Layers

I have come to realize that life is full of layers.  Whether it be how you cut your hair, how you dress, or how you uncover and discover the meaning of your life..it definitely has layers.

As cliche as that sounds..it is true.  For example...I have been trying to grow out my hair from a very short hairdo..I want to cut it because my layers just are not working right now.  BUT, haircuts and life are not about immediate gratification.  Life is one day at a time. Hair takes forever to grow. Impatience is a nuisance...when my inner thoughts turn to ramble and negativity..I am screwed.  Cut your damn hair.  You look ugly.  Need I go on?  My inner voice sometimes speaks bullshit. It's my worse critic.

I have a shoulder injury.  It’s been 2 1/2 months and I have a while to go.  I don’t sleep..I don’t exercise..and I am a bit in the dumps.  I have put on some poundage.  It doesn’t feel good..Now is the time that  I appreciate layers!!  I can wear a skinny jean, a loose shirt and a awesome velvet duster and feel okay.  It hides the middle.  No harm  No foul. Just a funky look. Still a fashionista!!


Why listen to Wolffie?  Because I get it. The layers that have been cultivating for years are my emotional layers.  It’s crazy how I still am peeling off events and feelings that have been stuck on me. It’s liberating to peel them off.  It brings me closer to my truth.

 Life is fabulous.  Life is messy.  Sometimes I hide behind a hairstyle or fashion so I don’t have to deal with the real deal..which is me and my ever so complicated head.  I am so thankful that I found meditation.  It calms my thoughts and lets be know that it’s okay to have layers.  Don’t fight them..just peel em off so I can enjoy the finer things in life..my hubby, my kids, my friends and my self expression.  No matter where I am..that’s right where I am supposed to be.

I am at it again...

My last entry was in June of 2012!! I mean where has the time gone?  I can tell you that I was flooded with the usual mom stuff....shelping, soccer games, track and cross country meets,  high school graduations, college move ins, work, play and fun. I stopped writing this blog.  This is one of the  things that brings me personal satisfaction.  So why did I stop?  I always have something to say!!!! I wish I could answer this..but why go back? It doesn't change the fact that I just stopped and time slipped away.

So here I am..all 4 kids are gone, me and the hubby doting on two new puppies and a desire to write again. My passion is fashion. So now you get to hear about the ups and downs of a 57 year old fashionista. How does a woman my age dress? Do I give up and dress like a middle aged women who really can't stand her mid section?  Do I hide behind baggy shirts? Do I stop having funky hairdos and fore-go my red lips? No fucking way!!

So indulge me as I explore the do's and do nots of middle age Wolffie Style.  Maybe you"ll join me and let your hair down and go for the fashion jugular.  Be the old you..create a new you..but surely get rid of the I am settling my style sense you!

Moral of the story...Just because we are in the middle of the pack in life..it doesn't mean we have to lose ourselves and become bland. We can still have it going on!!

Why listen to Wolffie? Because I get it.  I get growing old and thinking that maybe I have to stop being me and conform to the expectations of the offices of who, what, why and where? You know what?  That's total crap.  If you want to go braless...go for it? If you want to wear ripped jeans...go for it?  If you want to dress Boho...go for it.  If you want to shave your head..go for it. Be the authentic YOU.

Can you relate?  More will be revealed.
