WHAT I’M WEARING: CHI CHI HATTIE DRESS, ZARA SHORT TRENCH COAT, LA REDOUTE NAVY HEELS & CELINE SUNGLASSES
A dress I wore a few weeks ago in Paris, but also, a dress I wore again this weekend in Barcelona, the sun was out, so my legs were too. Oh I do wear a great deal of maroon and it is a colour I seem to wear increasingly as the months roll closer to the end of the year. November 1st already, I cannot quite believe it. This time last year, I was a disaster. Running around Europe with a man too old, suddenly feeling too liberated after a break up and new hair slashed into a bob. It was a wild, tumultuous time – in fact I cannot even remember where I was exactly on this date last year, perhaps it was Prague or maybe Berlin. Then again, it could have been Paris. It was all a blur and a chapter of my life I fully intend to one day write into a short story but for now, I am grateful for the calm I feel this year around. Funny, how we all think our lives are interesting? Have you ever thought that? I’ve always doubted or perhaps feared mine wasn’t actually all that riveting? Monotony scares me. Most of us as fashion bloggers, we set out to make our lives seem that way, hiding under a hashtag, pretending our lives are far more thrilling than they are. But you see, this doubt in me instilled sometimes reckless behaviour, I’ve often done things just for the experience, for the tale I could later tell. And so I can assure you that the more fascinating facades of my life have never made an appearance here. I fully intend on spilling all one day, you girls have been my most faithful confidants for 8 years now and with that, I feel comfortable confessing. I hope you do too. Just not yet. For now, I will make promises that swish in the same way the skirt of this dress does – confidently and with structure. Yes, that is how I will someday spill my secrets; with a structure, the structure of a story that will one day be told. A story, however that is no where near as pretty as this dress, hence the hesitation.
