"...Verve is the special ability or talent to pull something off with panache, from a fabulous outfit to an exquisite couplet of poetry. Verve comes into our lives when we finally trust our instincts. When we take risks and they pay off. It is also the secret of personal style. Verve is focused creative energy, a sense of vitality or zest..." Sarah Ban Breathnach -
I do love me some Ms. Breathnach and enjoy her book "Simple Abundance".
Have you ever had that moment of 'verve'? Where you had an outfit on and you looked in the mirror and just felt good? I love that moment when I can be energized, excited by something I have done with an outfit. Where I would love to be good at fashion, however, I absolutely do not have that particular knack. I have tried and failed many, many times at being 'fashionable'. Yet, I resort to "safe" choices, but once in a while I nail it baby! It is a great feeling. Those are the outfits which become staples in my closet for those opportunities to feel good about me when I get to go out on the town. With life the way it has been the past couple of years, there have not been many of these moments. But, those clothes still stand true and remain reliable.
What are your 'go-to' outfits? If you don't have one, save up and go find one. Splurge! It feels soooo good to find that great blouse, dress, skirt, thigh highs and sassy shoes! It feels even better when you put your outfit together and you are able to feel good because you look good.
Find a way to seek out some 'verve' in your life and celebrate it!
