We shied away from these things that we would have loved to wear, thinking that we were doing the right thing. But we actually sometimes let ourselves down by giving in to others who thought they knew best. Isn't it nice to get to the stage where we can be allowed to think for ourselves and enjoy every decision we make when it comes to how we dress.SPECIALISED SUPPORT TEAM MEMBERShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291389139118464048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836401080404942248.post-84150820225699906452011-09-11T03:01:41.074+10:002011-09-11T03:01:41.074+10:00This is a good way to look at things.

So, nearly everything I bought was blue.<br /><br />My husband finally asked me to try something else when I asked him which blue fabric he liked for a robe I was about to make for myself. He told me to try something besides blue. I did, and he loved it! And so did I. It was a real eye opener to discover that I could wear other colors besides blue. LOL<br /><br />That sounds so simple and obvious, when when people are telling you that you "need to lose weight" and that you should wear blue because it is slimming, and that you can't wear this style or that one, well, eventually I fell into believing it. <br /><br />When i discovered I could wear color, it opened up my creativity as well. Color simply helped me open my life wider and deeper. What a wonderful thing!Janet C. Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04839427031185835896noreply@blogger.com
