Hi everyone! 

Today I put together a classy, more elegant outfit. I started off with my thrifted royal blue skirt. I hadn't worn it in over a month and I felt that it was time to revive it from the depths of my closet. I had no idea what to wear on top until I saw my Brandy Melville turtleneck peeking from the corner of my eye. I grabbed it, despite being see through, and headed out the door! I feel like these conservative outfits allow free reign for the more risqué pieces to show through. Though my bra is from Walmart, I still feel like it is cute enough to slightly display with my outfit. For jewelry I added the Missguided necklace because this piece scream elegant, if it were to have vocal cords and say anything. For shoes, I kept it simple and easy to walk in with my H&M booties. I love these because they are so functional but also have some sort of heel to make me feel powerful.

Now, on to the deeper meaning behind this post...

I'm not going to pretend that I am in love with my body. It is factual that I resent my body more than I praise it. But today was different. I put on this outfit the night before and thought "Eh, good enough." But something amazing, no, magical came over me. I put on my outfit today and saw a whole new person. I saw the beauty within myself. Not the edges that outlined my body that made me a lumpy and "imperfect", but the good I had in my heart. It radiated like never before and I suddenly felt at peace with myself. 

After so many months of faking the "I look beautiful" statement I actually felt it deep within myself. It was so powerful that I will NEVER go back to the life I lead before. And that is really what I want to do with my blog, but through fashion. 

Fashion means so much more to me that "looking good". Fashion is my emotion. Fashion is my muse. Fashion is what inspires me to get up in the morning and pursue a productive day. And this is something no one can ever take away from me.  

Stay well dressed everyone, I will be back tomorrow with another post!
