So, all this aside, I decided to wear something really comfortable and bring a bit of colour into...

T wo socks as soft   as rabbits.   I slipped my feet into them   as though into two cases   knitted with threads  of twilight and goatskin. Ode to my socks   Pablo Neruda  (1904-1973) High socks can make the difference between suffering or enjoying a walk in the snow. And this ones with a vintage look and tassels, are warm, pretty and funny. They deserve and ode. Los calcetines altos pueden hacer la diferencia entre disfrutar y sufrir una caminata en la nieve; estos con aires antiguos y borlas, son calentitos y hasta simpáticos. El jersey de lana cruda y súper cómodo, lo compre hace años en un mercado en Valparaiso y ha resistido varios inviernos desde entonces.

  Eras of Yves Klein The Era of the Deciding That Line Is Jealous Of Colour Line Is A Tourist In Space The Era of the Blue Obsession The Era of Making a Myth of Oneself The Era of Patenting International Klein Blue (henceforth IKB) The Era of the End of Gravity and Beginning of Levitation The Era of One-Minute Fire Paintings  Anne Carson   The Klein blue is a vibrant and charismatic color with an interesting history behind it and also , a bit difficult to wear. Although I am tempted sometimes to arrange some monochromatic outfit (a bit Yves Klein stuff) I rather balance it with some other neutral colors. Like a vintage gray coat and a wool Mexican rebozo .     El azul Klein es un hermoso color con una interesante historia detrás, aunque un poco difícil de combinar. Si bien de pronto se me antoja usar un atuendo totalmente monocromático (un poco Yves Klein) en general se equilibra otro color neutral. Como esta chaqueta vintage ...
