“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” – Lao Tzu
Spring, is that you? I sure hope so! I’ve been really feeling the winter blues lately, and I’m just itching for warmer weather and more sunshine. I guess it makes me feel like beautiful spring days are ahead when I accessorize my outfits with pops of colour. I think that encapsulates the power of clothing; it can make you feel however you want. If I want to feel uplifted, I wear bright, bold colours, and when I’m feeling tired or unmotivated, I love to wear big baggy sweaters. I really feel that you can become what you wear, or better yet, what you wear can become a part of you. Clothes are a powerful tool that let other people get a sense of who you are and how you feel. That doesn’t mean you should completely judge an entire person on what they look like, but it definitely can be an outward expression of their inner self. What do I think this outfit says about me? I think it says that I’m feminine, trendy but edgy, and as I said earlier, desperate for spring!
