There’s one constant in life that is certain:
people don’t like change. Well, most people don’t want to welcome it, I should
say. Change, for the most part, poses an effort to adapt to something new, and
people typically prefer to stay lazy and do things how they’ve been going as of
late.
But for me, I’m the opposite. While I do enjoy
my normal monotony as much as the next person, there’s something exciting about
switching it up, trying something new, and revisiting old things. Some of those
things I like to revisit are clothes.
Like most people, I have two to three
different wardrobes. Summer apparel probably takes up the most of my closet
simply because those clothes can be worn anytime of year, even under the
heavier stuff I’d put on during winter. On the opposite hand, winter gear is
specific only to the winter, and my sweaters, boots, and under shirts are all
relegated to a few months out of the year.
It’s nice to dig into those old shipping boxes
containing my heavier stuff, though. For one, I like the cold because I’m just
always so dang hot. Summer is a time when you can wear little clothing and move
about freely, but I always feel like I’m sweating too much all the time. But in winter, I can step outside to cool off, even
if it means I’m not fully dressed to the max with heavy coats and whatnot. I
quite enjoy the colder months for that reason, but I also like them in order to
break out some of the heavier sweaters I own. And some of my boots are
specifically made to handle snow or slush.
So whether or not you enjoy one season or the
other, try to embrace the changing of the seasons as a natural, yearly event
that allows you to pull out the shipping boxes in storage and wear some of your
more obscure clothing items. Perhaps there’s an old pair of shoes you have been
neglecting that could fit perfectly with a winter outfit. Maybe you haven’t yet
worn that scarf your in-law got you last Christmas. Or maybe you keep
forgetting about that pair of gloves you could use when driving to work.
No matter the case, welcome the fall season in
as a chance to dress differently or express your sense of style in a new way.
By letting a drab and predictable routine of the same old same old determine
what you wear, you become kind of boring in general.
So, switch it up! What could it hurt to be a
bit more fashionable and have fun with what clothes you do own?
