Writing my article on the "New 60's fashions", I began reminiscing back to the days when I am proud to say, I was part of the "Hippie Generation", also referred to as the "Swinger Generation".
It was all about "Peace and Love". Our generation believed we could change the world.
We removed our bras, did many things that are now frowned upon and tried to free ourselves of all that we disdain. We hoped for a future where we could be free, have equality, and where wars would be a thing of the past.
We were the true "Flower Children". Our music, clothing, and love for all showed our changing attitudes toward society.
After this brief, but wonderful decade, came the "Yuppies". Their materialistic, conservative ways of thinking, seemed to undo everything we had hoped would last forever.

"Welcome Back To The 60's, With A Twist"
As you walk through some clothing stores, especially boutiques, this season, it is apparent you will be viewing styles of the 60's. There is definitely a twist or modernization to these fashions. I have seen the good, bad, and ugly resemblances which will forever be etched in my mind.
The florals seem to always appear every Spring. The neon brights show up in the large geometric prints, stripes, and are beyond bold.
What I really love are the chunky, large, platform heels, since I am a shoe lover, and the wilder the shoe, the better. I consider these to be works of art.
Being brought back in time, to this decade, brings back memories, both good and bad.
We must decide whether or not we want to partake in wearing these looks.
While the styles go back in time, it is unfortunate we cannot go back to our younger years to fully enjoy these vintage looks.

"Inspiration"
"Inspiration"
Being "inspired" can send our heart racing, our mind wandering, and motivate us to accomplish unbelievable goals.
Retiring several years ago, I have been feeling unproductive, and somewhat bored. I keep searching for projects to stimulate my already vivid imagination.
The other day, I read a simple statement, "What inspires you?" These three little words reflected back in time when I knew what direction to follow to achieve what I loved.
I believe, as we grow older, we can lose sight of our long, lost inspirations that kept us moving forward. Life gets in the way, and we can easily forget what we set out to conquer.
We must never lose our enthusiasm, as it encourages us to pursue all that is important in our journey. "What inspires you?"
