There are a thousand reasons why I love fashion. But perhaps the most important one, the reason that makes me love it the most...is because it makes me FEEL good.
Fashion is one of my Top 5 Personal Priorities that make my world healthy and whole.
1. Diet -- eating mostly unprocessed foods.
2. Sleep -- at the same time every night, for 8 hours.
3. Excersize -- every day. Nothing crazy, but at least an hour.
4. Feng Shui -- not officially, but taking the time to clear out ALL unnecessary clutter, and only keep that which is functional and looks beautiful. Very important. Beauty stimulates peace. Clean, clear surfaces and bright windows, organized spaces, soft fabrics.
5. Fashion -- a personal feng shui. A clean, uncluttered, beautiful, soft, colorful, relaxing, sensual wardrobe can put you in the same frame of mind. This feeling is particularly delicious in summer. I find that the warmth of the new summer sun and the lush feeling of full growth, of relaxing after a long winter and spring -- informs my fashion choices. If I wear the fabrics and colors that complement this feeling, then no matter what I'm doing I feel happy.
Some of my favorite, and most delightful summer fabrics are: soft organic cottons, slinky rayons, whisper-soft silks. Also light linen, hemp, and viscose. These fabrics are natural, breathable, and float against the skin.
Wearing the clothes that fit my best frame of mind helps make that frame of mind a reality!
Happy Summer!
