To Each His Own

Everyone has their own style of ease.  These are the pieces and looks that we love and would probably wear almost every day if a certain amount of social decency weren't necessary.  For some it is the perfect blouse, that goes with any skirt or pair of jeans, and always looks fresh.  For others, it is a pair of well loved jeans that could be upwards of ten or even twenty years old, which have fared well as trusted companions throughout the highs and lows of every fashion trend.  I have one such pair of jeans (ok I have about five such pairs of jeans) and I really would wear them almost every day if I weren't so concerned that they were going to eventually disintegrate on me.  But its nice to have the comfort of knowing that they are always there if I need them.  Hopefully you, too, have a trustworthy clothing friend?  If not, make a new friendship now that could last a lifetime.

Show Him You Care

Tomorrow is the day that, though he knows it all year long, we like to show Dad just how truly great he is.  We love him for who he has been, what he has done, how he has loved us, and that he will always be there for us.  You could express all of this gratitude by giving him something like, say, a tie?  But that seems just a little bit underwhelming, all things considering.  What about a watch, to always remind him of all of the good times you have had (I am sorry, that was cheesy!), or a hat for his favorite team, to make him think of the games that you enjoyed together?  Constant reminders like those seem a sure way to his heart, even though you can be sure you are already in it.

Deeper Than Blue

Image from Wikipedia

Blue is the color of...? Different things to different people.  Serenity. Calm. Sadness.  Why sadness? That emotion has never connected with that color for me.  So I looked it up.  Turns out the association of the color blue with sadness is very old indeed.  From Greek mythology in fact.  Zeus would make rain when he was sad, it was told, and, as blue is often seen as a representation of water, thus the phrase "feeling blue".  Other origins also exist, including an equally compelling account from the nautical world, all of which can be read here.

Nevermind these phrases though, for I do not feel sad when I see the color blue.  Rather, to me, it means true, clear, refreshing purity.  Such crystal-clearness that only peace comes to mind. 

What does blue mean to you?

See Through Soul

Behind everything, there is something else.  Often we take pains to cover up completely, even when its not fully necessary.  The depth and intrigue created on the back of this shirt really ask for it to be admired.   Lace has its place in certain applications and often, sadly, looks nothing more than outdated.  But here, in a back panel, it is quite fresh, without a single hint of antiquity.  Plus, being in the back, it makes for a much more wearable way of exposing unexpected skin. 

How often is it that you look better going than coming?
