Its raining today and I've managed to stay dry through my 2 mile walk from my pad to the store. Wearing a pinkish tweed coat and equestrian slacks protected by a giant plaid umbrella it occurred to me specifically why fashion is important.
What you wear petty much determines the flow of chi in your body for the day... A floral jacket versus a tweed coat for example. Both cool and amazing and yet each express two very different moods. The tweed makes me feel serious and Katherine Hepburn like.. There's an air of old school Hollywood mixed with punk is what it's all about. To have a little fun and spunk and be serious enough to accomplish what ever it is you must accomplish for the day...
The tweed works: To get to the store and look lavish simultaneously.
I open the store and my eyes catch glimpse of a variety of colors and styles of clothing and accessories all scattered through out the store that seem both playful and fun: "I wanna have fun today!" is the first thought that comes to mind.. "I want to feel happy and vibrant" in spite of the gloomy rain out there.
What to do?
Itunes blasting french pop music "Bardot" singing a 60s pop anthem. It's feeling less rainy and more sunny already :O)
hmm... scoping out the entire store it stares at me:
The piece pictured on our lovely model above is especially made by cherry pick and is a one size fits all .... A dreamy delicate head piece made of vintage beads and a classy dainty gold plated chain handmade with love! Very boho chic and circa 60's its both ethereal and not of this world.. I can't remember the last time i saw some one wearing one of these..
The subtle vintage turquoise beads hanging from the sides accents the face slightly and brings a little color to the face.. There's a little hint of Cleopatra in there also which makes it more versatile and exotic.
Imagine a matching eye shadow! wow what a difference a little color makes!
So here i am out of my wet tweed coat and now a 60's flower child. My mood is uplifted and i imagine myself sitting around a bonfire with jimmy Hendrix sipping coco!
The flow of chi in my body is no longer earth bound. I'm traveling time and space and it doesn't even matter what the day brings. My promise to myself: be happy now and not worry about the chaos for a minute.
Is fashion necessary?
Absolutely!
So whether its raining or sunny get out there have some fun and strut your stuff cause today is the day and it doesn't matter what the weather or your life circumstance is like! Get out of your head and into your heart!
