Mood: Wishy Washy
Weather: May Gray
Style Savvy: Even though SoCal is having it’s typical “May Gray” weather, I’m feeling the summer vibes. I’ve been gravitating towards a white color palette for my wardrobe recently. It feels crisp, fresh, airy, classic and chic. And buying separates allows for many outfit creations in my wardrobe. Nothing says summer like an LWD (little white dress). They’re so many cute options that fit any personal style.
My outfits always consist of some classic element because I like to wear my clothes year after year. I’ll add a trending piece like an accessory or jacket to update a look, keeping it relevant. If it’s a dress that’s not timeless but I love it, I’ll go for it and know that this will be one of my trend pieces I wear for a season only.
I’ve mentioned before, if you’re going to invest in a few trend items for the season, opt for no more than 6 pieces. My rule is 2 tops, a bottom, dress/skirt, bag/shoe/accessory, and jacket. If you do the math and multiply 6 pieces times 4 seasons, it’s 24 pieces total for the year. Because these are “trend” items, I suggest not spending more than $50 on each piece. That’s $1,200 for a whole year. Not bad for 24 pieces.
Below see how I’m wearing a few of my favorite white pieces from my distressed white denim skirt (also worn HERE, HERE and HERE) to this boho style linen jacket with tassels, OTS boho style dress and crisp white linen short sleeve button down shirt.
What’s Going On: I get stuck on the details with my creative content which isn’t productive. This has been happening a lot the past week. I keep flip flopping on style aesthetic, capturing a mood, lighting, less lighting, camera angles, etc. Especially when it comes to editing photos and video. I can’t settle on what I like right now. It could also be the fact that I’ve been PMSing all week. Why is it during this particular week every month, I want to change something up drastically? For instance, I just chopped my hair off. It’s a cut I’ve had several times before so I knew I would like it. And now, I’m not happy with my photos here on my blog or Instagram and want to change up the editing. I’m not happy with the way I’m shooting video, so that’s been on pause.
Hopefully this is due to my hormones and I’ll be able to settle on things in a couple more days. Do you ever get like this?
