You can never have enough...

I spent a lifetime being boring about clothes. Being boring about lots of things really, I think a lot of it was because I was a fifties girl child and while we watched and learned from all the social changes happening as we grew up, we were conditioned early to not make waves, to play nicely, and be quiet people in dress among other ways. And I did all that, mistakes, disasters, and all -sort of, with small rebellions, up until all of a sudden there was just me left with no responsibilities, no one to be well behaved for. And it was a revelation, a kind of awakening. And a really low point in what has been an 'interesting' life, lol.

So, I was faced with choices, and from among them I decided to follow my heart, say yes to new things, maybe scary risky things, and to see if I could live a different kind of life. A more creative one, a more self focused one, a less careful one. A taking control kind of one. And so far, I have few regrets about taking hold of that freedom, because it is a freedom to be in sole charge of my life with no one else to worry about. Including something as inconsequential as what I wear and why. Inconsequential, but great fun. And boy, have I had fun, because some of those choices have been much bigger than what I wear, but in the end, have given me exactly the same pleasure as a hand stitched and embellished second hand jacket...
