About the photo. There is always "that guy". This is a California Quail - they're ground birds, like chickens. But there's always "that guy" that has to be different. "That guy" is identifying as a house finch (bird feeder bird). We love "that guy" doing his thing, his way. This is the "My Way" blog - I started it when I got my dx for diabetes, but there has always been a fashion/color thing going on. You'll still read about the medical piece, but far more about the color and fashion part of my life.

Leaning into Secondary 3

 I'm also writing a post on using a description, rather than a label. That's important here.

When I use a "label" - it's a kind of box. I *must* be...[fill in the blank].

Even the Spring palettes I have show me a selection of floral/stripe/whatever patterns that this label should utilize.

Using Descriptions leaves me in a different space.

The description doesn't tell me what I should be, it tells me what I already know.

I AM

  • casual
  • zesty
  • textured
  • confident
  • artsy
  • creative
  • and all the thing

Moving away from a s2 and leaning into s3 hasn't made a lot of difference, except I'm pairing more substantial jewelry that's been sitting in my drawer.

And it's hot here, so no jackets right now...but the jackets that I felt guilty for loving - the fabric/texture is in the "three range" so I can wear them with joy.

The sweaters that should have been a comfortable s3, but made me feel like a flannel-graph...they can stay in the back of the closet...

So for me, moving to a different secondary isn't so much about a change...but more about accepting what already describes me.
