, I'm only protecting the worry stones of someone very dear. It'd serve no positive purpose for him to know. Even if things turned out OK.)
Getting back to purple, and posts.

These are full brogues aka wingtips. They are pretty perfect.
One could easily post on what makes perfect shoes or why brogues are brogues
and what makes them full, semi, quarter or longwing ...
It was cool enough today to wear a sweater, so a purple one was in order (the colors are more intense IRL). I love the pattern and it's of good cashmere. {sigh I know I am so very very ovdue on that cashmere exposé I've promised, yet another post to come} It's way oversized as this is XXS, think it's an intended look. {another post idea: what is TTS?} I liked it and the look is better IRL even if I couldn't get a good OOTD selfie.
If the reverse side of a sweater looks anything like the above, be very gentle when pulling it on or off. Especially if over a shirt and for heaven's sake don't be wearing rings or bracelets while doing so. The yarn can easily catch on a button or a piece of jewelry and break if you continue the process. Speaking from experience.

Speaking of experience, 100% attention 100% of the time when driving (dad was is right, don't take anything for granted).
 
Give me another P ... some patience. It will take a little time to catch up with all of you. I've missed you, my friends.

    Hello Tiffany,

    Positively purple and positively perfect! The shoes look wonderful on you and just the right combination of style, colour, sensibility and amusement. They will surely become a best friend and be worn to death.

    And, can anything be nicer than cashmere. We do not think so. Such a lovely fabric to be worn next to the skin and keeps one warm or cool depending. Fabulous.

      Jane and Lance, you must not had experience with bad cashmere, then, and thank goodness you've been spared that. There is nothing nicer than the good stuff.

      You've described the purple shoes perfectly and we became fast friends on first wearing. Thank you.

      Oh no, so sorry you've had many headaches this winter but so pleased the lavender hydrosol helped some. I've been playing around with some nice plant-based remedies and may have a good suggestion ... emailing you.

    You are perfect in purple Tiffany Rose. I am curious about the shoes, I love a classic wingtip and purple is my weakness.

    Sad to hear that you've had some recent difficulty. I hope that everything is fully-mended, including your spirits. Happy to see you again.

      Hi xoxo, I'd have rushed to tell you about the purple wingtips if there were more but I got the last pair from my shoe source yoox. You'd love them, with superior material and workmanship they feel as good as they look.

      I am sorry I missed your big event but hope to catch a detail here and there with you. Not fully mended yet but I'm very grateful for being so blessed and doing so well.
