The
arrival of Spring awakens creative energies. Closets are cleaned, spaces
redecorated, or simply adorned with fresh flowers, daydreams of travels
manifest into reality. There’s a desire to reconnect with friends, return
re-energized to a forgotten project, nourish a passion, and entertain a
creative hobby. This Spring, I’m indulging my fashionista side.
My inner
fashionista uses dress as a form of self-expression, it’s an artistic outlet
for my many moods, whims, and desires. Piecing together an ensemble empowers me
to be a creatrix celebrating my femininity and individuality. I take an
interest in trends, but only follow them if they speak and resonate with me.
As an
avid people watcher, I see Lexington fashionistas tweaking today’s trends and
rocking them out in a personalized style that is eye catchy and chic. My
creative self wows over the eclectic parade of style I see in my hometown. My
friends and coworkers consistently amaze me with their fashion creations.
Therefore, in honor of the creative tides of Spring and the fashionistas who
brighten my life and the Lexington style scene, I am introducing a Fashion
Spotlight to this blog! The featured fashionistas are locals whose artistic
ensembles celebrate their individuality and beauty.
The
first (in a long line up of cool cats!) is my kindergarten, yoga, AmeriCorps
sista soul mate, Delia Rose Gibbs. Dating back to kindergarten (we’ve got the
photos to prove it!) Delia has been glamming out in dresses. From classy black
to playful prints, Delia effortlessly intertwines feminine sophistication with
fanciful whimsical flair. Her passion for justice guides her to making
conscientious buys from local boutiques and fair trade sellers, resulting in a
look that is soft, intentional and exquisite.
Here is Miss Delia Rose (outside
of our Friday coffee place, A Cup of Commonwealth) in an eclectic and
fashionable outfit that easily transitions from work appropriate to weekend
fun!
