love for everything gingham

Whenever I’m in some sort of a style crisis my go-to print is/has always been "GINGHAM" because I feel like you can style it however you want, for example, you could go for a head-to-toe gingham look like I did here or play it safe and pair it with nude colors such as a skirt or pants. Although personally I have always loved this print and have worn it on many occasions, in fact whenever I am out shopping I automatically gravitate towards this print. This explains the dedicated gingham section in my closet haha. My love for gingham has always put me in uncomfortable-tinged-with-a-bit-of-embarrassment situations because let’s face it; it is redolent of a tablecloth, right? And on many occasions, I have been jokingly accused by people that I stole their apron or table cloth or all the other things that can possibly be made out of this undervalued fabric! lol. Earlier such occasions would get me a little offended but now I know just how to get them to stop doing that which is pretty simple, you just agree with them + have a good laugh and forget about the whole thing. BUT still never giving up wearing it!!

I’m sure we all have been commented on or suggested to change our supposedly delinquent ways, and it not only applies to trivial things as to how you dress but to things of much higher importance like for example what career you choose, the situations might be different but all that is expected from us is to tread on the path deemed fit by others, but what worked for them might not for us right?! So I suggest you be the black sheep and not in any way feel patronized by anyone and yes, this is what I would say to all the other budding bloggers out there, be weird be distinguishable BE A FASHION RENEGADE!

Wow, I didn’t know that my thoughts on a trivial gingham-related subject would get me to go so deep! One more reason to love gingham!  



(Lowkey) gearing up for the weekend hope everyone else is!

Love

I don't know why, but I have this propensity to disappear sometimes. Not in the real sense, but there are times when I just want to lay super low. I have come to realize that I need that sometimes just to feel more at ease. It's a weird coping mechanism that I have always denied having.

The last time I felt that way was in 2019, and it's 2023 now. I am officially a recluse (not that I am proud of it, haha).

Sometimes I really can't help but miss how regularly I used to post here, the whole process that it involved: putting together outfits, location hunting for pictures, editing them, and then sitting down to write... It was almost like clockwork for me. But then blogging slowly took a backseat, and it wasn't even because I have other "exciting" things to do, like for instance, having a great social life.

Sometimes I feel a nagging urge to change everything and be this individual who likes taking risks and is fun to be around, but I shudder at the thought of projecting a false facade of myself because that won't be "ME"!

The other day, while I was working I accidentally hit the bookmark for my blog. The next thing I knew, I was scrolling through the posts, reading my thoughts from not so long ago. I was literally thrown down a rabbit hole of nostalgia.

Part of the reason why this blog holds a special place in my heart is because it has been with me since back when Instagram wasn't even a thing. It has been one of the few places where I am comfortable penning my thoughts down. 

Since the last time I posted, my life has changed a lot. There have been many ups and downs, but despite all that, I am currently in a place that I have always longed to be in. Besides the relentless work-related stress, I don't have anything else that presents itself as a reason for me to lose my sleep.

I have also been able to reconnect with my old hobbies that I wasn't able to dedicate much time to, such as reading and of course, blogging (yay!). I am glad that everything is coming full circle, and I am able to once again enjoy the things I once lived for.
