Selfies

Shirt (Anthom), Skirt (2020ave), Sweater (Maiden Noir), Shoes (Zara), Bag (ASOS)

Something familiar, something simple. 

Revisiting my golden days - taking selfies in my room back when I was living in Colorado and hungry to put my style out there, even if I had to prop my dad's Nikon up on some books and use the self-timer!

It's funny how things come full circle. When I first started a fashion blog (about 4 years ago) I was itching to connect and resonate with others outside of my small suburban town. Now that I've widened my scope and in one way or another reached my goal of finding people who understand and appreciate my sense of style, I find myself stuck in a level of complacency. It took me a while to realize that although it feels like I've progressed, I'm almost further back now than I was when I started.

Isn't that the universal moral of so many lessons in life? 

I don't have to wait on anyone else to make things happen, if I'm passionate enough about something and I have the resources, what's stopping me?

I might not have what a lot of these fashion bloggers have, i.e. a photographer boyfriend (lol), but after years of practicing, do I take a damn good selfie. To me, it's not a declaration of vanity or conceitedness. It's me taking control of my grind, my creativity, my expression.
