Episode #203: Clothing, Fashion, and Style!
Grace and Alvina talk about their relationship with clothes and how they define their style, and how it's changed over the years.
How have you been?
Grace returned from seeing Where the Mountain Meets the Moon on stage in Portland, OR. She had a lovely trip with Hazel. She went to a Japanese Bookstore in Portland called Kinokuniya.
Alvina’s sister-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer recently. Alvina and Stephen took one of her kids to the movies to see The Little Mermaid!
Fashion and Clothes!
This topic was inspired by the NY Times Style article: Carroll, Clothes, and Credibility: During the E. Jean Carroll v. Donald J. Trump rape trial, every detail was part of building the case. Even the clothes.
Grace and Alvina ask each other what they think each other’s style of clothing is! How have your styles changed over the years? What do you think our styles say about us? Do you have a favorite article of clothing?
