A holiday worth celebrating

As my darling hair colorist-friend noted, "Every day is Halloween."  For her.  And, as it turns out, for me as well.  She had on a "hint of sailor."  And I, a quasi-crazy mix of "scarf-as-skirt" with non-matching accessories.

"You look like you had fun getting dressed today!"  Yep.  With few exceptions, I have been wearing the same thing for the past six months.  This makes life exceptionally easy.   

"I like your, ah, look/style/outfit.  What do you call it?" someone inquired recently.  "I'm going with Ethnic Mix and Match."  Toss in a pair of leggings and a leotard, tee shirt, tank top or tunic and you're good to go.  Couldn't be easier.

For some, this would feel as ridiculous as Pearls and Polo would  for me/which I happen to love.  On other people.  

"The best part about ethnicity," noted my friend, Karen, "is that the look lies outside of the world of fashion/What's In or Out." 

It simply Is. There's no, IT'S SOOOOO YESTERDAY.  It never HAD its day.  And it's fun.  Moreover, Who Really Cares?  And should that matter to you?  I don't think so.  

My friend, Susan, recently remarked, "You came in an original.  Why go out a copy?"  I could not agree more.

And, Halloween is, after all, my favorite holiday.  You'll see if you stay in touch long enough.
