We
have finally come to our last chapter on the search for this year's festive
holiday look. Starting with the Discover
Why Black appearance, we then moved to the feminine Silk and Knit combination,
followed by the Bright Look suggestion
and then began the New Year celebrations last week with the Touch of Gold. Now, on Christmas day and with New
Year's Eve waiting on us, we have reached our epilogue.
New
Year…aah…the symbolic act of turning the page of the Gregorian calendar and
changing the digit of another year is a waypost. The end of whatever we choose
to leave behind and the beginning of whatever we hope to welcome and embrace.
It is a good time to set new goals, make plans and pray for a successful coming
year. Whether you are one of those who like to go out and celebrate or whether
you prefer to quietly toast your loved ones, you will probably be found at
midnight with a glass of Champagne in your hand, or in my case, a glass of a rich,
red Merlot.
There
is something about the deep red, burgundy or bordeaux color that makes me feel
warm, alive, powerful and energized. There is something about drinking red wine
that slightly transforms us: from the embracing arms of the here and now, a new
perspective is suggested—a cheerful one of the moment which allows a floating
point of view but at the same time, for some unknown reason, also invites an
awakening of the senses.
All
of these sensations have come alive while collecting the following style
inspiration ideas, all of which radiate a strong presence, suggesting some kind
of hidden secret or the promise of a deep personality. That is the beauty of
building your own signature wardrobe. It can reflect either a passing phase or a
permanent notion of who you are. You can choose to mitigate the presence of the
burgundy color by combining it with other gentler colors; you can make sure that
this color is not to be ignored by using an excess of similarly colored items. The
choice is yours…
I wish you a year of celebrations, great wine, wonderful style, enormous doses of inspiration and many new roads to look for and follow. Happy New Year!
