The Importance of Being Earnest

Again, I know this is a fashion blog but this is an important post. The Importance of Being Earnest was penned by Oscar Wilde. There are many interpretations of the meaning of the title. To me it is about knowing yourself. It is about having the courage to face who and what you must face. It is about being able to stand in the face of everything you revile and move through it anyway.

Starting next week, I will be blogging from a different venue. I am going to park myself in Bellevue, Washington for a while. It will give me the chance to regroup and figure some things out. It will give me a much needed respite from the rigors of putting together the Fashion Project. I admit that I am tired and that I need some serious R&R.

Janice will still be blogging from San Francisco and Kenny will post photos, some day. So I am going to hang out at the Bellevue Collection, play in the land of Microsoft and enjoy the water and mountains that surround the Puget Sound region. It will be a different fashion perspective so it should be good for all of you readers.

So ladies as you make your investments this fall, remember that you need to be true to yourselves. Don't go for something because one of the fashion magazines says it is all the rage or because Janice, or I, think it is great. If it isn't your cup of tea, let it go. That is allowed.

So in my attempt to be 'earnest' I am going to do my best to get back in the saddle ASAP. I am going to forge ahead with my dreams and I am going to be kind to myself. This is the me time I have so greatly needed. I will be in the company of the dressmaker who got me started down this road many years ago. When you need some TLC what better place to go than home.
Okay, Saks works too; but, it will cost you more.

a la prochaine.
