I like to dress in light beige and cream clothes because it makes me feel like I’m a pot of clotted cream or perhaps whipped cream or a toffee mousse and I love those foods. I like to dress in light beige and cream clothes because it feels like a rebellion against having small children who will inevitably paw at my joggers with sticky fingers and leave mud marks down my leg when they insist on being carried by me even though they are now far too big. I like to dress in light beige and cream clothes because it’s a risk: will I slip in the mud, pour coffee down my front or wipe my pink lipstick on the collar as I pull on the cream (fake) cashmere jumper? I like to dress in light beige and cream clothes because these are the hues of my current capsule wardrobe, which saves me time on getting dressed so I can spend it writing and playing the piano instead.
