Lucky Sevens

Sevens bring luck in casinos.  Usually the only jackpot bigger than a string of sevens is the ever elusive set of cherries.  But we like the sevens.  We'll take the sevens.  Life exists beyond the blacked out walls of those gambler's paradises and in other realms the number seven is associated with equally good things.  The day of rest, in religion.  A particularly lucky life, in numerology.  Of course, there is always the bad to counter the good, and just as we want the sevens in slots, it is nearly forbidden to say the word seven at a craps table.  And, in religion, seven can also be seen to represent the seven layers of hell.  Tarot gives one interpretation of the Seven of Diamonds to be futility, working hard for nothing. 

So, which is it?  Do we like seven or do we hate it?  I guess it depends on just what it is you believe in.

And speaking of the Seven of Diamonds, 7 Diamonds shirts are the exact opposite of a futile endeavor.  You have to do no work to achieve maximum results, a.k.a. looking totally on point.  The cut of the shirts is completely flattering, and the various plaid prints really allow you to bring these shirts from daytime work into nighttime play. 

Is seven your lucky number?

Color Me Blind

Full Color Spectrum - Image Courtesy of MyOpera

As we exist, we see the world in color.  If it was our fate to only see in black and white, then perhaps the ordinary shades of denim would do just fine forever and ever.   But how can we forgo the millions of opportunities to color ourselves perfect.  Through scientific research we know that shades of red cause the heart to race faster while shades of blue release tension in the body.  Even more curious, the body cannot cause itself to get angry in the presence of pink.  The list goes on, each unique color having its own individual effect on us.  Read HERE and HERE for more.

So why exactly would we choose to live our lives without the thrills and awe of color?  It is hard for me to imagine life in any other way but with a full spectrum.  Jeans included.  

Paige, Fidelity, AG, DL1961 - these brands are all wise to the brilliance we need in our lives.  There is even color for men, who also live in this world of ROYGBIV. 

Shop The Denim Lounge for the most brilliant shades of denim this side of the invisible spectrum.

   

Mixed Emotions

We all know that the seasons change.  Time goes on, and though we are prepared, we are seldom ready.   Who wants think more seriously about work (even though we don't get summers off of work, our minds do seem to travel more during these hot months)?  Who really wants to start waking up early again for school?  It is inevitable but often unwelcome.  However, the nice thing about the summer ending is that with it, the heat goes.  Cool fall mornings will soon be rolling in and thankfully with that mercurial drop electric bills will also fall.  Something else sweet?  Summer sales.  The season's final farewell always, as expected, brings us deals that last far longer than the short season from whence they came.
