I am DONE with TIGHT POLY CLOTHING! IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE OF CLOTHING!
I HAVE JUST THROWN OUT 18 YEARS OF "TEACHERS" CLOTHING. THE BUTTON UP SHIRTS TO MY CHIN, THE TAILORED SKIRTS, THE PUMPS. I AM DONE WITH THAT LIFE AND HOW I HAD TO CONFORM TO PRESENT MY SELF.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE HEARD THIS AND VARIATIONS OF IT? ALL AROUND THE WORLD, WOMEN ARE WAKING UP TO NEW LIFE AFTER A DIVORCE, CHANGE OF JOB OR RETIREMENT. THEY REALIZE THEIR LIFE IS NOW BLANK CANVAS, AND THEY GET TO RE-CREATE A LIFESTYLE THAT WORKS FOR THEM.
MANY TIMES ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WOMEN DO, RATHER THAN REPAINTING THE HOUSE, OR MOVE THE FURNITURE, IS CLEAN OUT THEIR CLOSETS! CLOSETS ARE LITTLE HOMES FOR OUR "STUFF" OUR "STYLE" WHO WE ARE LIVES IN THAT CLOSET ON HANGERS. WE ADORN OURSELVES FOR THE ROLE WE PLAY DURING THE DAY. AND THAT IS GOOD FOR THE PURPOSE OF LIVING A SAFE LIFE. BUT THEN SOMETHINGS GOTTA GO AND IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE.

our decorated tree, breathing there
among the metallic angels, ceramic apples, stars of yarn,
its eyes open, like mine as I lie in bed tonight
picturing this rare, lucky sparrow
tucked into a holly bush now,
a light snow tumbling through the windless dark.
Lagenlook Caftan Tunic one-of-a-kind Magenta, Scarlett and Navy Blue
A great lagenlook tunic changes the whole mood of a woman’s day. She slips it on and instantly feels more spacious, more graceful, more herself. The fabric moves when she moves, so her body relaxes and her presence turns confident. It’s the kind of piece that makes her walk into a room with ease—artful, feminine, and quietly powerful.
