A fashion blog, and yet highly unfashionable
I went to an event today and felt so out of place. The women at this daytime event were made up, well dressed in heels with their designer bags. I showed up in a wrinkled shirt that I tried to disguise with my coat and the pants that I found and thought, eh they’d fit.…

I fell today
Yesterday, I fell down. Truthfully, a hook got caught on the bottom loop of my shoe lacing pattern and dragged me to the ground. Today, I told someone that the path was way too slippery today on account of the rain, and then I proceeded to go down it. And of course, I slipped and…

Chasing imperfection
The socks are thrown in the draw, in singles instead of properly coupled with their mate. The broccoli is cooked in a steamer bag, instead of tossed with oil and seasoning and then baked at 450 degrees. The hair washed and then conditioned for 1 minute instead of undergoing a deep condition and steam treatment.…

More mistakes
This year, I am tired to trying to be perfect. Or perhaps more accurately, I am tired of staying on the sidelines of life because I know that I won’t be able to do things perfectly therefore I don’t do them at all. This year I want to make more mistakes. I want more of…

Let fashion take you to another time
They say that fashion repeats itself, and Gen Z is certainly bringing back 90s and early 2000s style. Low rise jeans, velour track suits have all made comeback. You could attribute this to a lack originality, people just repeat styles because they can’t think of anything new. But it is deeper than that. It’s more…

The fitting room
A few years back, I desperately needed some professional clothing. It was time to start networking and attending conferences. I wanted a look that screamed, “You should hire me. I can definitely do whatever job you got.” But at school in what felt like the middle of nowhere, the local Dress Barn was the best…

Playing with makeup
Recently, I have started to play around with makeup. It is just an art form that I have always wanted to master but never had the courage to attempt. But now, nothing is really stopping me from having fun, except the fear of what people will think. You see, I have had a great time…

Don’t force it
I was planning to just a quick post today, something to keep the consistency going but nothing that would keep me to far from the festivities and relaxation of today. I have a lot of topics that I want to write about but I don’t quite know how to say that yet. So I am…

That was a good challenge
Sometimes you take challenges that have you thinking was, “This might be my dumbest idea ever,” because it pushes you so far outside of your comfort zone that you can’t help but question your intelligence for having taken the leap. And then when you do reach your goal, you’re amazed at your capabilities and proud…
