inconsistencies of life

People who know me, know that I am pretty darn casual.

I wear chuck taylors to work; sure I venture past the black and tan colours but I don't spend a lot of time on my clothes. Remember I work at a contact centre. But, every autumn I fight the urge to spend money on more stylish clothes - I do relent and purchase the September issues of some fashion magazines as fashion intrigues me. I carry the burdens of the world in my heart and I am acutely aware of the huge gap between the wealthy west and then the majority of the others who live on this planet of ours. It makes absolutely no sense to care so much about how and what we wear from a global awareness point of view; nor from the spiritual but, yet there is something there that pulls me in.

Perhaps this year it is stronger because I am considering leaving my current job and moving to a position where I will be in the public eye.

So, having full disclosed my interior struggle - here is cool canadian designer Pink Tartan

i think there are 2 forces that draw you. one, the sinister force of vanity. two, the good force of beauty.

It IS nearly time to shop for school clothes...I still feel that pull each September.
