Mood: Solemn
Weather: Warm, slightly cooler
Outfit Purpose: Luncheon
Style Savvy: My outfit isn’t super “Springy” but whatevs. I felt attracted to this color palette today probably because I’m in somewhat of a solemn mood. At least I’m dressed appropriately for a luncheon and that’s all that counts. I’ve owned this black silk DVF (Diane Von Furstenberg) top for about 8 years or maybe nine. Believe it or not, if you own a piece of clothing made from an all natural fabric (silk, linen, wool, etc.) and it’s not blended with another type of synthetic material, you can wash it in the delicate cycle, hang dry and steam out the wrinkles. I’ve been doing this for years. Perfect example with my top I’m wearing in this blog post. It still looks great.
Personal Style: Glammed Up Boho
What’s Going On: Just when I think I’m done grieving, I’m not. I’m missing my dad, I’m missing my old home and neighborhood. I usually avoid driving through my former place of residence when I’m in Santa Monica but today I couldn’t really dodge it unless I wanted to be stuck on congested streets. I also met a friend on Main Street where my ex-husband and I use to stroll around. When I was there today it didn’t bother me, it just literally hit me tonight. Then I wished I could call my dad and talk to him. He would always say, “I don’t know what to tell you kiddo.” To hear his voice again and his random one-liners…
There’s this line in a movie that I love, “Beginnings are hard, endings are sad but the middle is what counts.” I try to make everyday count, live in the moment and be present. Sometimes I’m not so good at it especially when I’m missing a few special people.
