Clothes for the Seasons of Life
Seasons change, and people change too! Different seasons of life require different kinds of clothes.
If you have abundance of clothing, it can feel really challenging to figure out what you want to wear season by season. Now that I’m in my mid forties, I’m trending toward black and darker colors more often. But I still love florals, prints and scrappy things too! Depending on the stage of life you are in, clothes can make that stage feel great or not so much.
Here are a few questions to consider when you are putting together your seasonal wardrobe.
What season of life are you in? Do you work outside the home, or are you more of a home body?
Do you love dressing for comfort, or is utmost fashion your thing regardless of how comfortable it is? If you prefer comfort, is there a way you can be comfortable while also wearing fashion that makes you feel sassy or sexy?
Do you want to stand out or do you more want to fade into the fabric of life like a wallflower? What pieces make you feel most confident depending on the situations you find yourself in?
If you could travel back in time to any era…whether you were alive during that time or not, what would it be? Is there a way you can incorporate more of that era into your current wardrobe?
Do you let your age define your style? Oftentimes people feel like they have to dress a certain way in order to “look right” for their age group. Would it be possible to shake off that stodgy attitude, and wear what lights you up most?
What stage of life are you in? And does your wardrobe reflect that? As a seamstress, you can always alter the things in your closet to fit whatever stage you are in! That is one of the major benefits of sewing for yourself. I’m going to rethink some of my clothes, and transform my closet into something that represents who I am today!
