It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...
Style is as unique as we are as individuals. You can dress up any outfit or dress it down when you are working with simple, elegant pieces. Frou Frou is too much work for me...I'm happiest pairing pieces that work well together and then choosing accessories to make an outfit "pop" -- shoes, hand bags, jewelry, scarves....it's all in how you "feel" in what you wear that makes it stylish!
ReplyDeleteSherry - Thanks so much for your comments - I feel exactly the same way - I love a fun handbag, jewelry - a nice scarf - Sometimes I put the scarf on the handbag - LOL - Just so great to feel like "You" :)
ReplyDeleteI love to wear dresses. Not that I wear them all the time, but that's my favorite. I feel really like "Me" in a dress. But I agree with you girls, it should be a simple one, accessorized with a nice piece of jewelry or a scarf. I think accessory makes a difference, it shows our taste and style. :)
ReplyDeleteI love big linen...cropped linen pants a tee shirt and some kind of lineny or gauzy jacket...and some earrings and a necklace maybe...thank you for asking...
ReplyDeletethere are ruffled bloomers and a dress I covet on Etsy, but cannot quite afford yet...
I'd like to thank you also for your blog visit and sharing your story...knowing there are others thinking of me really does ease the pain of loosing my sweet fur baby.
