My 6 year old said if she had a magic wand she would turn all bad people to ants, make the corona virus disappear forever and we would travel all around the world.
I said what about School? which she then said 'No mummy, we would play with fashion and travel all round the world. In that instant, I thought 'play with Fashion?'. Once It played in my head, I had a sudden epiphany! That's it!
... playing with fashion best describes my mood for July.
This July..
I would start with the ABC's of art, playing dress up in textures and fabrics
That way I know if chiffon is truly the lightest of all
I would daydream in colours, not just the ones that complement my skin
But others that are not so friendly to a brown skin girl
I would pretend I were on the beach with raffia hats as visors
and walk around bare foot in my summer whites

Maybe even try on several 6 inch heels with no where to go.
Golden and sun baked in my favourite new shorts I would think of all the happy memories shared with my sister
This July might just be the start of a summer story to remember..
