Tip of the Day 2/29/12

Now that you have decided what clothing to keep as your wardrobe it is time to determine if it is wearable and useful. Take some time to try on combinations of clothing adding jewelry and accessories to crate some great looks. Be bold and step out of your normal go-to's. Think images from ads or commercials of combos that appeal to you and try creating your own version. As you go through the process make a list of items that would help create the look you are going for. Maybe a new pair of gold hoop earrings, a new color cami or top, or a certain color scarf would be the finishing touch to the look. Try to use as many items you have in some way. When finished get rid of the leftovers. If this experiment did not cause you to use them you will most likely not think of wearing them in the future. This exercise will help you as you are dressing each day to be creative and get out of a style rut. Tomorrow, how to store it neatly.

Word for Today, Tomorrow: It is a different kind of last day of the month since we only have this date every 4 years, but also because Mom died on the last day of the month, March 31, and there is not a 31 to think "today it has been 11 months." Our lives are so brief even when you live to be 98 like my Nanny is. No matter what age someone leaves us for eternity it is too soon in our human capacity. The truth is we never know if we have tomorrow and we need to understand not putting off what we are to be doing today. Love, give, do, and be today. "Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. Behold, now is the accepted time, behold now is the day of salvation."
