“As I've gotten older, I can look at myself more clearly and own the things that I'm good at and work on the things that I'm not. Like, I am not skinny. I know that if I were to lose a little weight I'd literally have more time in the morning because I know clothes would fit better. And now I can look at those things more practically. Instead of being like, "What does that say about me?," now I'm just like, "That would be great to sleep in an extra fifteen minutes because I wasn't trying on everything in my closet."” IfsKnowsTryingLooksLittlesDoeI CanWould BeLosesSleepMorningMinutesFitClothesWeightExtrasMore TimeFifteenClosetsSkinny Author:Mindy Kaling
“Dress has never been at all a straightforward business: so much subterranean interest and complex feeling attaches to it. As a topic ... it has a flowery head but deep roots in the passion. On the subject of dress almost no one, for one or another reason, feels truly indifferent: if their own clothes do not concern them, somebody else's do. ... Ten minutes talk about clothes (except between perfect friends) tends to make everyone present either overbearing, guarded or touchy.” IfsFeelsReasonFeelingsPassionInterestPerfectMinutesSubjectsTenClothesConcernRootsDressesComplexesIndifferentTopicsStraightforwardGuardedTouchyOverbearingDeep Roots Author:Elizabeth Bowen
“After modernism, things changed. Indeed, modernism sometimes seems to me like an equivalent of the Fall. Remember, the first thing Adam and Eve did when they ate the fruit was to discover that they had no clothes on. They were embarrassed. Embarrassment was the first consequence of the Fall. And embarrassment was the first literary consequence of this modernist discovery of the surface. "Am I telling a story? Oh my God, this is terrible. I must stop telling a story and focus on the minute gradations of consciousness as they filter through somebody's.” FirstsSometimesStoriesSeemsRememberFallConsciousnessFocusMinutesChangedTerribleClothesDiscoveryConsequenceFruitSurfaceAdamEmbarrassedThings ChangeEmbarrassmentModernismFiltersAdam And Eve Author:Philip Pullman
