I try to wear a relaxed, casual outfit that still looks dressed up. For example, I might wear a long denim skirt with a hand-painted or embroidered T-shirt. Or wear a pleated, print skirt that falls well, and a solid color blouse. I adore hand made jewelry and can usually find something striking to complement an outfit, maybe a formed-leather necklace, or some antique beads, or recently someone gave me a butterfly pin made of Belgian lace.

If I'm playing my zither or zither-harp, I have to make sure my skirt or slacks aren't made of a slippery material that will make it hard to keep hold of the instruments! -- But I tend to wear longish skirts rather than slacks. Now that I think of it, that may be because I want to hide the extra pounds where I sit....

I know a lot of women singers who are a treat to watch as well as listen to, partly because they always dress in gorgeous, ethnic-looking clothes and jewelry. They've been an influence on me. - Rita F
