I hear my clients talk all the time about how they used to be thin, or have bum, or have great breasts, and now everything has gone south.   Well just like navy is the new black, and green is the new blue, south is the new north!  Colors come in and out of fashion, and so do geographical directions.

We have to get out of thinking about ourselves as less than we used to be.  So what if your boobs aren’t quite where they once were…that’s where great bras and garments like Spanx come in.  If your hair has gone grey and you can’t wear all the bright colors you used to be able to pull off, don’t worry, think about all the new colors you can now wear. 

Life is a journey and it’s about enjoying that journey.  Going south doesn’t have to be one step away from the grave.  Think about all the wonderful things that are south…South Africa, Australia, South America, southern food and hospitality, mardi gras, etc.  If you feel everything on your body is going south, surprise people and wear a fabulous pair of shoes.  That will give them something to look at!

Styles, fashions, trends, and ages ebb and flow.  I say flow more than you ebb.  Why not?  It’s so much fun to go shopping, find that great outfit, pull yourself together, and look fabulous.  Instead of walking around all day thinking about how everything is going south, think about the party you could have on a cruise in south America, or a cruise around the shoe department at Bloomingdales in a pair of Jimmy Choos!
