Glitter Girl

September 2, 2011

What do glitter and fine china have in common? Both tend to be reserved for special occasions. At least in my life. Well, I don’t actually have any fine china but I have heard that most people who do only use it for holiday or special meals. I used glitter in the same way. Actually, I would only wear it a few days a year. Specifically when I was attending the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Anything goes at the festival and that includes wearing glitter……lavishly. In a recent conversation, I shared how much I love wearing it and the person I was talking to asked “Why don’t you wear it every day?” I had never even thought about it. I mean, glitter at a networking event? But I decided that I don’t have to wear it where everyone can see it. What if I wore it inconspicuously? So I tried it and loved it. Every time I see a fleck or two of glitter on my clothes, it makes me smile and reminds me how much fun life can be.

What do you reserve for “special occasions”? Why not choose to make every day special?
