Three Ways To Wear : Polka Dot Pleat Skirt (Take Two)

Just yesterday i was going through my outfit posts from last year and I
actually felt a little amazed. A bit like “wow, is that really me in all these quirky outfits?”. I feel a whole lot different from that person right now. Somedays, i wake up and I’m wondering when my style got this boring. 2013
was a defining year for me in terms of my personal style. I got to
experiment a bit more and hone down on what works for me and give my
style a “label”. Now I feel like my days are filled with pleated/pencil skirts
and denim pants. I’m trying hard not to
blame it on school but who am i kidding? that takes about eighty percent of the blame and the remaining twenty percent might just come from me. I’m steady reserving outfits for special occasions (my definition of special occasions = somewhere where i wouldn’t feel like i wasted my outfit and this includes little things like just hanging out with my friend tracy and other fashion minded people). I should really learn to live in the moment.
But then again, i might just be beating myself up for nothing. I just might still have this fashion thing in me. I just might still gat it you know? i find that over thinking things tend to stifle creativity.
I really really should learn to take a chill pill and just live in the moment *sigh*

I’m sorry this took too long but this is my second way to wear a polka
dot pleat skirt post. You can check out the first way here. This time
around, I decided to go the mixed prints route so I paired my polka dot skirt with this
monochrome striped crop top. My initial plan was
to wear this to church with black court shoes but i ended up wearing this to school and of course i had to wear flats.
I really hate the quality of
these pictures, its downplaying the outfit. My camera is going bonkers, I almost decided against
putting these up but I know I owe y’all a certain level of consistency
plus this post is actually way overdue.

Oh and thank you so much guys for the comments on my last post. You all are the best really, your comments were all so helpful and i’ve decided to increase my water intake, eat a little bit healthier and try not to worry my little head so much. (Guys!! I was going to try the one week fruits and water only diet but i gave up on the morning of the first day. I suck!! How do you people that do it, do it?!!)
