Heyya!
How y'all doing?
Well, the holiday is nearing its end and soon we'll go back to either school or uni classes, right?
I know it can be depressing at times, but let's look at it on the bright side.
That way, we'll face each day with joy and a thankful heart.
So, for today's post I'm going to share something of my passion which is fashion, specifically in styling.
My interest in styling grew since I started to like shopping.
K-pop was also a huge influence to me (not surprisingly haha).
I wasn't really a 'girl' in middle school and I disliked shopping more than anything, I was really into online games and stuff like that.
But, ever since I cared about how I looked, I started to change too!
And voila! I've become the self I am today.
To start off, in my Instagram post I promised to talk about my recent fashion obsession.
Nowadays, (i don't know why) I start to shop for monochrome colors, or plain clothing with a certain type of silhouette.
I have always loved boxy, loose/oversized kinda clothes.
For the photoshoot, I also wore similar shapes.
Whether it's black or white or grey, I kept on looking for the same stuff.
Is it maybe because I changed my hair color?
I think most of you know, my hair was always brown (either light or dark).
Well, the thing is I got tired of coloring my hair so much that I returned it back to black.
And apparently, black hair is now started to trend (and I had no idea at all).
Back then, I didn't have a particular style.
I just picked up whatever I like.
I slowly started to study styles of all sorts of people, whether it's the people around me or in social medias.
For me, It's always a good idea to broaden your knowledge and to know many different styles.
Personally, my style pretty much depends on my mood.
Not too long ago, I was totally into bright, colorful clothes with cute pop art patterns.
After that, I liked 1960s boxy crop tops, baggy sweaters, beanies, plain loose clothing.
Now, I'm beginning to like 1900s silhouettes when they had big bows and ribbons on their clothing, especially around the neck.
A very vintage take influenced by my favorite K-girlband, A Pink!
If you're curious, you can check out their performance videos on Youtube.
The song is titled 'LUV'
I'm also obsessed with photoshoots (pardon my narcissism).
In this one, I tried to portray a dreamy innocent look.
Quick tip: you can just stare blankly into the camera or look elsewhere but try to give a gentle expression.
By the way, flower crowns are so in trend right now and can't stop obsessing over it too.
This shoot was taken in the infamous Jalan Gula here in Surabaya by my very talented friend, Budianto Siswoyo.
Tea time after the shoot at Cup and Crumbs Surabaya.
Enjoyed freshly brewed sweet-scented green tea.
Usually I would write where did I got my outfit from, but now I wouldn't.
Style is not about the brands, it's about attitude and the way you portray it to the public.
But, if maybe you really wanna know where I got them from, feel free to comment below or send me an e-mail anytime!
Had a blasting good time shooting and catching up with an old friend over tea.
P.S. a very nice quote up above!
I hope I didn't bore you guys to death haha.
I tend to skip and talk about something else, then go back to the first thing I was talking about.
Sorry if I confused you, but I'm just excited!
It's really fun talking about the things that you're passionate about :)
A quick message for you style hunters out there:
DON'T BE SCARED!
Just grab anything that you like, then take a very good look at how you fit in them.
Experiment is the key!
I personally don't really care what people say about my style, so maybe that's a good tip too.
Just ignore everyone and be as crazy and creative as you want~
BE BRAVE and most importantly, BE YOU!
