About Me
- Alice Garbarini Hurley
- Montclair, New Jersey
- I'm Alice and I've been writing for most of my life--first, in a little green five-year diary my friend Lorraine gave me for Christmas in 6th grade, then for newspapers, magazines, websites and companies. I've blogged here, often daily, since Feb. 2010, trying hard to write truthfully even when it's scary. My husband and I are now freelance writers, so sometimes still we can afford salmon for dinner and sometimes we can't. Our daughter (blog name Figgy) is an artist and scientist in cyanobacteria algae research. The teen we are raising as legal guardians but have loved as our own (code name Punch/Skippy/Spice/Spike) is in high school. Our days range from sunny to sad, successful, sweet or funny.

🛌 hope your sleep was delicious! I like your belief of fashion as a shield. Me too, though I am kind of erratic. There’s a New England thing in me, like Anne Hathaway in devil wears Prada, that fashion is not a worthy thing to spend much time on. And I admire people who truly do not care.
ReplyDeleteBut in the total view of appearances count, I can’t easily change my face or body, but I sure as hell can put on cute earrings... I am sticking to my no new clothes rule for 2018, but that leaves vintage! I am getting a fitted tan jacket and a silvery gray cashmere sweater for my birthday. This has been a HUGE birthday with Hamilton, and getting my iPad screen replaced, and now clothes... Yay, 57! Enjoy a piece of cake with my twin!

Oh!fitted tan jacket and silvery gray cashmere sweater sound lovely! So are they vintage—from where? I am in awe of no new clothes for a year—even accessories? I don’t think I could do it. Happy, happy birthday, Liz! Enjoy, all the best. Love Alice
DeletePs but Dan was once helping me clean up my closet and said “You will never be able to wear all of the clothing you have over the course of your lifetime. I don’t understand how you can still buy more.” We are kind of style opposites, he and me.
