I purged my
wardrobe this summer. Much of what I had
was unfit to wear and some of it didn't fit anymore.
As I stood
in front of my closet deciding what to keep and what to give away or throw away
I made a list in my head of what I needed to replace when I can go shopping
again. Last year I replaced all my shoes
with flats and wider sizes...which is a whole other story.
It hasn't
always been this simple. There have been
many times over the years I have purged my closet not because my clothes didn't
fit...but because I didn't feel like I fit my clothes.
From child
to teenager, to adult...always trying to be fashionable or age appropriate
according to someone's standards other than my own.
I still see
an article almost daily on how women are supposed to dress for their size or
after the age of 40...50...60...etc.
So while I write
down my shopping list let me tell you my answer to that....don't tell ME how I
should dress...'appropriate' for you is your choice...but appropriate for ME is
mine.
AT THE END
OF THE DAY... go ahead...
SHOW YOUR COLORS
I love lilac colored flowers
Black is best for after hours
Yet Red’s the color that I choose
When shopping for a pair of shoes
Purple suits me very well
If I wear pink I never tell
But when I plan to dance all night
The color red is always right
Red is sassy
Red is bold
and I will never be too old
For red to be just right to wear
With
wrinkled skin and silver hair
