Evolution


Purple Gypsey was noting changes in her style recently and the changes seemed to apply to improved self-understanding. I understand this feeling completely.

My closet started evolving four months ago.
Looking back, it seems like I was always looking to the opinions of others
even if the asking was only in my head.
Now I'm starting to seek my opinion only and stand up for myself
when faced with criticism.
It's a hard habit to break.
It's an even harder art to achieve.
I am beginning to like my closet better.

I don't think I'm talking solely about style anymore.

You go, girl!

Standing up for yourself is one of the hardest lessons ever to put into practice. I'm not surprised you are feeling great about your newfound style these days.

"Growing pains" aren't called "pains" for nothing I guess - lol! Lovely words about coming into one's own. XOX Deb

My style is hippie clothes....always.
Whether it's in style or not, I'm simply not comfortable in anything but flowing cotton tops with embroidery or little beads on them
Jeans or bohemian skirts to the floor.
Great post! And LOVE the pic!

funny that you should mention this - I too seem to be going through some kind of change - I feel alot more settled, which is good, right?
there is a wonderful bach flower remedy for those of us who look to others for opinions.. I take it regularly, maybe that is what is helping me
blessings & much love to you at easter xo

I've recently given some clothes to charity, because they don't suit me anymore - as you said, evolving style, evolving everything. xo

Good for you, Annie! You have to stand up for yourself or no one else will.

Hope you Holy Week is blessed and your Easter glorious.

I feel we grow wiser with age and my poochy midriff gives me wisdom!
Instead of a golden blonde that I maintained for years with the help of a colorist I am mostly a ~silver fox~ now!
100 percent chemical free!I feel liberated!!hugs Ng
Happy Easter Annie!
