Had a wonderful little discussion this afternoon with an older friend about how important it is to begin each day by "putting one's Self together". Its a ritual that many women, and men, have somehow lost. Myself included. Well, I didn't actually lose it.... I misplaced it! chuckle My life has become so crammed full of "stuff" to do, that I've neglected to give myself the time necessary for that morning ritual of dressing. Preparing oneself for the day ahead, regardless of what it might bring.
"I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little ~ if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And its always best to be as pretty as possible for destiny." ~ Coco Chanel
Since I'm intent upon reorganizing and transforming my life, I feel that its essential to reintroduce this as soon as possible!
Its going to take a while for me to organize my clothes and such. I'm going to HAVE to dig out my sewing machine and reacquaint myself with it. Have quite a few clothes to be mended, altered and "recreated". This ought to be loads of fun! But that will take some time... so first I'll focus on a dressing table. I don't have one, but.... I do have an old sewing machine cabinet out in the storage shed. That should do nicely for now. A little later I'll find someone who can modify it. It will need a drawer added and I'll have to figure out how to finish the top of it. Wood or perhaps a beveled piece of marble. Oh, there I go getting ahead of myself again. First step is cleaning it up and getting it inside!!! And I'll need a mirror. Thankfully I have plenty of those and will just have to chose which one, then put it up on the wall.
Will have to seriously consider what my personal style is, or is going to be! Just went over to Pinterest and checked out my board titled 'Fashion for my Crone Years'. I see I've collected a lot of long flowing, layered looks. So guess that's where I'll start. But I have to consider that its Summer in Florida and I need to stay as cool as possible! haha Oh my, this is going to be interesting!
