Don’t save anything, use it everyday. Whether it is that great tablecloth or a great dress. Whenever you need to feel particularly beautiful, pull out that piece that makes you feel great and dress up if the mood strikes you, even if you aren’t going out for to that 'special event'.
This museum captures the magic of life and childhood in a highly creative way. My son loves racing the cars and then immediately heads for the fire trucks or the great big pirate ship. And always a trip to the farm stand for some 'local fruit and vegetables' and a masterpiece experience in the art studio and of course a visit to the sand table and the play ground.
On this rainy day, I was recuperating from jet lag. I sleepily took a fast shower and put on a pair of white Levi cut offs from high school and a thin cotton printed top I brought home from Mauii and pink Converse low tops. Grabbed whatever bag my passport was still packed in, and rushed to meet these women and their little ones at the museum.
Upon my arrival I was greeted by an array of mules and platform heels, the latest oversized designer handbags from Herme's, Vuitton, Mulberry etc. and skirts and dresses. While the fashion designer in me says always dress for your mood and wear what you love, for a split second, I suddenly felt liked I should be on Rivington Street and they on Park Avenue.
I realized that these women while overdressed for this occasion in some circles were actually supporting my philosophy. Every day is a day to dress and express yourself in whatever makes you feel great. They survived the uneven mulch on the play ground and looked beautiful. I celebrated two of my favorite labels - Levi's www.levistrauss.com and Converse www.converse.com and we both in the end felt great.
