SPRING HAS SPRUNG

It is Spring and the colorful spring flowers such as the happy yellow daffodils, are everywhere to be seen. They are heralding in warmer weather and hopefully a less restricted summer than last year. What a difference a year makes!

The arrival of Spring is a reminder from nature that everything is in the process of changing. The end of one season leads us into the start of another with all its joys and delights. Everything is in a constant process of becoming and so are we.

If you have read my book, you will know that I am passionate about the need for us as older women to take care of ourselves, physically as well as emotionally. Caring for ourselves include a well curated wardrobe.

You will know from my writings that I am a firm believer that clothing is an extension of who we are. Clothes are therefore so much more than merely covering our bodies. How and what we choose to wear is a great source of personal expression and a powerful tool in non-verbal communication.

Spring is the perfect time to stop and take stock of our clothes and how it resonates with what we want to communicate to the world outside and having the right garments to do so. Therefore, the question is whether it is a wardrobe fit for purpose?

Auditing our wardrobes at the start of Spring is therefore a great opportunity to reflect on who we are, the message we want to communicate through our clothes and whether the garments in our wardrobes enhance and contribute to the overall story we want to share.

Color is the start of any wardrobe as it has a powerful psychological impact on how we feel about ourselves and the messages we communicate to others. It is also the first step in designing a wardrobe that includes only items that enhance and amplify our good points.

My invitation to you therefore is to consider the changes you may want to bring about at the start of Spring. As the saying goes, there is no time like the present!
