Hello everyone!
It feels so good to be back to my regular schedule!
I have missed it terribly the last two weeks! Although my styling project was fun, I am very happy to be back to my regular posting. For those who don't know, on IG I embarked on a personal project to build summer outfits every day for the last two weeks of August. I filmed building these outfits and posted them to IG. I just wanted to do something different and push myself out of my comfort zone a bit. It seemed to be received pretty well!
I enjoyed it myself. I would definitely to it again. However, it was not without its' challenges. For one thing, it is time consuming to film videos. A 10 second video can take like 45 mins to film (okay maybe that is a TINY bit of an exaggeration, but it does take a fair amount of time! More than you'd think!) Combined with a full-time job, I really had to really be mindful with managing my time -which is a good lesson in itself!

Another thing that became a bit of a frustration during the summer outfit project was that I was not able to shoot looks, which I have found I really enjoy! I know that sounds silly, of course I enjoy it! But it is not just the taking pictures, it is creating the content, the sorting through it later, it is the editing pictures, editing videos. All of that I love! And I did not have nearly as much time to do all that.
I had to write down A LOT of outfit ideas I had over the course of the last two weeks. Today's look is one of them! And first of all, I want to say that I was heavily inspired by the creator, @byaimeekelly, on IG for this post. Actually, I have been very inspired by her a lot lately! But she definitely influenced this look. The flower specifically! I saw her wear a similar, large flower accent piece and I thought it was cute, but I couldn't imagine how I could make it work for myself. Then I came accross this lovely, large, blue flower pin on Amazon and didn't hesitate to add to bag.
I did have this idea in mind. I had no idea how it would actually turn out, but I was determined to try it!

At first, I was a little weary of it. Does it look dumb? Can I really pull it off? Is it too big?
Then I continued to build the look. First the yellow slingbacks, they made for a nice pop of color. Then the chain belt, for a little extra character. Then I left the shirt partially unbuttoned to create a more carefree, easy-going kind of look. I got some second opinions from my sis and mom, both of whom commented on the size of the flower, BUT they both liked it! At the end of the day though, I took the chance. I liked how everything came together. I liked the added fun of the flower. I liked that it gave me a new way to make my clothing and styling more interesting.
Really, at the end of the day, how you feel in your clothes and outfits is really what matters most!
I hope you enjoyed this styling, and I will link the large flower pin down below!
Thank you for reading and have a great week ahead!
