Anyway I wanted to know if you've done any thrift flips lately? I have the strong urge to make clothes and do thrift flips again but it's been so long since I've used my sewing machine. It seems like yesterday...that's all I used to spend my time on before life hit. Now I want to get back into it but I'm suddenly intimidated by my sewing machine and fear that I lack the skill I once had. 


Maybe if you share some of yours then inspo will spark back into me ₊˚⊹ ᰔ

omg hi! that set is so freaking cuuuuuuute! i'm not really good at sewing/thrift flips BUT i am into art/other creative outlets. sometimes, especially when its been a while, it can be daunting because we set such high expectations for ourselves to create BIG AND GRAND projects. you might have to knock some rust off but remember, you're not starting from 0! i wish i had a project to offer but all i got is words ;;

omg thank you so much (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.゚ words still help very much. I'm going to pick it up this weekend and try again. I remember having so much fun with it and making "editorials". I think you're right, I just need to dive back into it whether it comes out "perfect" or not!

what creative outlets are you into??!

I just draw a lot! i go back and forth from being consistent for kinda the same reasons you were talking about but sometimes the best thing to do is to just DO IT hahaha. i also sing a little and have been trying to learn drums with my lil drumming pad hahaha. and yes! I'm so excited to see what you come up with ahhh! (also sorry for late reply, I don't get notifications when someone writes in a forum I'm in :(((( )

Oh wow! you have drumming pads ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂)⸝♡ that's pretty cool. Do you make time to hone in on singing and drumming? Sometimes I can get so caught up with work or watching others enjoy their hobbies on Youtube that I neglect my own but I'm slowly making changes.

Earthy Girl Summer 🌱

Earthy Girl Summer 🌱🪷💕

(still not sure how to make pictures show up here)

It feels like I’m grounded in who I am… I’ve awakened and realized that I’ve grown so much. This outfit is not just a form of expression but becoming who I’ve always meant to be. I’m leaning into it and enjoyed using my sewing machine to make this one of a kind earthy girl piece

I’m so amazed at how much patience I had even when the fabric was terribly stuck within my machine


I hope I can take some pics for this summers editorial! 

I have a few of vlogs coming out soon, I was fired a couple of weeks ago so I'm really taking time out to tend to hobbies. Life is short, I don't want to give all my energy to these jobs that doesn't even care about my well being. I'm done trying to be perfect, I was never perfect. I'm beautifully messy and I love it this way. 

The way I document my life seems like I'm trying to get views but in actuality I'm trying to reach people that think just as deep as me. Some people may look over what I write in descriptions and others my feel me...REALLY feel me. This is the direction I'd like to take my content, unapologetically me and to document my life so that when I look back I can say that I really did something that I was afraid of doing.

I can go on but this isn't my personal blog so for now, I hope that this piece brought you joy or even opened up a new way of styling yourself in the near future. ૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა
