Content Changes (Slow Fashion Talk)

I think since shifting my blog content into this lifestyle genre, I've become a lot more inspired to write about things that have helped to improve my life in some way, and other times, I will simply just want to share my thoughts on different ideas on topics that I find interesting, like minimalism, slow fashion, capsule wardrobes, intentional living/habit building and so on. A lot of my inspiration comes from the things I watch or listen to on YouTube or on different podcasts, or even from my own personal experiences. 

One thing that I've been reflecting on is the kind of content I've been sharing on Instagram. If you follow me on there, you'll know that I love to work with what's already in my closet and pushing my boundaries when it comes to being creative with what I decide to wear. I enjoy the process of finding different accessories that can play up the vibe of my outfit, or simply playing with silhouette and proportions by balancing out the shape of my clothes for a more polished/put together or relaxed look. My style journey has evolved a lot since graduating from high school, and what I realize now is that as fun as it is to be creative with one's wardrobe and expand on what you already have, what I want to do now is take a break from Instagram as a creator and go more in depth with what it really means to understand your style and to work your way up from "being fashionable" to "being stylish". Style is something that I believe anyone can achieve, and when people say "I'm just not good at being fashionable" or "I don't consider myself to be a fashionista", I feel as if there's this misconception or limiting belief that's being placed. Fashion in general is not just for people who are wealthy or privileged. You don't need to own expensive shoes or high end, designer clothes just to be "fashionable", nor do you need to be like anyone else in order to emulate a good sense of style. 

My goal for the next couple months is to create a guide that helps people to express who they really are on the inside through their choices in clothing. I feel like this is something that a lot of people could use help on because in my opinion at least, getting dressed is one of my favorite parts of the day. If you feel the same way and think this resource could be helpful to you, then I hope you'll stick around!
