Fashions have evolved over the centuries from when man first wore animal skins to keep himself warm and comfortable. We have come along way over time and so many fashion trends have some and gone. Fabrics have changed so much and now we have lighter more synthetic man made fabrics that stretch to adapt to our ever changing figures.   Fashion can be fun ~ we adorn ourselves with garments and jewels to capture out own individuality   How we dress can change our mood, we can feel so uplifted by what we wear.  Colour choices play a significant role in capturing our mood and our spiritual reflection.   Purple is a popular choice these days and purple is a high colour in the spiritual light, so I believe many are awakening to their own inner power.       Enjoy browsing all I have to contribute to the "World of Fashion" from my own imagination and the inspiration I have found through many other people             Colours & Meanings   Wearing Purple Wear purple when you want to encourage fantasy, mystery and imagination.     VIOLET/PURPLE governs the CROWN chakra, at the top of the head.
