Thursday Thoughts - On Fashion and Style

Style Seeker

Style takes more than exclusivity

of price, place, and proportions -

Just as your clothes don't desire me,

I reject their required contortions.

I prefer upcycled, vintage, handmade,

(things rarer than your rustic khakis)

uniqueness no eyes can evade,

sophisticated sparkle at ease.

The thin 'rich' kids can keep you,

I've got my imagination -

Some may stick to your styles like glue,

but I'll make, mix, and match my own creation.

Some stores don't make clothes for women my size,

but I think thinking that makes them special is a guise.

Do I look like fireworks?

A woman who always felt free

to dress as weird as she be.

Went out in tie dye

for the 4th of July.

Firework colors made her feel pretty.

Stylish Limerick

                   Image by idea go via freedigitalphoto.net

A gal who took pride in her style,
walked in her Dolche's a mere mile.
Then she gave up walking
for shopping and talking
'cuz blisters were sqinching her smile.
