On some sad, glommy winter days, I'm in the mood for fun! And you know what lifts my spirit? Mixing colours, prints and wearing warm clothes which also bring a smile on my face.
I know, I know, perhaps some of the clothes I'm wearing make me feel like a child once again and I really love the feeling. Most people are wearing dark colours only, which, as you know, I find quite sad (especially if you they don't own it and the styling is non-existent) as it looks really boring and safe. And damn, I hate safe choices. Never was, never will be a fan of those.
In today's outfit I mixed everything: I like to call it an "eclectic cocktail". Glittery hair clips, the softest teddy coat I got this year, cable-knit jumper, some bling, colourful eyeshadow, a gorgeous leopard print satin skirt from SHEIN (the jacket is also from SHEIN), neon pink tights and finally, a bright red bag and black boots. I do look like an oversized 5 year-old girl, but I love every single piece I'm wearing and how they work together too!
The whole look also has a 90's grunge vibe to it, which was the whole idea. I'm a nostalgic at heart and often find myself dreaming of past eras instead of enjoying the present. I feel like everything is too "mixed" now, too inspired from the past, and it seems like not even the time has its personality anymore...it's difficult to classify, put a name on the past 10 years in fashion, it's a bit of everything. Therefore more often than I'm supposed to, I love to bring back some good old trends, feelings, vibes, to live in the past and continue to hope that one day, people will leave in a Kardashian-free world once again, with values and aesthetics restored back to normal. Is that too much to ask?
