Thank you Daily Prompt: New Sensation for letting me post an EFTI poster to remind a some people what matters. This one free at the EFTI store.
The prompt: “Ah, sweet youth. No matter whether you grew up sporting a fedora, penny loafers, poodle skirts, bell-bottoms, leg-warmers, skinny jeans, Madonna-inspired net shirts and rosaries, goth garb, a spikey mohawk, or even a wave that would put the Bieber to shame, you made a fashion statement, unique to you. Describe your favorite fashions from days of yore or current trends you admire
EMOTIONAL FITNESS THOUGHTS
Age frees you from the clutches of fashion. I am not 100 per cent opposed to a bit of conformity blended with some individuality. And who doesn’t want to look the best they can.
And there are always the teens and a few supposed adults who just have to stand out in a crowd. Surprised they have not made nudity the thing, then in a few decades clothes would become outrageous. No that would not happen – body hate stops nudity movements.
Then there are the Burka wearers who I understand flout fashion underneath and at home – if they have the money, honey.
One of the friends I admire a great deal wears only black and usually just a black pair of pants and long-sleeved shirt. That’s her brand and it works very well for here.
Not for me, but using her as a model, I am trying to downsize my wardrobe to a few standard outfits. Pull on pants or jeans, a slightly sexy tee-shirt topped with a long sleeve shirt, sweater, or jacket of one sort or another gets me good to go. Oh, yes comfortable sneakers for walking. Change the pants to a skirt, the hiking shoes to Mary Jane type flats and I am good to go to more formal occasions.
EMOtional Fitness Tip
Too many people would be out of work if the fashion industry died. In time that might make for a better world, but before then we have to figure out how to feed the hungry, care for the ill, honor the different, and live in peace. A long way off.
So if you can afford it and love being trendy go for it, just don’t get addicted.
STAY STRONG
Thought I would end this with a cartoon. Laughs keep us emotionally strong. In fact the lack of laughter shows a lack of #emotionalintelligence.
As always thank you for all you do to support EFTI’s efforts to help others stay strong. Kindness is karma and comes back to bless you. Care and share.
Katherine

Thank you for this post. I did not respond to this daily prompt becasue I do no feel as if I have ever followed fashion, and so was a little apathetic about it. I should have been challenged, perhaps I shall do it in retrospect. Blessings Joy x
