Hello Lovelies!

It came to my attention tonight that we didn’t have a contact us page set up!

So I have done just that. If you look up there a little by our names you will find a Contact Us page or click on the link in this post!

To add a little more beef to this post here is a picture of my furbaby.

Evolution of Style Pt 2.

Style evolution is a significant part of life. It shows us where we have been and where we want to go. It explains our moods, our opinions and our inner self. It is the true essence of whoever you are.  I could look back on the millions of photos my Mum has taken over time and I could tell you what mood I was in on that day purely based on what I was wearing. It evokes memories of times (and sometimes bad)gone past and that is why I love it.

I have *always* been someone who is style conscious. When I was a toddler, according to my mother, I would simply refuse to wear clothes that didn’t match. This included shoes and a little handbag on one occasion. In the 90’s I was dressing like a little 20 year old. It was a true representation of how quickly I grew up and how responsible I was from a very young age. While other kids, tweens and teenagers where wearing tshirts and jeans I was busy searching the racks for pencil skirts and blouses. I was, for a lot of my life, ultra girly (not in an ‘I always wear pink kind of way’ though)….

This was my favourite dress when I was little. It made me feel so mature and grown up. I always dressed this way so that adults would take me seriously, which is all I wanted from the world.

 In 2009 I moved out of home and paying bills suddenly became so much more important than what I wore so I pretty much just hung out in the same clothes from when I was a teenager, which was great except for the fact that I lost a significant amount of weight and all of my clothes where way too big for me. For a little while I was stuck in my work clothes on a constant basis (which I was slowly starting to hate) and all I wanted from life was jeans and singlets (with scarves and boots and necklaces of course!)

Then I moved into my current occupation, which is in construction and I finally found my calling. I love building and it has strongly influenced who I am now. I dyed my hair and chopped it all off, i mastered the art of natural look makeup, and I found a way to make steel caps look sexy (still working on fluro and construction hats but luckily for me, it is rare when I have to wear those items!)

Now my look is about comfort AND style rather than just style.

I think I have found a pretty good neautral between style and comfort.

Has your occupation influenced your style? Do you have a huge difference between you home and work outfits? What has your style evolution been?

Everybody’s look changes over time, from massive overhauls to subtle shifts the way we look is constantly evolving. Today we are going to share the way our tastes and styles have changed and what influences have prompted this.

I used to wear black a lot, I think I wore black every single day during my early 20’s along with huge oversized clothes and patterns that highlighted my size. For work I would wear a pair of black trousers with a red or purple shirt. I rarely wore dresses and possibly owned one pair of heels and had three pairs of shoes in total. Even my handbag (just the one!) was black. It is incredible to me now looking back to think how rarely a print or a different colour worked its way into my wardrobe. I was waiting until I was pretty (which in my head meant skinny) to buy nice things, I thought I would seem ridiculous if I bought a nice dress or pretty shoes, that people would think less of me because I was trying to hide the fact I was over weight.

The big thing that changed for me was that I forgave myself for being imperfect. I’m not saying I stopped caring about being healthy and fitter, because I do still care about that, but it did mean I stopped punishing myself for being fat by hiding myself under layers and wearing poorly fitting clothes. This commitment to looking as good as I can given who I am right now lead to a style that is probably best described as feminine and colourful. I wear colours and pattern every day and while black still features in my wardrobe I make sure I break it up with accessories and prints as much as possible.
