We cradle what we love close to our chests. We nestle it up in blankets and pillows of comfort, slipping it into our sleeves hearts and minds. We think about it, create it and we wish it into existence, whether we know it or not.
We live our lives cloaked in clothing that’s supposed to make us feel a certain way, look a certain way, act and talk a certain way. At face value, fashion is beautiful; it is what moves so many people, it is an art and a passion and a path. Yet, most of us fail to realize that the thoughts we carry about ourselves, whether it’s that we are ugly, unworthy, useless…these create that which surrounds us: our life.
Buddha once said, “What you think, you become.” Fill yourself up with love and anticipation for what’s to come, and your wish will be met.
Cloak yourself in words as beautiful as the clothing you’re draped in. Wear your heart on the sleeve of your Phillip Lim sweater. Embrace the fabrics that weave your life together like you embrace Chanel’s classic tweed. Live through your thoughts and actions. Most importantly, live through your heart.
