A Different Kind of Fashion Inspiration

Song of the Day: Magic from Xanadu

Last night I had the opportunity to re-watch the movie: What the Bleep Do We Know? 

If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend this amazing look into Quantum Physics and the power of the mind. At one point the movie showcases the work of Masura Emoto, a Japanese scientist who found that water molecules became vibrant when placed on positive words and deformed when on negative words. The thinking goes that if we are 70% water, what would happen if we wore positive messages on our body?

Well a cool little company called ZENsei is trying to find out. I came across them late last summer when I bought the "Summer Dress"  pictured here,

largely because it looks fabulous with the Gingko flats and more pulled together for running errands than sweats (not that I would really wear sweats). What I didn’t notice until later was that there was a message on the inside of the dress that read:

Be Fearless.
Understand You Have the Strength and Power to Do
Whatever You Choose.

Now I tend to get really excited about dresses and may sometimes feel that I have a relationship with them, but this is the first time one talked to me! This was particularly cool because I was going through a bit of a rough time and I felt like this message was exactly what I needed, when I needed it. And now that it's summer again and life is getting more and more “interesting”, it’s once again the perfect dress at the perfect time.

For something more eco-friendly, check out this awesome hoodie made of organic cotton and lycra! 

And whatever you’re wearing, be aware of the subtle and no-so-subtle messages you take in every day. If they make you feel bad, stop listening to them. Life is too short, and, it could be the dress talking, but I do think You Have the Strength and Power to Do Whatever You Choose.

You have to believe we are magic.
Nothin' can stand in our way.
You have to believe we are magic.
Don't let your aim ever stray.
