What connection does
a pair of pink tights have with being more assertive, confident, creative and
self-nurturing? Scads!!!
A few years ago, I
purchased an adorable pair of white Calvin Klein jeans at a clearance sale. I so could no wait to wear them, either! Problem was it was after Labor Day (huge sigh!).
But, guess
what? After a bit of thought,
I rocked them anyway; pairing the "controversial" item of my desire with a pair of black boots, a black turtleneck
and black/white houndstooth jacket.
How can I possibly remember this?
It is because this turned out to be a “breakout” outfit for me.
Wearing that pair of
white jeans post Labor Day forced me to be confident enough to do what I
wanted; without worry over others’ opinion of me. Fashion faux pas or not, I felt like a million bucks wearing
them! As a result, I’ve broken a
variety of fashion and other assorted “rules” since that time; feeling great about it each and every
time!
More recently, I’ve
been color blocking with tights (in a variety of hues and patterns—including
leopard print!). No one else,
where I work, is doing this, yet. But,
that’s fine with me. I do.! My
colorful, patterned tights let me mix up my wardrobe creatively. They also allow me to make a
statement—take a stand on my own behalf—without ever saying a word.
How can you layer
your life with more of what you want to do versus what others might expect you
should do? Would love to hear
about it! T.
