Fit.
I think when most people see the word “fit” they think of a descriptor for it in terms of an adjective to describe someone as “healthy” and “in good shape”.
But “Fit” to me [and for you], can mean so much more:
- “to be the proper size and shape for”
- “to cause to be the proper size and shape
- “to measure for the proper size”
- “to be a appropriate to; suit”
- “to be in conformity or agreement with; in harmony“
- “to make suitable”
- “to make ready; prepare”
- “to equip; outfit“
- “to provide a place or time for”
- “physically sound; healthy“
- “the manner in which the clothing fits“
- “an emotional reaction of extreme or elaborate degree; frenzy“
Fit can be a noun, an adjective or a verb!
I’m a 30-something “chick” who lives in So Cal and has a contracting (=very small) business. Clothing in all forms is my collectable art and my form of artistic expression. My style is boho, a bit funky, edgy, casually nice and pre-trend (<- even post-trend but being ‘on’-trend for me is boring and played out). I scan US and Asian magazines as well as popular online sites for inspiration. Like everyone else, I enjoy mixing high and low end pieces; major labels with ‘UO’ or OldNavy. Sometimes I am just utterly lazy and will wear the same 4 or 5 key items for a few weeks. My shopping haunts are a secret!
I exercise most every day. It’s my other addiction and the one that keeps me off more unhealthy, artificial, endorphin producing ones. I like extreme sports such as jet ski racing, equestrian (jumpers/hunters), martial arts, etc. I have been weight training for decades but if there is ONE thing I know about fitness and exercise it is this: YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY. The things that “worked” for me in the past…eh..not so much now. I’ve taken up Ashtanga yoga and I sweat more and work physically harder than I do during my 2hr spin or TKB + weight workouts. I’m a total newbie, though and I love the challenge of trying to learn the Sanskrit words (!) at the same time as standing on my head and counting my breaths. I’m “fitter” than I have been in many years. Fellow yoginis will be able to see my musings on this new lifestyle change!
I help style everyone from people I don’t know who inquire about dressing for a particular event or request outfit suggestions through email, to friends and family. <-The latter is truly laborous.
What’s in it for you? Aside from the thought-provoking content? Or the cringe-worthy reading of my sad but repeated attempts at proper grammar, spelling and use of capital letters? I hope the blog is an inspiration for YOUR fitting rooms and fit endeavors. You will read timely content. You will read the latest, most up-to-date information regarding trends, online shopping plus discounts, and fitness crazes that actually WORK. Oh, and how about cute, fuzzy puppies? And cupcakes?
Oh, I’m “taken”/engaged/otherwise detained.
