Retro Reverence
Isabelle opines on the old, but outstanding
Through a baby’s eyes, all the world is new.
Extinguish your preconceived and pejorative adult assessments. Look at your surroundings with the lenses of a little one. Enjoy the expansionary growth of viewing life’s earlier accessories through an unfiltered, unaccustomed, un-jaded set of eyes.
Rediscover. Reawaken. Rejuvenate. Rejoice in the rebirth.
Why is hindsight 20/20? Time increases knowledge. My grandmother always said, “Fashion comes full circle.” Her attic bore testimony to the wisdom -- and practice -- of her words. It was familial fun to practice putting aside residual “first-time-around” associations, and re-visit all varieties of designs with the beautiful baggage of amplified life experience!
As you cast a grown-up gaze upon pieces of the past, discern fresh fashionability in items whose initial debut is decades gone by.
Patina makes perfect. Nostalgia becomes new. Kitsch is au courant.
The objects are unchanging; the perspective is.
Old school equals trés cool.
Don’t antiquate; appreciate.
