A bunch of photos:

Today's outfit: A 2nd hand linen blouse, trousers from Heyday inherited from Anna's sister. They were given to Valeria when Sara (the sister) grew out of them, but I nicked them today (with Valeria's consent), a ten year old cardigan that I think was from H&M. The checked jacket I made this spring, the cap is knitted by me some years ago.

The cardigan is now way too big, so I have to tied it in front if I want to use it.

Since I have short legs the trousers are too long, but they fit Valeria as they are so I won't shorten them.

My latest article arrived in the mail yesterday. There's some very interesting other articles in this, the 2nd issue of 2017, of Costume too.

And I got the best idea for the first slide on a power point presentation for my lecture of fashion, body and gender through history:


 

Other updates: Berlin was nice, though I didn't get to see much of the actual city since I arrived late on Wednesday, spent two days indoors at the Kunstgewerbemuseum, from 10  am to 6 pm and caught the train back 7 am on Saturday. Being environmentally responsible means 12-13 hours of traveling instead of 1,5. But apart from sleeping too little the nights before traveling, and worrying about delays, since I had to change three times on the way,  I actually enjoyed the train trip.

Congratulations on the article!

And you look great :)

Thanks!

I am very excited whenever I have an article in print, it makes me feel like a real historian, not only a university teacher (which is great, but still).

That too bit cardigan looks great the way you're wearing it in the picture!

[frualeydis]

Thanks, I just wanted to be able to wear it still, but this actually looks better than when I could wear it in the normal way.

Cool look!

Also, I wish I could read your article, but there isn't a way without getting a subscription, is there?
