Doubts And Goals
Filed in: Fashion
I have been posting outfits for a while now and I must admit that I’m not sure yet if I want to keep it up. I don’t claim to be an expert in any way so I’m afraid that it looks like I’m trying to be something I’m not. At the same time I know for my own part that I love to look at what other people are wearing. Still I don’t know how interesting my personal ups and downs in style are for people in general. I realize that it may limit my readership as I have my style and others have their. I have tried to balance this by keeping up my regular posts, but exposing myself to this extent will also limit other sides.
However, I’m not giving it up quite yet, in stead I would like to set some goals and these are:
To try harder
Especially when I’m busy I tend to give up completely. It’s either all or nothing. I want to incorporate fashion into my daily life and not just when I have a little extra time. I want to get better at dressing casual. I want it to come more natural to me so that I can get dressed in a hurry and still look good. I’m hoping this will come with a little practise, and posting pictures will hopefully give me a push in the right direction.
To take more risks
I think that for having a great style it’s necessary to take some risks. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, but I at least have to try. I want to be less concerned about matching and doing it “right” than to figure out something new.
Not to care what people think
I like to play around with different looks and I am fully aware of that I can’t get it right by everybody. That would be impossible. Normally I can just ignore that, but when posting my pictures like this I get very exposed. I can’t let critique get to me in a negative way and I can’t let it change my personal style. At good days I either try to learn from it or ignore it, but at bad days I easily let it get to me. I’m hoping that these experiences will make me stronger. PS. As I said in the comments I forgot to mention that I do want to hear the critique as well or else it all would be a waste of time. I didn’t want to scare you off from speaking your mind. I just have to learn not to take it personally even when I have a crappy day.
To shop less
I want to spend time finding new ways of matching old clothes instead of buying new clothes. Hopefully digging deeper into my closet will help me see that I probably have more possibilities than I think. I have several times bought items I just had to have only to realize that I already had something similar.
To grow stylewise
It probably lies a little in the other goals but I want to dress better.
Today I made a big decision. I am not going to complete one of the classes I’m taking this semester. I was supposed to use Easter writing an essay for it when I realized just how much I hated it. The thing is that I don’t even need it to get my Bachelor’s degree. In stead I am going to put all my focus on the one I have left. Even though I don’t need the class, taking such a decision feels scary, but at the same time I feel like alot of weight has been taken off my shoulders. It means that I will have some extra time this week and the weeks to come. It also means that being broke will be a little harder. I was planning on staying indoors the intire week, just reading and writing. Now I have to be out there in the real world with all the temptations. So I’m going window shopping to ease the pain.
