What's the fabric of your life?

Have you ever really thought about what's the true fabric of your life?

I know that denim is definitely not the fabric of my life. I can't honestly think of the last time I had a pair of jeans that actually fit me comfortably. In fact, not many people know this, but I dislike the word 'denim' immensely. So given all my issues with denim, it clearly and unequivocally can't be the fabric of my life.

I mostly wear skirts of various fabrics with my favorite skirt, made by my mother no less, being a mystery fabric. We think it's rayon, but neither of us can remember where or when we got it. I love it for many reasons, the color (mostly black with tiny white and lavender flowers on it), the fit (it's a very flattering wrap shirt), but mostly I love it because of the fabric. I can ball that skirt up any which way and that thing will not wrinkle! It's like magic fabric! If I could, I'd have shirts, skirts, and anything else I could think of, made out of that fabric.

In actuality, I guess my favorite fabric is cotton. I wear cotton shirts nearly every day. Most of the pants that I wear are a cotton/polyester blend.

So I guess, like the ad says, cotton really is the fabric of my life.

Now having said that and having planted the seed in your mind about your personal choice of fabric, here's a very funny video from CBS Sunday Morning about people who love ........corduroy. And, I'm not taking about the lovable bear in the children's books. I'm talking about the actual fabric.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
