But first, a little update…
Hey guys! It’s been a little while since my last post… and the one before that – doh. Sorry – it’s not that I don’t want to post, to create, to share with you guys. That’s absolutely what I want to do!
To be totally honest with you, I have 3 posts that are completely ready to go – they just need the words. It’s not that I’ve lost my writing ‘mojo’, or whatever it is people say – it’s more that I just haven’t felt… myself. I’ve fallen into a bit of sadness, and I don’t know why. And it’s not that I want to hide that or that I just want to share the high points of my life (I’ve talked before about how it’s okay to not feel okay sometimes)… it’s just that I can’t stand how dulled & sad I’ve felt, and I don’t want to put that negativity out there.
Feeling like this makes writing posts extremely difficult, and then I leave writing for so long that I start getting anxious about how long I’ve left it, which stops me writing. (Yay cycles!)
I’ve decided enough is enough – I’m pushing myself to get writing, and then to keep posting. I’m going to keep myself to a schedule, and make sure I stick to it, and get on with achieving what I want to achieve!
Is there a side of blogging that you find more difficult than the ones that come more naturally to you? Even when I feel like this I still love creating outfits and imagery, I just really struggle with words.
Sorry this post hasn’t been the usual chat about clothes and stuff, I just kind of felt like you guys deserved a bit of a life update. Especially as I’ve kind of hidden from the internet for a bit… I’ve not been as active on Instagram either – sorry ?. Normal service will resume! There’s even some clothes chat below ^.^
Double Denim Love
I’ve always loved the double denim look, and I especially love adding my own darker twist to it to create an all-black-everything take on the trend. I kept my denim ‘suit’ (I guess? Haha) pared down with a super-old vest top my sister gave me, and fishnets to keep the focus on the denim . I also added a hoodie under the jacket because hey, it’s England, it may well rain!
The clothes side of this post is a bit shorter but I feel like I’ve rambled on at you guys a bit much today ?. So take care, and I hope you have a fabulous weekend, spent however you wish!
Love!xxx
So sorry to hear that your feeling that way. It’s okay to be a little more absent every once in a while if you feel like it! I totally understand the feeling of nothing wanting to write to much negativity whenever you’re not feeling to well. I hope you’re feeling better soon and we won’t forget you anyway so take your time 😉
Love the outfit, as always!
All the bats,

I can definitely relate to that feeling (even thou we have a company blog that I run together with other social media accounts and not a personal blog) it is still just harder to write some days when you are not feeling on top, or simply a day when you need to withdraw and may not be as outspoken and upbeat as usual. Sometimes I wonder if it has to do with hormones, I find it especially hard to maintain social media while having my period. Thats the trouble with posting, as it is constant, the reader expects new updates and so on when sometimes you need to step back and re-charge. And to allow yourself to step back and not beat yourself up about it :).
Maybe post just images on a though day without a “witty” caption?
And after a rough time I can also find it hard to get “back at it again”, so good on you to keep a schedule!
Love viewing your posts, as a fellow pale redhead it is inspiring to watch your outfits and I have from time and time again incorporated some elements to my own look :).
I am bad at commenting, but have been following your blog since waay back. Thank you for all the effort you put in and keep on inspiring!
Lots of love!

Being in a rut like that is difficult, I can definitely relate. I’m glad your posting again 🙂 Your outfit is so good, love the double black denim.
I totally relate to this girl! I used to find it so easier to churn out good writing for a post but I’m definitely finding it a little harder right now. I’m so glad to see you posting though, I adore this look! <3

First: you look great. Always.
Second: How you said: sometimes it’s okay to be sad. But if it’s too much – don’t be afraid about talking about it and looking for a help. Sadness is the worst emotion on the world – it sucks. I hope you feel better, now. And I am waiting for other new posts – you are amazing blogger and remember that!
Gorgeous !
