There was a teacher I met who let his students know the tone of the day through the tie he wore. One tie would suggest this was a serious day to prepare for academic success.  Another tie would suggest he was up for a bit of playful mischief. I’m uncertain if he coached his pupils explicitly on the meaning of the ties or if he was using subconscious suggestion. Either way, I think the ‘Tie Chi’ idea is rather clever, don’t you?

When my wife and I were courting, it was before the days when dog-owners were compelled to clean up after their pooches. Pavements were fraught with what we playfully called, “Dog Bombs.” But we had a partial solution. We wore boots! And if the worst would happen on our walk home, we would cheerfully declare, “It’s OK, I’ve got my boots on!”

When my best friend of Dorking Days and I saved up enough money, we bought matching pairs of half-length, zip-up-the-side cowboy boots - tan. Suddenly, there were new sheriffs in town! We LOVED our boots, took pleasure in polishing them, and in stomping about the town as if we owned it. In a sense we ‘owned’ a bolder vision of ourselves.

What struck me so powerfully is that wearing our boots ‘made’ us feel better, stronger, almost invincible. This was Mood Chi through apparel.

Boots on…

Together with his hat and mac – he was happy!

Thus, my curious mind asks you to share what items of clothing have the power to change your mood?! Is it a hat? Is it a pair of shoes? Do boots do it for you? A scarf? A perfume – even though not clothing but clinging mysteriously to the clothes? A brooch? A magic ring to bind them all?

Do,

Tell All!

Clothes bring the

Magic makes tall!

Charms that manifest, now, a change in mood.
