What are you wearing today (2025)?

Sat outside the hotel waiting for Mr SSOAP cos my key has stopped working.
Today’s pick in these high temps is a Willow pattern smock dress. It’s made of extremely soft thin cotton and perfect for wafting around in holiday mode 😂

I scored me some sweet corduroys a couple of weeks ago, for a pittance:

…and yes, that means it’s time for another installment of, “You Probably Didn’t Know This, But…”

You probably didn’t know this, but Neil Diamond’s classic hit “Sweet Caroline” actually started out as a love song to his favorite fabric:

Out at the mall
Mindlessly shoppin' for nothin',
Just wastin' time on a Saturday.
Into a shop,
Not expectin' much but
What's that I see? Will it flatter me?

Clothes...
Touchin' clothes...
Reachin' out...
Touchin' cloth... touchin' skin...

Sweet corduroy!
These trousers feel both soft and rough.
I'll be the boy
Who buys them all, I can't get enough!

“Neil, baby, that’s great, but can we make it about a girl?”

There's a reason they are cheap cords???
