An outfit takes guts and confidence, often inspired by
Pinterest or shopping money-spending overdoses. When I get dressed in the
morning, it is a stressful process. I could never just put on outfit on. By the
end of the rigorous exercise workout taking clothing on and off again – you
could expect somewhere between 3 and 5 outfits strewn on the floor. The full
picture (if you’re interested) is me, either dead on the bed or
hyperventilating in front of the wardrobe, with a cup of tea gone cold at the
side, tears probably streaming down my face, I’m trying to multi-task with
doing my makeup, hair and getting dressed at the same time. I then put all my
hope into Pinterest in the hope that I will find some inspiration for an
outfit. Sometimes I look on Zara too. I definitely find it hard to be one of
those people who can just ‘throw something on’ in the morning. My outfit take
intense planning and nights of doing catwalks and mirror modelling. I’m working
on comfort though.
Sometimes you just have an epiphany. I have been thinking what I could write a blog post on for a few days now and absolutely nothing came to mind - nothing. I had a crazy thought, when I was walking to my next lesson after lunch – that maybe, you could wear comfortable clothes and still look fabulous. A real genuine epiphany – I got the striking and the sudden and all the other definitions in one.
I think that’s my downfall, though. I really like my outfits
but I am always so uncomfortable and then feel so irritated all day.
Some days, you just don’t want to wear anything constricting
or tight (most days). I thought of all the things I would happily wear on a day
at home: when I couldn’t care less about showing off a figure, and I want
comfort over everything else. Ordinarily, I would wear sweatpants if I’m really
taking lazy to a new level, but seriously can people please stop wearing
sweatpants out in public – it has never been OK, it never will be OK, not even
to the gym. I love dungarees dresses because they are so loose and baggy but
never fail to look good. I also love the feel of linen trousers but, again,
would never wear them out – so I was browsing on Zara and found relaxed fit
linen culottes - actually perfect!
I’m also thinking about floaty shorts and loose box style dresses.
So these are just, like, nicer versions of pyjamas and sweatpants.
