189: Sincerity is In

(pink robe, pink living room, soy coffee)

Got this cute mug thrifting the other day:

Isn't it pretty? It has a chip on the other side, but do you think I care? No, no I don't.

Yoga newsflash: I did my first headstand last week! All by myself, no wall, no spotter. Held it for 30 seconds!

I don't usually give a rat's ass what is "in" or "out" but this is one trend worth following:

You heard it here, Phoniness is Out!

Yay! Sincerity is In! 

(From the Game of Happiness, featured in the previous post.) 

I have been stressing a little about what to wear to Quilt Market. I mean, I will be meeting a lot of people and I want to feel comfortable and look good, of course. Part of me wants to really plan outfits and be all decked out and professional-looking. But then I remember that Phoniness Is Out!

I am sure I will still wear heels  at some point, which I rarely do in real life, but that is because I am pretty sure that most of the designers are Amazons, and I am ... well... more elfin.  And I do love heels. But I am also thinking I will wear jeans, multiple times without washing- because that is when they fit best. And  hoodies, since I pretty much live in them. I need to remember to present myself as who I am, not who I think others expect me to be.
Sincerity is In!   And thank god, because I am a terrible faker.

A little affirmation for your day:

I like that. Phoniness is out.
Wear something comfortable, there will be tons of people in jeans. (and wierd quilted garb) Market will be great, but big, so if heels are painful after a while, be forwarned.

You're right... they are all Amazonian over there, but I'll be joining you in the land of Elves... I'm only 5-ft tall (with shoes on!) Can you top that? And speaking of shoes, I'll be wearing tall shoes but not the stiletto kind, more like chunky, platform sandals in funky colors... that's my style I won't change it for anyone! :) See ya next week!!!

I'm was just going to put all my eggs in the phoniness basket in an effort to get in good with the cool kids. Thank goodness for you and for the game of Happiness! Sincerity is IN!

Where are the pink walls?
I know you will look the best if you wear what you want to wear. I'm so jealous you can go to the quilt market. Are you planning to take a bunch of pictures there and show us here? That would be awesome...

The mug is so pretty! A chip? Who cares;)
