How You Would Really Dress if Reality Didn’t Impinge on Your Spirit, by Maude Rith


First of all in velvet
The drapey, shimmery kind that’s 85% rayon and 15% silk.
And let’s say you can hand wash it when needed.
Rich colors but lots of them, your choice
Your favorites, the mood-lifting ones.
Cool colors warm colors
Colors that calm colors that command
Colors that say or shout this is who I am
Right Now
Add a few bits of chiffon
Beads, fancy buttons
Shoes that feel like you’re barefoot
Something that makes a sound, bangles
That clank, necklaces that rustle, fabric that swishes
As you move to remind you you’re
Dressed just the way you
Like, to please yourself
And you are pleased.
