The Zodiac Dresser: Aries

Today's post celebrates Aries, the very first sign in the astrological calendar and this year's Zodiac Dresser Series. This time around, I'm going to include more personal thoughts and haiku about each sign. Aries is my sun sign, so thankfully I'm starting with something familiar and personal.
Aries: number one!; a fiery boss who likes to laugh; an upbeat leader.

Sure, Aries can be bossy, combative and childish but they also know how to get things done with a smile. Associated with the color red, this sign is sporty and saucy, so I chose cowboy boots paired with a putana lace dress.

Aries is a cardinal fire sign, meaning it is initiator within its element. As a result, I liken Aries to a spark: bright, passionate, and quick. We tend to love the starts of things, but not so much the tedium involved in persisting and finishing them. As a result, when it comes to fashion, Aries really like to set bold--even shocking-- trends, but don't tend to commit to any one style for too long. Famous Aries Lady Gaga is a great example.

Are any of you fellow Aries? How would you describe your style and personality? --m
