Moving Away From, Moving Toward

In the Dressing Room with Brenda (Kinsel). Don’t I wish!

After seeing what books I was going to need for my fall classes the other day, I headed to the used book store. There, I picked up this little book for some light summer reading. 🙂  If you click on the picture of the cover, you may find an offer from Amazon for you to get the book for even less than I paid for it.

Under the header “The ‘Me Glorious Me’ Notebook”, Brenda describes several of what I would term idiom identification exercises, including “Moving Away From, Moving Toward”.  Because for me wardrobe development is such a process, this particular exercise described alot of what was going on in my head anyway.  So I decided to write it down.  Some of these trends in my wardrobe are several seasons old, others are fresh thoughts.

turtlenecks                                                 scarves
vertical & horizontal lines                             diagonals & tight curves
heather gray                                                pewter
v-necks                                                       scoop necks
sweaters                                                     vests
green                                                          purple

cool colors, esp. black                                 warm colors, esp. peach

Here’s the beginning of my list.  This is a great time of year for this kind of thinking.  What are you moving away from and moving toward?
