| I wore this to a meeting and the pants sure got some attention! |
Aprés-summer is rolling in with the daily fog. But the other day, the sun was glorious, and I was able to pull the ouch-give-me-my-sunglasses pants out. The trousers certainly arrived at the meeting way before the rest of me did. (Note: Silicon Valley style is rather relaxed.)
This is a quick and penitent hello. I have truly been missing all your blogs and creative inspiration. You know what it is to have your hands in way too many pots? Were I an octopus, I'd still be needing extra tentacles. (My husband wonders whether my cephalopod approach to life is a character asset or flaw!) A good friend and I were discussing how one life is just not enough for everything we want to do. Reincarnation actually sounds appealing.
Which do you think is better: 1) Jack-of-all-trades, master of none, or 2) expert on a most esoteric subject?
eccentric jack of all trades!
ReplyDeleteand those pants are fabulous!
love them! happy and fabulous!
ReplyDeleteFun pants.
ReplyDeleteI'd prefer to be jack-of-all trades but not all "trades" at once. That way one can be an esoteric expertise, too, while mastering one thing at a time. So I'd like to think.. ;)
I vote for reincarnation, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ReplyDeleteSuch a pleasure to see you, my dear friend in those glorious colous.

Nice to see you in those bold trousers! I love them! Hhmm, perhaps jack of all trades + esoteric expertise, lol. :) Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all - the trousers are wonderful. I'd call them 'Summer-Don't-Go' pants. I'm more the 'sticking to one thing with intensity' (until I get bored) person... but or because of this I very much admire the Jack of all Trades :)

I'm going to adopt that expression if I may - "a cephalopod approach to life" - definitely a character asset in my book, not a flaw. Phenomenal print trousers too, really vibrant and feel-good.
ReplyDeleteCan't help being slightly mesmerised by the height of the windows/doors(?) in the background too and the hint of vista soaring away.
I think being an expert in a chosen field could lead to greatness and deep satisfaction in what you've achieved (but that is never a guarantee)- but a jack of all trades/cephalopod approach to life is probably a lot more fun x
ReplyDeletei was just dropping by to see what’s new and say hello… :)

Oh I do love a statement piece. It is good you were shaking up relaxed silicon valley with these. As to your question Mmmmm. I see myself as a bit of a Jack and a Master. So does that make me Master Jack ;-)? Xxxx
ReplyDeleteI think that young people in particular have so much creativity and scope for potential career paths that they often feel swamped and are not sure which path to pursue-making them jack of all trades; but I suppose with age and maturity we will all hopefully achieve proficiency in an area we feel inspires us to be great at. I think I must be describing my unorganised mind! :D
ReplyDeleteLove your trousers...and the view!
