“We must welcome the future, remembering that soon it will be the past; and we must respect the past, remembering that it was once all that was humanly possible.” – George Santayana
I think it might be safe to say that fall is finally here! Since it has been getting cooler, I have been itching to wear some of my new long sleeved dresses. This one is definitely a favourite! I just love how the big frills and subtle a-line fit give off an ’80s vibe. I should specify that the dress reminds me of the 1980s, not 1880s, because that’s more of the style of my boots. I was looking for a Victorian style pair of boots for a while, and these definitely fit the bill. It’s neat to think how trends and fads can make a comeback, and especially interesting how one outfit can be a mix of different centuries. I might even be channelling the 1960s with my circular handbag! Style is like a venn diagram – old and new, with overlapping similarities. Because of this, it may seem difficult to be completely original. This is especially true in the world of blogging and social media where I tend to see the same outfits or trending items repeated over and over. I often think that we sometimes forget how to be ourselves! What’s the solution? Have fun, be bold, and most of all, never be afraid to just be you!
