I remember what I wore for Easter when I was in 2nd Grade.
My Mother used to sew A LOT of our clothes back then…even our bathing suits.(that's a whole other story!)
That Easter, my Mother made capes for me and my little sister to wear over our dresses. Mine was petal pink and my sister’s was pastel yellow. So cute!
My Mother said that it took her until 2AM Easter morning to finish them in time!
This is a picture of us with our parents that morning. (Mom’s looking true to the early 70’s look, for sure.) This picture of us will always be embedded in my memory.
Our dresses were nice too, but the other items that I remember wearing with that cape were black patent leather dress shoes and a matching round purse with a handle.
In my young mind, that put my style over the top! I felt so special.
Many times, it’s not just the outfit, but the accessories that boost the look and the way we feel about it.
Do you remember a time, when you were very young, and you started feeling the way dressing affected you in an uplifting way? I hope so.
Do you have that feeling today when you get dressed for a special occasion or event?
To walk into a room feeling happy, confident and empowered is the BEST!
You walk a little stronger, hold your head a little higher and have an easy smile. There’s just a look about you that everyone notices when you feel that you look your best.
What can you change today to bring that feeling back?
Cheers!
