Today I got dressed, and undressed then dressed again. Nothing seemed to work quite right. Maybe it’s a bad face day, a bad body day, maybe I just should have stayed in bed. Or maybe inspiration just takes time.
Upon looking through my closet, I noticed the things I love the most are the ones with the unique details. I have this chunky sweater picked up at the thrift store about a month ago. The sweater is from the 80’s it still had it’s tags. Apparently it sat in a few closets unworn. What I love the most is the seam of the sweater… or piping it’s rather dramatic and while I love that detail, I haven’t quite figured out how to wear the whole sweater. But it’s usually how an outfit begins. It doesn’t always happen right away, sometimes it has to gestate. A detail I love that sits in my mind for some time before it comes to fruition. Like how I obsessed over painted nails long before I actually came around and did it myself. A simple action yes, but it took months for me to try it. Which reminds me, it’s time to do the nails again!

haha, if you saw a picture of my bed right now, you might giggle a little bit.
sometime i buy things because i love a detail or part of you, like you talked about, but then it might sit in my closet for months before i have that ‘aha’ moment with it and all of a sudden it is a new favorite piece that i wear all the time.

Thank you! Well yeah, those days… those days… they usually come like clockwork, but it still doesn’t change how it feels when they come!

I’m working on it! I’ve pulled it out so many times!
I am obsessed with that ring! But yeah, I hate those days when nothing you put on makes a statement you are looking for. Even in a full closet you can’t find anything to wear…sad huh?

That sweater is so lovely. And I adore the ring! It’s such a beautiful, subtle piece. The nail polish is such a great color too.

I know the feeling, sometimes I think I have nothing to wear. I find that it also depends on my mood, when I am stressed or in a hurry nothing will work, but when I spend just a few minutes before going to bed think what I will wear the next morning I always come up with a new idea or combination. I have emergency outfits - well tested outfits when I want to play it safe.
Lovely jumper, I can see myself wearing it too when I want to hide from the world
