Say after me: It's no better to be safe than sorry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Black cropped sweater, H&M. High waisted stonewashed grey jeans, Cheap Monday. DIY print t-shirt made into some kind of one shoulder tank top, from my teens, don't remember where I bought it. Grey blazer and white lace bra, Monki. Boots, Vagabond.

One of the many reasons why I started this blog was that I was so bored with my own style. I felt like there was no point dressing up, and whenever I did, I always looked exactly the same: the clothes and make up I know I look good and feel comfortable in. 

That usually meant a loose fit black dress, either boots or litas, concealer, mascara, blush and red lipstick. No, wait: that's what it always meant. No exceptions. 

And no harm in that, you could say, of course one should wear what she feels confident in! That's absolutely right. Except for the fact that I love dressing up! I love trying out new looks, being inspired by others and attempt to put my own spin on trends. And I'm sick and tired of always being safe.

So, I decided to start a blog where I could share all of this with you. A reason to put on something nice in the morning. A reason to take chances, go in the opposite direction of what I normally would, try new things and explore all of the endless possibilities that fashion provides us with.

About this look: I was going for a late 80's/early 90's feel, a style that I adore but rarely try to work myself. Make up-wise, I was going for the opposite of my usual natural eyes/bright red lips: jet-black eyes and nude lips. Ten years ago I rocked that look almost every day! Now it took a couple of hours to get used to it, but I kind of don't want to wash my face tonight, haha. (Oh wow, imagine what I would look like tomorrow morning if I don't...)
