Let the Shoes Do the Talking

Comfort is key for me, so there are always days when I just want to dress comfortably without the hassle of heels, skirts or accessories. This day was precisely one of those! As much as I love wearing pretty tops and flowy skirts, I equally enjoy wearing loose t-shirts and jeans on a daily basis. For this look I decided to keep my pieces very monochromatic and inject some colour through my accessories instead. Although I have to admit that my choice in colours for this day turned out to be horrible, as the temperature was unusually high that day and wearing dark colours in hot weather just spells DISASTER! I felt like I was slowly being roasted in my black jeans! *facepalm*

I'm not quite sure whether you guys know exactly how and where I take my usual outfit shots, and how these photos come about. So let me tell you guys that my set-up involves me, my trusty tripod and the comfortable setting of my back-garden. One of the downsides of not having someone to take my outfit shots and depending on a tripod set-up is, that I'm limited to where I can shoot my photos. I've always wanted someone to photograph my outfits for me as I have a greater choice in the settings for my photos but never found anyone who was available or willing. So when one of my best-friends volunteered to photograph one of my outfits, I seized the opportunity. But to be quite honest, I soon became unsure whether this was such a good idea as I'm actually very camera-shy and awkward when others take photos of me. In addition to that, the very thought of me taking my photos in public and having people see me (and in my mind I feel like they're judging me in a sense) absolutely terrifies me. But in the end, I swallowed my fear, albeit some coaxing on my friend's behalf and some compromising on the setting (I insisted that the first few shots where taken in an area where there weren't anyone around). All in all, the photos turned out really good and by the end of our time there, I was finally becoming comfortable with posing for the photographs in public (the final photo in this post stands as proof).

Ta-dah! I'm finally back to blogging! I can't believe it's been almost 6 months since my last outfit post and it honestly feels like I'm starting from square one. I basically have to relearn all the tricks and routine I had all those months ago, so please excuse me if there's any discrepancies with my previous style of writing/blogging but I'll try and fall back into the routine soon enough. I should probably start this post with an explanation behind my ridiculously long hiatus, so here it goes (I promise to try and make this short and simple). First and foremost, university took control of my daily routine. Finding time to blog between lectures, clinical placements and the minuscule amount of social time I had, was almost impossible. Well, maybe impossible is an exaggeration, although university life did play an impact on my blogging I must admit that the greatest factor behind my hiatus was the lack of motivation to actually blog. Plain and simple. I just genuinely found it so hard to make myself choose my outfits and then set up and shoot some photos. But I'm hoping that I've finally found a way out of the rut that I was in with this outfit post.

Do you guys have that piece of clothing which you consistently return to? For me, sweaters are my closet staples, especially during winter! It's such an effortless way to keep warm while still looking presentable, which is exactly why my collection just continues to expand. On another note, I tried something new with these outfit shots because instead of my usual camera that I use to shoot my photos, I decided to utilise the amazing camera on my new phone. I recently purchased a Sony Xperia Z2 and it boasts a 20.7 megapixel camera, so I decided to test out its full capabilities by having my sister shoot my outfit shots. I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with the photos and might actually continue to use it for future outfit posts.

First of all, I want to start this post by wishing everyone a Happy New Year and I hope you will all have an amazing year ahead! It stills astounds me how quickly the past year has gone. To be honest I felt that the past year was a big stepping stone for me and I'm hoping that this upcoming year will be another learning progress. I sincerely hope that this year will be somewhat of a continuation of the past years, which were filled with adventures, memories, new friends and an abundance of blessings.
Now onto this very much delayed outfit post. Here's what I wore to our family Christmas Eve party and unlike last year, I decided to be significantly more festive with my choice of clothing and so viola! I've had an affinity towards lace for quite some time now but I was never able to find the perfect piece, until I saw this skirt from Forever 21. It has such gorgeous detailing throughout the piece and I absolutely love the frayed ends, which in my opinion gives it more of an edge. It was also the perfect colour for the festive season,(although it wasn't a shade of green, for me it was as close as I was going to get to that colour).
