Mira’s Closet: 03/23/15: Seasonal

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

First an observation: Seasonal trends seem to abound in every industry in one way or another. With fashion it’s simply more obvious. It’s spring now so that means bright flowery colors and cardigans- at least for me anyway. I always bring something with me in case I get a chill, so the cardigan is the way to go for me. In fall it’s worn over long sleeves and in the spring over short sleeves. As for bright colors, I’ll be wearing lots of yellow, blue, and lime green, and of course I’ll have flowers in my hair. It’s just my thing. Even as the seasons change in my book, Mira’s wardrobe changes. It just makes sense.

Now here are some style tips/clips from
Torimy own personal fashion guru, trainer, and my physical inspiration for Mira.

Mira’s Closet: 02/23/15: A Passing Phase

MClosetMira’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 always assumed that fashion had to be loud and outrageous to stand out and or make a statement. It turns out that simple and subtle changes can be more than enough to stop and make people notice. I recently changed the style of my hair, and it seems to some, that I’m a whole new or different person. I’m not, of course, but it’s still nice to be noticed, even if it’s only a passing phase.

Mira’s Closet: 11/24/14: Behind the Baubles

MClosetMira’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 been thinking lately about jewelry and baubles. I no longer think these are pretty useless items that exist solely to make pretty women look prettier; they also make not-so-pretty women look prettier. I kid, but seriously there is so much more to small, pretty, shiny accessories than meets the eye…Like my comic/nerd reference there? 😉

Anyway, here’s what I’ve concluded. These accessories and baubles don’t always have to be expensive and pure, but they can at best be significant. When a man wears and old watch that’s in good condition, it usually means that someone he cares about gave it to him. When a man break out his fraternity pin to wear on his lapel or on his tie and get choked up in the process, you know it’s not all about how it looks.

Then there are the more obvious female examples. A girl wears the earing she inherited from her mother, a woman pins a bright red and gaudy broach to her lapel because it represents a cause that means more than just a lot her. A grandmother wears a sparkling charm bracelet where each charm signifies one of her children and grandchildren. Not that I think there is anything wrong with wearing jewelry for the heck of it and wanting it to be pretty and stylish, but it’s nice knowing that sometimes there more to it than that.
