Mira's Closet

Mira’s no fashionista, but she definitely has her own sense of style…
And now here’s an update on just that.

First an observation: I’ve noticed that when I write a story and I do all that I do to develop my characters, I don’t spend a lot of time on their attire. It seems that what my characters are wearing from scene to scene is one of those things I’d rather leave to the imagination of the reader. There are times, though, when what a character is wearing is very important or vital to a scene and therefore must be described. I’ve determined that because I’m such a visual person, anything that I can’t actually see, I’d rather imagine…Wonder how others feel about that?

Now here are some style tips from

my own personal fashion guru, trainer, and my physical inspiration for Mira.

And now here’s an update on just that.

First an observation: Fashion is much more cultural then I realized. People all over the world are being influenced by others through the World Wide Web, but some traditions just never seem to fade away and I like it (most of the time). Not all stereotypes are bad, some are simply representative of a culture. Not all women in the “south” of the plains region of the U.S. have big hair, but a lot of them do. Not all black women (African American, if you care to be P.C.) wear big hoop earrings, but a lot do. I personally adore my hoop earrings (of a modest size). Everyday fashion becomes more and more an artistic expression of one ‘s personality, culture, and out look on life. I love it.
