Life is filled with options and mountains of stuff (really hate that word but it’s fitting) that finding certain things make you feel comfortable or make you feel truly like yourself, is to be treasured. Whether it may be a memorable piece of jewelry or a perfume that makes you feel like you can conquer the world, it all makes you feel like the real person you are. They make you feel warm and fuzzy when the memory of how you acquired it floods your mind. The best thing about signatures in our lives is that we can have as many or as little as we want. It all just depends. For me, I have certain pieces of jewelry that I wear everyday. I feel naked without them and have stories about each and every piece.
For instance, I got my Tiffany’s bangle bracelet when I was in the 6th grade. It was from the New York location and my mom surprised me with it when she came home from a work trip. I have warn it every single day since then. I have had to get it fixed 3 times but it is worth it to me because it has somehow become a part of me.
Some signatures you don’t realize you have until someone says something about it. When I was younger, and still now, I wore Clinique Happy, the perfume. I loved it but didn’t think that anyone really noticed. I just figured it was something to make me happy. Years later, a close friend told me that to that day, wherever she smelled that perfume, she automatically thought of me. It was wonderful to hear. The littlest of things can create such a memory of a person.
So, think about those things that would make you feel naked without them and why they have such an impact on your life. It’s such a great thing to remember and smile about. It feels darn good!
Have a chic and happy week, my loves.
