Today's style post features this amazing skirt, an explosion of color, designed by my gorgeous friend Fruma (also known on Instagram as @Frumay_b), bold accessories from Trinkettes, and another incredible makeover by Gitty Berger.
Fruma and Gitty are both examples of women who are not afraid to show their true colors, and the culmination of all of this combined talent resulted in a look that's vibrant, alive and happy, which, no matter what we are faced with, is how we are supposed to live our lives.


But I ask, what happened to color? To the individual? To our personal true colors?


It seems we live in a society of sameness. If we are not the same then something is wrong with us, with our children, with our spouses. We are constantly seeking the approval of our friends and their mothers-in-law and their cousins before we can arrive at any decision about what to wear, how to decorate, how to behave, and even what to serve our families on Shabbos and Yom Tov.

Honestly, it's all so exhausting.

I've felt the pain and have watched friends become sick with thoughts of being perceived as different, or embarrassed to the point of dishonesty about how they really felt about...well almost everything.

And here's what I've learned: When you finally accept and embrace your own unique idiosyncrasies, that's when the world will too. Remember, Hashem created every human being to be unique. He gave us a world of endless color. Why would our true colors be anything but beautiful like a rainbow?

Unfortunately, sometimes we get a harsh reminder that life is short and tomorrow is unknown. But that shouldn't depress us! It should inspire us to live colorfully. Live vibrantly. Live with gratitude. And be your best self!
