The Sassy Steel Magnolia

Do you have those items in your closet that you only wear for special occasions? The flashy costume jewelry you purchased on a whim that sit out just waiting to accompany you one day? How many times have you not purchased something with the excuse – I have no place to wear it? Well here’s what I have to say about that:

It all sounds like nothing but a bunch of rubbish. Silly poppycock. Nonsensical excuses.

Pardon my strong vocabulary but I use it to illustrate my point. If you have no occasion to wear something too, then make an occasion. Schedule a happy hour, a party, a dinner (anything) and let your company know you plan on getting a little dolled up for a change….just because.

So you don’t work at a high fashion magazine or power house art studio? Who cares! (you should see some of the items I’ve walking into my day job, at a commercial real estate office, sporting) Take it one item at a time and start out simple. Pair the chic top with a classic business suite. The just-a-bit-over-the-top bracelet with an other wise normal work day outfit when you don’t have any meetings. And so forth and so on….just because.

The key is moderation, of course. You can’t be over the top all the time. (unless you’re my good friend’s Grandmother Cecil. In which case she can pull it off! *a finely tuned skill I simply adore, might I add.) But at the same time, you can’t be constantly mundane, saving the good stuff for rare situations!

So why not sass up an outfit one day this week? No if’s, and’s or but’s about it….just because.
