Je t’aime…mon non plus.
I love French, but I am not good at it. Yet I think it’s such a beautiful language. Much more than Swedish.
This is what I wore today: feeling a bit vintage and a bit summer-nostalgic: so I mixed a knitted, dark grey sweater with a floral jumpsuit(which I these days use as shorts). I just love that simple look, and how it’s playful and delightful as well as comfortable. That’s when fashion is at its best: when it can be several things all at once, when you look and feel good.
Because I hate to answer the question : “if you have to choose, do you want to look good or feel good?” . How can you answer that question as a fashion blogger? As a teenager? As a woman? How can you answer that question and be perfectly honest?
I can’t. I just can’t.
Because I know, I know what people think – they think you’re smart if you choose to “feel good” , and they’re think you’re a stuck up fashionista if you answer “look good”.
And I want to feel good, I want to feel good and look good. I think I’m allowed to be, to do both.
We all are, it’s a right we have – as women, as fashionistas, as human beings.
To do both.
Because life isn’t about choosing, life isn’t “Sophie’s Choice”. Life is this: fashion, mixed with a thoughtful mind, a beating heart and a passion for not just looking good – but feeling good as well.
Keep inspiring me, keep breathing fashion – just like me. And keep reading, and asking questions on my BLOG
