Clodagh Samantha Higgins

My amazing friend Samantha Bell does some amazing things all around the world and on one of her adventures she attended the Do Lectures last year and met some inspirational people that she stays in touch with through social media – that is why I love online so much.

One of the people Sam met was Steve Edge who encourages us all to Dress for a Party every day based on a story where his Aunt saved her china for special occasions instead of  remembering every day is a special occasion.

After 12 years of corporate life, dressing up every day (I was raised to dress well to make a good impression), I was very happy to spend days working from home in shorts and t-shirt’s. The years of hair-do’s, make-up and high heels took their toll and I have to confess, I felt jaded.

Today I like just being able to get up, exercise then work. Not having to spend time to glam up or to travel to an office has been so liberating . . . until now. Recently when I have been going to meetings I feel like it would be nice to wear more clothes in my wardrobe and try new hairstyles. After reading Steve’s blog I feel inspired to dress up a bit more even if it is just some jewellery and get some of those glam shoes out of storage.

I am looking forward to the parties that come to me !

Thanks Sam & Steve.
