PALM SPRINGS

So it is Spring. And I have palm trees on my dress. Glad I got the title of the post explanation out of the way so early, now I can talk about Summer and how it is upon us. Now I'm not a person that has huge emotional ties to a season. But for whatever reason, I have been craving some Summer this year. I realised this mid-Winter, when I opened my wardrobe to discover a tonne of flirty dresses and playsuits, and a lone pair of trousers.

One such dress that has been hoarded away until recently is this. A bright print twist on the humble t-shirt dress. It's no secret that I love a t-shirt dress (check out my past posts- in fact I have a similar dress from last year, and it's from the same brand here), so expect a unintentional series on them this season. So I guess all I'm really trying to say is 'Hooray for Summer!'

WITHOUT WARNING

Another attempt of shuffling my wardrobe. Trying different pieces together. Creating something out of the ordinary. I'll admit, this isn't probably something I'll wear again. Perhaps it's a little too eclectic for my taste. Nonetheless, what's important is that I tried something unusual- without warning, just on a whim. It would be unreasonable to expect every change to be good, in fashion and in life. But you'll never know what could happen unless you take that initial step. And besides, tomorrow is another outfit. Another chance to try something new.

CROSSING BOUNDARIES

What to wear when you have no idea what to wear... If you're anything like me, something like this is generally the result. You want to be comfortable, hence t-shirt. Yet feminine, hence high heels. While having something totally out of left field, hence palazzo pants (especially in baby blue). It's easy to fall for a 'go to' look when times (or your laundry pile) are desperate. But I encourage you to not reach for that dress, or those shorts. Instead, be a little daring with your choices. Be a little unusual. After all, an outfit is not forever, it's only one day. So why not test the fashion boundaries- and maybe even cross a few.

FREE FEELING

Messy hair. Loose tanks. The way Sunday's ought to be. And how they will be as soon my exams are done... I know they say you shouldn't wish time away, but this time next week, I'll be free!

NOT NINETEEN FOREVER
