There is two kind of people during Christmas. There are the ones who dress up and try to make everything perfect, and there are the ones who stay in a big sweater the whole month and who never really cares.
I'm both
This morning we decorated the Christmas tree and I kept running around trying to make it all perfect when I didn't think my brothers or cousins hang up the right ball at the right place. But that is just me, I love things looking pretty (Just look at my Instagram - even just look at my camera roll, every photo is of something pretty and perfect, even though they are never going to see the daylight at my Instagram). I wrap my presents really pretty, I place everything nicely on the table for dinner, I like my desk to be cleaned up, even though no one is ever going to see this part of my life. I don't know why I am like this. I've always been a little too much into pretty ad perfect things (Remember I told you I collect the tags from clothed because I think they're pretty and I can't throw them out, yup!)
But on the other hand, I don't give a f*ck. Let it be as it is because life cannot be perfect all the time. Sometimes I just want to post not-pretty-pictures on my Instagram, because my life isn' pretty all the time, I just try to make it that way. And during Christmas, everything can't go after my head.
We are a really big family and a lot of small children who don't care if things are pretty and cleaned up - like with the Christmas tree this morning. And sometimes it is good for me to experience this and just let go and say "oh well".
The messy-look: A sweater from a second-hand shop. Skirt from Zara. Chasmere tights from H&M. Socks from Happy Socks. Scrunchie-headband from Flying Tiger.
I've thought about this lately - and there is a lot more behind it which I will tell you about later. But for now I've put this though into two outfits: One classy, put together, suit-look, and one cozy-messed. ugly sweater-like look. And I feel comfortable in both. they are both me-like. I've begun to feel comfortable in the messy-look and want to show that side of myself too. So here they are. The two different kinds of persons that is me - and who I'm trying to make one, who is still Instagramable even though it's not picture perfect all the time.
The classy-look: Suit from Selected Femme. T-shirt from Vila. Necklace from Jane Kønig.
Until next time,
