Exciting things are happening at Tattered Rose!!
We have abundant new arrivals for Fall 2015, with lots of Sympli the
Best and lots of romantic, totally wearable clothing, jewellery and
accessories for all you tattered roses!
Some days I feel more
tattered than rose, but when they both come together, watch out......the
world holds so many possibilities!
Please visit as soon as you can....you won't be disappointed!
On my daily walk this morning, there was a solitary crow at the roof
peak of the school I pass by...it was crowing it's heart out. Perhaps,
he too was miffed by the loud sounds of children playing in the
schoolyard. But I digress....
Actually, it made me think of the colour (or should I say, non-colour)
BLACK. As a child, I never wore black. I didn't know about wearing black
back then, as it was many decades after the Victorian mourning period,
where it was accepted that family members of a lost loved one would wear
all black for some time after the death.
When I was about 6 or
7 years old, my older sister, who was about 18 or 19 years old, came
back home to live again, after seeing the world for a few years. I would
watch with fascination, as she put her makeup on and did her hair while
getting ready for a date, wearing black lingerie and sometimes even a
black sweater or pants. I noticed the black but still, it wasn't
appropriate for children to wear black.
Fast forward to my first
real job in business. A young lady who became my friend wore a lot of
black and even though I greatly admired her style, I was still into
wearing mostly colour with some grey thrown in.....
Then,
somewhere down the road, in my own sweet time, I too developed a
fondness for wearing black. As most of my customers will attest, I am
usually wearing black and/or grey...my two main wardrobe colours and the
ones I always feel most like myself in.
There are a lot of us who
wear a lot of black and Tattered Rose has plenty of black clothing as
well as Gothic & Steampunk clothing.
Black crows, black cats, black clothing....what do they call it when things just come together like that?
The End (for now)
