Beaded Babe here reporting live...
(always wanted to say that...sounds important!!! ;)
So now that the New Year is here, we've got a fresh start at hanging out the boring in our lives and making it a little more spicy! While not insensitive to the economic climate and what it has meant to many, I am optimistic about the challenge we are presented with here. We are somewhat forced to experience our lives, each other, and our material possessions outside of what money alone can buy.
We are forced to look at what our own true priorities are, and self reflect for a little depth in our creations, whatever your craft may be. As a designer, I will say, my creativity has been stretched. Why is it, in a recession, retailers are so loyal to black? Now, don't get me wrong, black can be classic, flattering and timeless (in the right cuts), however, in day to day wear, there is little setting our ensembles apart. Dare I say, it is our resourcefulness and our very individuality that gets us through these trickier times, and we need to celebrate this!!!! Take something boring and usual, and splash a little of yourself on it! A plain white tank top can become a work of art and a great conversation starter with the hottie buying a latte just a head of you at your morning coffee run. All fun aside, lets out with the old, and in with the bold!!!!!!
