Epiphanies and T-shirt Uniforms

       When I was in high school we were forced to wear horrendous t-shirt uniforms. Sure, you could choose from a few different styles and a variety of colors but for me, that wasn't enough. Growing up on a small island, we didn't have much to choose from anyway so my adornments were already limited. I was already without many options and then they went and threw anything slightly cute down the drain!? Rude. Now, this is not to say that I was in any way a "fashionista", it is just merely a means by which I can explain my brain thoughts.


To combat this uniform predicament I had only one choice, to accessorize.


     As I have evolved as a person, lady, friend, I have come to realize that not only do we accessorize with adornments on our body, ( like I, circa 2005 with long necklaces, flats and gypsy skirts) we are constantly accessorizing our life.


     We choose our friends, our bookshelves, our hairstyles, our jewelry, our schooling, our careers, our pillow shams and, the art for our walls. We accessorize to build our lives in a way that makes us come home from a long day and simply smile. And so, although our significant others are not "accessories", they add to our lives and by definition, they accessorize it. Not anywhere near the same caliber but similarly, we choose the items we fill our warm apartments with and the jewelry pieces we accent our outfit with.

Like this piece I made all by myself!! (yours for $26) :)

And so, here are all the frills (without the t-shirt uniforms).
