Here’s another page or three in your Book of Myself. Think about the clothes that you wear and clothes that you have worn in the past.
Make a list of clothes from your life. What do you remember? What was comfortable? What not so comfortable? What clothes did you really like to wear?
Make a list of clothes that you like to wear now. Do you have different outfits for different occasions and activities?
What colours do you really like wearing?
What materials do you like? Could you say why?
Add one or two details about each item of clothing:
Woollen coat, tomato red, big and roomy. I liked to push my hands into its pockets.
Grey scoop necked dress. I can move easy when I wear it.
Big red clogs with crisscross straps. The wild bit of me.
Pale, pale pink pashmina that I left on a field in Oslo.
Look through the list. Pick an item that has a story attached. Where did it come from, why did you like it, where did you wear it, what did other people say, what did you think? Tell the story of what happened.
