"She had a womanly instinct that clothes possess an influence more powerful over many than the worth of character or the magic of manners."
Louisa May Alcott
The magic of manners. Such a lovely thought for such poignantly pitiful sentiment. The idea of clothes wielding such an authority makes me ill. But accessories! Well that's a whole 'nother story.
I do love the word talisman! From the antique compass that I wear & clutch when I need to remember my "way" to the glass locket that holds a pull from Sweet's nuptial brunch & bids blessing to "blossoming relationships" . . . an adornment on a mission has (sometimes quite literally) my name written all over it. Here's to the magic of a well-mannered idol.
Today, I'd like you to consider a mannerism that you'd like to cultivate. Then document, through the use of photograph, caption and Instagram, the something old or something new that you'll wear to make the magic happen. #HocusPocus and . . .
