Here is a blog full of images of glamorous women -- images that are so familiar to me because my family albums are filled with images like these. My mother and aunts, my grandmother, all looking beautiful and fashionable in bygone times.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/tumblr_lhucuhqXJf1qfu6z3.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1094 alignnone\" title=\"Toyo Miyatake Studio Rafu Shimpo Collection\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/tumblr_lhucuhqXJf1qfu6z3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"385\" height=\"560\" /></a>\r\n\r\nBut the images were also exotic, even to me, because women of color -- women like me -- were rarely featured in aspirational media.\r\n\r\nThis explanation from the <a href=\"http://ofanotherfashion.tumblr.com/about\">project\'s founder </a>says it all for me.\r\n<blockquote>In providing a glimpse of women of color’s material cultural histories - a glimpse that no doubt only begins to redress the curatorial and critical absence of minoritized fashion histories - this archive and the forthcoming exhibition commemorates lives and experiences too often considered not important enough to save or to study.</blockquote>\r\nI\'m Hispanic and I honestly can\'t say that I feel ignored by today\'s aspirational media. A great percentage of our <a href=\"http://www.oscardelarenta.com/?folderId=/shoponline/sale/&amp;gclid=CIKK5qin0qcCFQJN4AodpRXc9w\">designers</a>, our <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pen%C3%A9lope_Cruz\">movie</a> stars, our <a href=\"http://www.carolinaherrera.com/\">fashion</a> and <a href=\"http://www3.images.coolspotters.com/photos/340379/eva-mendes-and-dolce-and-gabbana-fall-2010-rtw-leopard-print-longsleeve-top-gallery.jpg\">beauty</a> icons are latinas. I really can\'t complain about the present.\r\n\r\nBut oh, how this blog has made me upset about the not so distant past. It\'s not like we came from nothing. We have a history too.\r\n\r\nThat\'s my life, my history, that\'s being ignored.\r\n\r\nMy mother\'s family didn\'t move to the US until the seventies (and then they moved back and didn\'t return until the very late eighties), so I don\'t think many of my family photos would qualify for the project.\r\n\r\nI thought I\'d share one from my family albums. All I know about the picture below is that it shows my grandmother and grandfather in the Dominican Republic sometime in the 50s.\r\n\r\nThat\'s them on the left, wearing white and looking dapper.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/photo.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1098 alignnone\" title=\"photo\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/photo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" /></a>\r\n\r\nI never met my grandfather -- he passed away when my mother was only 12. I don\'t know who most of the people in the photo are, actually. But I keep this photo of my grandparents at a family party on my desktop because oh, what a grand time they seem to be having!\r\n\r\nI know a bit of what happened after this photo was taken, but the people living that moment couldn\'t have known the many hardships that had to be endured. The many joys that were celebrated. The many things and people that had to live, that had to exist, so I could be here today.\r\n\r\nOn that day, they danced in their pretty dresses and fancy suits.\r\n\r\nThey remind me that elegance and grace is timeless and has no color.','Of Another Fashion','','inherit','open','open','','1091-revision-8','','','2011-03-16 01:23:43','2011-03-16 05:23:43','',1091,'http://www.everydaytreats.com/2011/03/1091-revision-8.html',0,'revision','',0),(1182,1,'2011-04-06 11:31:57','2011-04-06 15:31:57','Sometimes a mother has to put her foot down and explain the unexplainable.

Everyone told me that Mom 2.0 would be my type of conference, and it turns out that everyone was right. I loved it. I loved that it was small, I loved that it was focused, I loved the openness and honesty of the attendees.\r\n\r\nTurns out that the reasons I loved Mom 2.0 are the very reasons I should be proud of my blog.\r\n\r\nIt\'s small. It\'s focused (or \"niche\" as the marketers like to say.) I\'m honest on my blog -- I don\'t pretend to be something I\'m not, even if it acting differently might get me more readers.\r\n\r\nWhat\'s strange is that the very reasons I loved Mom 2.0 are the reasons I sometimes feel bad about my blog.\r\n\r\nI\'ve been doing this since 2005. I\'ve done fine for myself work-wise outside of the blog. I have made more amazing friends than I could have ever dreamed of. But sometimes I wonder what\'s wrong with this blog. Why do I still have the same modest traffic I\'ve had since 2006? (Frustrating!)\r\n\r\nWhat am I doing wrong?\r\n\r\nIntellectually, I know the answer. I know that I\'m doing nothing wrong, except when I am.\r\n\r\nTalking to so many writers that I admire was energizing, and having some of them tell me how much they\'ve loved this little space reminded me that while what I do here isn\'t for everyone, there are people reading.\r\n\r\nAnd getting it.\r\n\r\n(That\'s you. Thank you.)\r\n\r\nThen yesterday I went to watch the Boston Marathon. If you ever want to put things in perspective, go watch marathon runners.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/69128a38e36b4572a5cb0c33c3a28a3d_7-e1303232325992.jpeg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1286\" title=\"69128a38e36b4572a5cb0c33c3a28a3d_7\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/69128a38e36b4572a5cb0c33c3a28a3d_7-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\nWhile I was as amazed as anyone by the record-breaking times achieved by the elite runners I couldn\'t stop watching the everyday people. The ones who kept going in the shadow of the elite athletes.\r\n\r\nI was explaining the marathon to my children as we watched the people run. Why was everyone cheering? Why are they running? Why was that man crying as he ran? Why is someone running in an Elvis costume? Why? Why? Why?\r\n\r\nAnd then my oldest asked me why people kept on running if someone had crossed the finish line hours ago. Why run if you\'re not going to win?\r\n\r\n\"Because winning isn\'t the point. I\'m not sure finishing is the point. I think the point is simply to do it.\"\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/71ec145f577241bcb2c4b221d94f4f26_7-e1303232364479.jpeg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1285\" title=\"71ec145f577241bcb2c4b221d94f4f26_7\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/71ec145f577241bcb2c4b221d94f4f26_7-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<div id=\"abw\">\r\n<div id=\"abm\">\r\n<div id=\"abc\">\r\n<div id=\"articlebody\">\r\n<div>\r\n<blockquote>If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon. -- Emil Zatopek, Czech runner; winner of four Olympic gold medals</blockquote>\r\nMy mother wanted to stay until the last runner. I told her we would have to be there past nightfall. <a href=\"http://articles.boston.com/2011-04-17/news/29428537_1_dave-mcgillivray-oldest-annual-marathon-boston-marathon\">The last runner is in a category all his own</a>.\r\n\r\nBlogging is like a marathon. You can be there from the beginning and play by the book, or you can jump in and out of it. There are elite runners who in many ways are in a race all their own, but that doesn\'t take away from the everyday people. The ones who have their own reasons for running.\r\n\r\nThe ones who keep going even after the race has been won.\r\n\r\nThe last runners.\r\n\r\nI think I\'m in that category.

This wasn\'t one of those times. It was wonderful.\r\n\r\nOf course, the fact that we returned the night before Mother\'s Day and I was obligated to sleep in until 11 made a big difference in my relaxed state. As my husband and children balanced a tray of instant oatmeal (our pantry was in dire condition after a week away) and coffee and juices and prosecco I had to smile.\r\n\r\n\"This is just like room service,\" I thought.\r\n\r\nAnd then I started thinking about the little things that make hotel stays wonderful. And how we can do some of them at home. Unfortunately, daily maid service is unrealistic (but could you just imagine?) but that\'s no reason not to enjoy some of the other tricks hotels employ.\r\n<h3>Little Luxuries Make a Big Difference</h3>\r\nI got up and showered right after my breakfast in bed. Then I went outside and cut some lilacs that had bloomed while we were away, put them in a child\'s tumbler and placed them next to our bed where we could enjoy the fragrance.\r\n\r\nWhile on vacation, we got so much pleasure when the bell boy showed up with a freshly filled ice bucket or the pool attendant brought us a pitcher of ice water \"just in case\" -- why not do something nice for ourselves on a normal day?\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/succulents-everydaytreats.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1337\" title=\"succulents-everydaytreats\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/succulents-everydaytreats.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"672\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Tie In to Where You Live</h3>\r\nHave you noticed how the best hotels have little details that tie them to the cities where they\'re located? We stayed in three different places on our vacation, an airport hotel, a luxury villa, and a conventional room in a big resort, and they all had something that reminded us of being in Arizona -- whether it was succulents by the door, a photograph of native women collecting fruit from a giant cactus or simply a touristy magazine next to the TV remote, every room tied in to their location.\r\n\r\nYou should do the same at home. This means that I need to buy a <a href=\"http://www.shrevecrumpandlow.com/history/gurgling_cod.aspx\">Gurgling Cod</a> -- I\'ve always wanted one and this is the perfect excuse!\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/horses.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1344\" title=\"horses\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/horses.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"335\" /></a></h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #888888;\">(not our room, but nearby)</span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Infuse Your Space with Personality -- Your House Should Be Your Biography</span></h3>\r\nThis doesn\'t work very well at chain hotels, but for part of the week we stayed at a privately owned villa and though I\'d never met the owners I could tell you a lot about them. They love rugged, big furniture, they play golf and most of all, they love horses.

Everyone told me that Mom 2.0 would be my type of conference, and it turns out that everyone was right. I loved it. I loved that it was small, I loved that it was focused, I loved the openness and honesty of the attendees.\r\n\r\nTurns out that the reasons I loved Mom 2.0 are the very reasons I should be proud of my blog.\r\n\r\nIt\'s small. It\'s focused (or \"niche\" as the marketers like to say.) I\'m honest on my blog -- I don\'t pretend to be something I\'m not, even if it acting differently might get me more readers.\r\n\r\nWhat\'s strange is that the very reasons I loved Mom 2.0 are the reasons I sometimes feel bad about my blog.\r\n\r\nI\'ve been doing this since 2005. I\'ve done fine for myself work-wise outside of the blog. I have made more amazing friends than I could have ever dreamed of. But sometimes I wonder what\'s wrong with this blog. Why do I still have the same modest traffic I\'ve had since 2006? (Frustrating!)\r\n\r\nWhat am I doing wrong?\r\n\r\nIntellectually, I know the answer. I know that I\'m doing nothing wrong, except when I am.\r\n\r\nTalking to so many writers that I admire was energizing, and having some of them tell me how much they\'ve loved this little space reminded me that while what I do here isn\'t for everyone, there are people reading.\r\n\r\nAnd getting it.\r\n\r\n(That\'s you. Thank you.)\r\n\r\nThen yesterday I went to watch the Boston Marathon. If you ever want to put things in perspective, go watch marathon runners.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/69128a38e36b4572a5cb0c33c3a28a3d_7-e1303232325992.jpeg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1286\" title=\"69128a38e36b4572a5cb0c33c3a28a3d_7\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/69128a38e36b4572a5cb0c33c3a28a3d_7-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\nWhile I was as amazed as anyone by the record-breaking times achieved by the elite runners I couldn\'t stop watching the everyday people. The ones who kept going in the shadow of the elite athletes.\r\n\r\nI was explaining the marathon to my children as we watched the people run. Why was everyone cheering? Why are they running? Why was that man crying as he ran? Why is someone running in an Elvis costume? Why? Why? Why?\r\n\r\nAnd then my oldest asked me why people kept on running if someone had crossed the finish line hours ago. Why run if you\'re not going to win?\r\n\r\n\"Because winning isn\'t the point. I\'m not sure finishing is the point. I think the point is simply to do it.\"\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/71ec145f577241bcb2c4b221d94f4f26_7-e1303232364479.jpeg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1285\" title=\"71ec145f577241bcb2c4b221d94f4f26_7\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/71ec145f577241bcb2c4b221d94f4f26_7-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<div id=\"abw\">\r\n<div id=\"abm\">\r\n<div id=\"abc\">\r\n<div id=\"articlebody\">\r\n<div>\r\n<blockquote>If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon. -- Emil Zatopek, Czech runner; winner of four Olympic gold medals</blockquote>\r\nMy mother wanted to stay until the last runner. I told her we would have to be there past nightfall. <a href=\"http://articles.boston.com/2011-04-17/news/29428537_1_dave-mcgillivray-oldest-annual-marathon-boston-marathon\">The last runner is in a category all his own</a>.\r\n\r\nBlogging is like a marathon. You can be there from the beginning and play by the book, or you can jump in and out of it. There are elite runners who in many ways are in a race all their own, but that doesn\'t take away from the everyday people. The ones who have their own reasons for running.\r\n\r\nThe ones who keep going even after the race has been won.\r\n\r\nThe last runners.\r\n\r\nI think I\'m in that category.

Everyone told me that Mom 2.0 would be my type of conference, and it turns out that everyone was right. I loved it. I loved that it was small, I loved that it was focused, I loved the openness and honesty of the attendees.\r\n\r\nTurns out that the reasons I loved Mom 2.0 are the very reasons I should be proud of my blog.\r\n\r\nIt\'s small. It\'s focused (or \"niche\" as the marketers like to say.) I\'m honest on my blog -- I don\'t pretend to be something I\'m not, even if it acting differently might get me more readers.\r\n\r\nWhat\'s strange is that the very reasons I loved Mom 2.0 are the reasons I sometimes feel bad about my blog.\r\n\r\nI\'ve been doing this since 2005. I\'ve done fine for myself work-wise outside of the blog. I have made more amazing friends than I could have ever dreamed of. But sometimes I wonder what\'s wrong with this blog. Why do I still have the same modest traffic I\'ve had since 2006? (Frustrating!)\r\n\r\nWhat am I doing wrong?\r\n\r\nIntellectually, I know the answer. I know that I\'m doing nothing wrong, except when I am.\r\n\r\nTalking to so many writers that I admire was energizing, and having some of them tell me how much they\'ve loved this little space reminded me that while what I do here isn\'t for everyone, there are people reading.\r\n\r\nAnd getting it.\r\n\r\n(That\'s you. Thank you.)\r\n\r\nThen yesterday I went to watch the Boston Marathon. If you ever want to put things in perspective, go watch marathon runners.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/69128a38e36b4572a5cb0c33c3a28a3d_7-e1303232325992.jpeg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1286\" title=\"69128a38e36b4572a5cb0c33c3a28a3d_7\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/69128a38e36b4572a5cb0c33c3a28a3d_7-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\nWhile I was as amazed as anyone by the record-breaking times achieved by the elite runners I couldn\'t stop watching the everyday people. The ones who kept going in the shadow of the elite athletes.\r\n\r\nI was explaining the marathon to my children as we watched the people run. Why was everyone cheering? Why are they running? Why was that man crying as he ran? Why is someone running in an Elvis costume? Why? Why? Why?\r\n\r\nAnd then my oldest asked me why people kept on running if someone had crossed the finish line hours ago. Why run if you\'re not going to win?\r\n\r\n\"Because winning isn\'t the point. I\'m not sure finishing is the point. I think the point is simply to do it.\"\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/71ec145f577241bcb2c4b221d94f4f26_7-e1303232364479.jpeg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1285\" title=\"71ec145f577241bcb2c4b221d94f4f26_7\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/71ec145f577241bcb2c4b221d94f4f26_7-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<div id=\"abw\">\r\n<div id=\"abm\">\r\n<div id=\"abc\">\r\n<div id=\"articlebody\">\r\n<div>\r\n<blockquote>If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon. -- Emil Zatopek, Czech runner; winner of four Olympic gold medals</blockquote>\r\nMy mother wanted to stay until the last runner. I told her we would have to be there past nightfall. <a href=\"http://articles.boston.com/2011-04-17/news/29428537_1_dave-mcgillivray-oldest-annual-marathon-boston-marathon\">The last runner is in a category all his own</a>.\r\n\r\nBlogging is like a marathon. You can be there from the beginning and play by the book, or you can jump in and out of it. There are elite runners who in many ways are in a race all their own, but that doesn\'t take away from the everyday people. The ones who have their own reasons for running.\r\n\r\nThe ones who keep going even after the race has been won.\r\n\r\nThe last runners.\r\n\r\nI think I\'m in that category.

Mighty Girl</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you\'ve ever met Maggie Mason in person, then you will understand what I mean when I say she is a very persuasive girl. In fact, she not only convinced me to unpack in less than a week after my trip to New Orleans, <a href=\"http://mightygirl.com/2011/05/17/packing-light-new-orleans-with-roxanna/\">she got me to photograph the process</a>. That Maggie -- she can make anything sound like fun!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/DSC_0186.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1400\" title=\"DSC_0186\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/DSC_0186.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"747\" /></a>\r\n\r\n(I have yet to unpack from our trip to Arizona. Maybe I should take pictures too.)\r\n\r\nMaggie is <a href=\"http://mightygirl.com/2011/05/17/packing-light-new-orleans-with-roxanna/\">wondering if she should continue with her Packing Light and Mighty Closet</a> series. (Um, YES.) Go on and tell her what you think.\r\n\r\n(You think yes, by the way.)\r\n\r\n<strong>2. <a href=\"http://workingcloset.wordpress.com/2011/05/21/links-may-21/\">The Working Closet</a></strong>\r\n\r\nMy friend Susan Wagner has impeccable taste, so I\'m super-flattered that she included me in a roundup with some of the loveliest bloggers around. I won\'t say who, just <a href=\"http://workingcloset.wordpress.com/2011/05/21/links-may-21/\">check out her post</a> and tell me if you\'re not inspired to add some <em>oh la la </em>to your life.\r\n<h3>WHAT I\'M READING</h3>\r\n1. <strong><a href=\"http://modernhepburn.tumblr.com/\">Modern Hepburn</a></strong> is my favorite Tumblr.

Yours will tell you what you like too, even if you stick pictures of elephants or waterfalls. Maybe you have a sense of adventure, or maybe you like warm-weather clothes. One picture doesn\'t tell your story, but put many things you like together and it starts to come together.\n\nI\'ll be back tomorrow with tips to help you discover what looks good on you. Until then, go and make your inspiration board.\n\nLet me know if you post it somewhere, because I\'d love to see it!','How to define your personal style: Shopper, know thyself','','inherit','open','open','','1361-revision-14','','','2011-05-17 11:45:40','2011-05-17 15:45:40','',1361,'http://www.everydaytreats.com/2011/05/1361-revision-14.html',0,'revision','',0),(1377,1,'2011-05-20 10:42:45','2011-05-20 14:42:45','<span style=\"color: #888888;\"><em>This is an ongoing series on how to define your personal style. Part 1: \"Shopper, know thyself\" <a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/2011/05/how-to-define-your-personal-style-shopper-know-thyself.html\">is here</a>.</em></span>\r\n\r\nSo.\r\n\r\nWe\'ve talked about the first step in defining your personal style -- <a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/2011/05/how-to-define-your-personal-style-shopper-know-thyself.html\">collecting images that are attractive to you, no matter how unrealistic</a> or whether they\'re related to clothing. Now that you\'ve figured out what it is you aspire to in general, it\'s time to get specific.\r\n\r\nWhat\'s your reality? It\'s right behind your closet doors. Let\'s dig in!\r\n\r\n<strong>First, pick 5-10 things that you love</strong>\r\n\r\nPick 5-10 pieces (not outfits) out of your wardrobe that you really love to wear. I\'m talking MAD love. This includes tops, pants, dresses, skirts -- whatever. If you hate all your clothes, pick the things you wear over and over again (look in your laundry basket!). Don\'t over think it. Just pick the clothes you love -- and if you can\'t find a particular item that\'s appropriate for a part of your life, don\'t stress. We\'ll get to that in a minute.\r\n\r\nLay those pieces out so you can see them all at once, smile (because, how nice is it to have all your favorite clothes together?) and ask yourself a few questions.\r\n\r\n--What material are these clothes made of?\r\n\r\n--Are they soft? Ruffly? Crisp?\r\n\r\n--Are they prints or solids? Both?\r\n\r\n--How do they fit your body -- are they fitted? Do they have a 50s silhouette (fitted at the waist. full at the bottom)? Are they loose and flowing?\r\n\r\n--How many of the pieces are separates vs. dresses or one-piece (i.e. dresses)?\r\n\r\n--What parts of your body do these pieces show off? What do they hide?\r\n\r\nYour answers will tell you a lot about what works for you. Let\'s say you picked 3 black dresses and two pairs of dark wash jeans -- you probably like the way you look in classic pieces. Maybe you\'re into solids, or (surprise!) you like to show off your legs. There is no right answer, but be honest with yourself and you will see a pattern emerge.\r\n\r\n<em>Remember</em>: This is what works for you, but it doesn\'t mean you are doomed to only buying the pieces that work for you. Instead, think of how you can replicate what works when you go shopping for the categories where you are lacking pieces you love. Winter dressing is my achilles heel -- I never have enough cold-weather clothes, so I\'m looking at what I love in the summer --dresses! solids! fun details! -- and looking for winter clothes that have the same feel.\r\n\r\nNext, we will look at the dark, mistake-filled recesses of your closet.

I promise.)\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','How to define your personal style: The good','','publish','open','open','','how-to-define-your-personal-style-the-good','','http://www.everydaytreats.com/2011/05/how-to-define-your-personal-style-shopper-know-thyself.html\nhttp://www.everydaytreats.com/2011/05/how-to-define-your-personal-style-shopper-know-thyself.html','2011-05-20 10:43:43','2011-05-20 14:43:43','',0,'http://www.everydaytreats.com/?p=1377',0,'post','',1),(1378,1,'2011-05-18 13:54:16','2011-05-18 17:54:16','Now that you have figured out what it is you aspire to, it\'s time to look at the reality','How to define your personal style: The reality','','inherit','open','open','','1377-revision','','','2011-05-18 13:54:16','2011-05-18 17:54:16','',1377,'http://www.everydaytreats.com/2011/05/1377-revision.html',0,'revision','',0),(1379,1,'2011-05-19 23:09:46','2011-05-20 03:09:46','Now that you have figured out what it is you aspire to, it\'s time to look at reality.

Let\'s dig in!\r\n\r\n<strong>First, pick 5-10 things that you love</strong>\r\n\r\nPick 5-10 pieces (not outfits) out of your wardrobe that you really love to wear. I\'m talking MAD love. This includes tops, pants, dresses, skirts -- whatever. If you hate all your clothes, pick the things you wear over and over again (look in your laundry basket!). Don\'t over think it. Just pick the clothes you love -- and if you can\'t find a particular item that\'s appropriate for a part of your life, don\'t stress. We\'ll get to that in a minute.\r\n\r\nLay those pieces out so you can see them all at once, smile (because, how nice is it to have all your favorite clothes together?) and ask yourself a few questions.\r\n\r\n--What material are these clothes made of?\r\n\r\n--Are they soft? Ruffly? Crisp?\r\n\r\n--Are they prints or solids? Both?\r\n\r\n--How do they fit your body -- are they fitted? Do they have a 50s silhouette (fitted at the waist. full at the bottom)? Are they loose and flowing?\r\n\r\n--How many of the pieces are separates vs. dresses or one-piece (i.e. dresses)?\r\n\r\n--What parts of your body do these pieces show off? What do they hide?\r\n\r\nYour answers will tell you a lot about what works for you. Let\'s say you picked 3 black dresses and two pairs of dark wash jeans -- you probably like the way you look in classic pieces. Maybe you\'re into solids, or (surprise!) you like to show off your legs. There is no right answer, but be honest with yourself and you will see a pattern emerge.\r\n\r\n<em>Remember</em>: This is what works for you, but it doesn\'t mean you are doomed to only buying the pieces that work for you. Instead, think of how you can replicate what works when you go shopping for the categories where you are lacking pieces you love.

I\'m absolutely serious about this. I\'m going to rock that party, assuming I\'m lucky enough to make it that far.\r\n\r\nThere are no guarantees but trust me, I\'m planning for it.\r\n\r\nWhy waste precious time fighting time? Why try to recapture youth? Youth was great, but it can\'t come back. And there is nothing sadder than a person trying to look younger than they are.  (I\'m talking to you, all of the real housewives of wherever).\r\n\r\nWhen I grow up, I\'m going to be an old woman, and it\'s going to be fierce.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1488\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"450\" caption=\"Carmen Dell&#39;Orefice (turned 80 this month!)\"]<a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/cd62_org21-e1308072587156.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1488\" title=\"cd62_org21\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/cd62_org21-e1308072587156.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"594\" /></a>[/caption]\r\n\r\nInstead of letting myself go and someday facing a stranger in the mirror, I take care of myself. I do it gently -- beauty treatments and rituals can and should be pleasurable.\r\n\r\nI don\'t do it because I want to stay young. I do it because I want to look my best. Who says your best is in the past? (OK, lots of people think that.

For the most part.)\n\nThen separate your closet into sections: Tops, pants, dresses, skirts -- whatever works for you -- and put things back in each section. If there are any items you hate, or haven\'t worn in a while, or can\'t remember how on earth they got in your closet, leave them behind.\n\nWhen you\'re done, take a look at the pile of rejects. Forgive yourself for past mistakes. (It\'s OK, we all make them.)\n\nIt\'s time to analyze the ugly.\n\nWhy don\'t these clothes work for you?\n\nAre the clothes poor quality? Are they falling apart?\n\nDid you buy them in a panic?\n\nDid you buy something that you simply doesn\'t fit into your life?

Why did you buy those dresses in the first place?\r\n\r\nYou probably needed them - maybe to wear to a wedding, or to work -- and put off buying them until you absolutely had to.

A dress can be sporty or glamorous or playful or formal -- the same can be said for any article of clothing.\n\nWhat\'s your personal style?

What next?</address>You\'ve done all the work. Now, my friends comes the easy part.\n\nNow we make it work.\n\nRemember when we looked at our favorite clothing items? Are you destined for a lifetime of buying the same things over and over again? Not necessarily, unless that\'s what you want. I\'m a big fan of having a daily uniform, just to make life simple -- but I also like to try different things, just to make life fun of course. Both things are important.\n\nAlso, don\'t forget the things you hate. What you learned from looking at them is important too.\n\nThe trick is to look at the recurring themes in the clothes you love (are they fitted? Soft? Crisp?) and the clothes you hate (are they too old/young for you? Are they too bright or dark?) and translate the general themes into your personal style guide.\n\nMaybe you love a ton of soft T-shirts and hate a bunch of scratchy dresses. Why did you buy those dresses in the first place?\n\nYou probably needed them - maybe to wear to a wedding, or to work -- and put off buying them until you absolutely had to. Well, you now know that you like soft, drapey clothes -- why not look for a dress made of stretchy cotton or jersey? It doesn\'t have to be tight, but it should feel comfortable, like those T-shirts you love.\n\nAnd don\'t forget to look at you inspiration board to remind you of what you want the clothes you buy to feel like. A dress can be sporty or glamorous or playful or formal -- the same can be said for any article of clothing.\n\nWhat\'s your personal style?
