dreaming of couture

Emerging greenery, Endless sunsets

Out with the old and in with the..."What could I possibly wear during this transitioning of seasons?". Spring's arrival is nearly here: I notice the blossoming around me, the everlasting sunshine, and the potent blue sky. Unfortunately, there are still those occasional dreary days that that visit us, but it's time to whip out the bright colors (which also make for a much brighter mood). Find a happy-medium with layering, colors, patterns, and textures to suffice the odd weather.

Lately, my most treasured time of day has been dusk. It's a kiss of sunlight. Rays are just lapping at your neck and burning the shiny whites of your eyes. The colored portion suddenly becomes a more brilliant and dynamic version of your eye color. The pupil condenses, retreating back to the safety of its smallness. It's blinding. Dusk is calming, healing, but has a glaring contrast as well. It's the winding down of something stressful, establishes the upcoming period of rest, or symbolizes the start of a new day. Relinquishing the negative and bringing hope to the dawn of positive. It's the "try again" button. Dusk is golden, maybe caramel and pink. To me it is soothing; a soar throat consoled by peppermint tea. It's those brief moments between yellow, red, and a slow purple. Then, time to conquer the night.
