Any woman will tell you that apparel is a complex and often complicated affair. Requirements vary over the years and with the seasons. Often a single day demands at least one clothing change, sometimes more. If we are sensible and use limited storage space effectively, we need to edit our wardrobes and are often required to get rid of good, wearable items. The expression 'nature abhors a void' holds true as new items soon rush to fill the empty hangers and drawers creating a revolving door of clothes. Also, consider the psychological aspect of clothing, investigate feelings about and attachment to certain pieces owned. Body coverings aside, the required realm of footwear, accessories, and handbags is enough to boggle the mind. This 100-page journal can be thought of as your best friend and can at least help you navigate the winding and sometimes rocky road of apparel. It might bring peace of mind knowing you are not alone and that practically every woman (and many men) encounters the same or a similar struggle with the daily chore of dressing for success.
There is no right way to use the prompts provided. You can use them as inspiration for writing or as a starter by jotting down every word on a journal page that comes to mind beneath a topic word, then expand by writing sentences, paragraphs, or any other ideas that spring to mind. Perhaps design a flower from it. Make a prompt the central word circled on the page and write words that radiate off it like petals. Just have fun contemplating and exploring the little black dresses in your life and the occasions they represent.
The blank pages throughout the journal are for your visual notes, quick sketches, photos and items torn from magazines. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. Add color if you wish using markers, pencils and watercolor brush pens. Be creative and make the journal your own.
