Fun With Style

I've been struggling a bit with my health challenges lately and I'm trying to find ways to cultivate joy in the midst of the struggle. Food fun is out (damn allergies and weird autoimmune reactions) and travel fun is out (it's the absolute worst thing for my migraines), so yeah, I have to work with what I've goAnd what I've got is a closet full of clothes.

And before you judge me for this reality, just remember, you probably have resources and outlets for joy that I don't have. Clothes are fun for me and personal style is a form of creative exploration that I truly do enjoy on a daily basis.

But, yes, I do very much care about our earth so I try to reduce my carbon footprint in other ways.

Life can be rough so we all have to find ways to create joy and sparkle wherever we can get it.

So here's today's outfit:

Black blouse

Black mini skirt

Black boots

Snake necklace

Hoop earrings

Fun rings on five of my fingers (because the more rings, the more fun)

Pink nail polish

Pink lipstick

I'm not planning on giving links for any of my outfits because I really don't want this to turn into any kind of business for me. I just want to have fun with it, so no links. Hopefully you can use your trusted search engine if you want to find something similar.

Here's to cultivating joy in this messy, beautiful world!

With love,

A note about my social values: I recognize that not every person has access to the resources needed to be able to cultivate a life of peace, beauty, and joy, which is why I will always support systems and people who are doing the work to move toward a world that supports the basic needs and rights of all people. I believe that "the true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members." - Gandhi
