Since starting this blog, I have become a little more comfortable with fashion. I put more effort in to putting some outfits together and sometimes they come together effortlessly. I try more styles I wouldn’t normally choose and take more risks. This outfit was one of those that came together and wore this on date night. I like how it feels dressy yet casual. The most scandalous part is that I’m wearing these flats! These flats just pull everything together!
I think its interesting how our moods shape what we wear and how we use clothing sometimes to life our moods. I find days that I’m not in the best mind space trying to wear happy clothes to be a farce, or uncomfortable making me doubly uncomfortable in clothing and mind space.
Yesterday I had a hard day, the past couple of days have been hard. I am struggling to find the new normal that is my life without a job. I am definitely trying not to put to much pressure on myself to have life figured out… but thats what I am eerily good at. So after trying my hardest to get out of bed I made a plan, I was going to make dinner before Ramin and I went to see a movie. But first I need to put on some clothes.
Yesterday, I wasn’t happy. I was sad and needed a hug, so I wore my comfort clothing. I wore a shapeless dress with my comfy jean jacket; put on my comfy shoes and took on the world. While I was putting on this comfy outfit my mood shifted, not completely but I felt good, fierce almost.
While I took these pictures, I felt even better. I was good laughing/excited to make food…then I splurged and bought the most beautiful orange tulips cause why not. I’m feeling good.
I wonder what I’ll be like in 2 years. Hell, I wonder what I’ll be doing with my life in 2 years. It’s crazy how things are constantly changing yet seem the same all at once. And it’s every persona of our being thats constantly changing. I am not who I was 2 years ago…yet I am. We are always constantly changing and growing and shrinking and making our way through life. I am in my twenty’s and I feel like I am just about done gassing up the car to take it on a long journey. It’s like life hasn’t truly started because I haven’t been living it for myself. Or maybe I have. I am on the cusp of something and I can’t quite put my finger on what will happen next. I might succeed or I might just fall flat on my ass.
I can definitely say one thing that has most definitely stayed a constant in my life. My Style. I wear Basic Shirts, Converse, and Jeans. I don’t think I actually noticed it until I took these pictures today. Maybe the Jean Jacket is new, I wouldn’t be caught dead in that back in the early 2000’s. It is kind of an interesting realization that now is the time I want to change this. I want to improve my style and take risks. Maybe I’ll start thrifting or maybe I’ll try and remix my wardrobe and see what I can do with what I have. This should make out to be a fun spring/summer.
