I am in a rut.
And I'm trying to stick to my blog resolution of letting the outfits/post flow naturally. Hence this cop-out of a post. My mood and where I am in life always affects how I dress. I really did try this week to wear cute clothes, but I just couldn't. My creative juices are drained and it's even affecting my graduate school applications. For one school, they're due in a week and I'm still not done. I know what I want to write. I know what I want to wear. I just can't. I think I've just been stuck in my own head lately. I'm also starting to rethink the focus of my blog. I want to feature other things I may be interested in or might be doing--not just what I wear from time to time. I'm just not sure what exactly I want to add to the blog though. What do you think I should add/what do you want to see here?
It feels like my mind is racing 100 mph but also not really moving at all. I'm stressed and panicking, yet completely calm at the same time. I just need a few days to relax and work. I'll try to do a photo diary some time this weekend or a photo an hour post, but no guarantees. I will also shop in my closet and come up with new outfits. So until then...you can see more things that catch my eye on my Tumblr.
Until next post,
Jasmine
Aw Jasmine, I hope you're okay. I always get a bit like this when a new year happens, it's all very daunting and it takes me a while to figure out what I want to do with the year. I love everything you post especially your photography but sometimes taking some time off is what you need. Take a break and stop thinking so much. Hope you have a great week xx
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon, these photographs are lovely and I shall head over to your Tumblr.
ReplyDeleteHere is my suggestion to you: take a blog vacation! Line up some guest posts to keep your place while you're gone and relax, finish grad apps, and live your life!! Wear what makes you happy and if that means sweat pants and a t shirt while writing essays, then do it :)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't just leave you a comment, so I emailed you! <3
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling. The rut will pass!!

I find it quite interesting that you layered two necklaces together–I don't think that there would have been as much visual interest if you had worn one or the other. I like that there are all of these very delicate details, such as the bracelet and the sheer lace back in contrast with the 'heavier' textures of the sequined skirt and snakeskin print pumps. Hope you've been having a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteAwe!! It posted the wrong thing, I really don't like my computer D: What I wanted to say was that I completely know what it's like to want to post other things in your blog, but not knowing quite what– I'm going through the same thing myself. I think it would be nice for you to take a break and perhaps concentrate on one thing at a time, such as your applications instead of thinking of everything at once (applications, blog posts, and outfits.) All of the post-holiday blues will definitely work out! Good luck with everything, you can do it!
ReplyDeleteI wish I was in that snowy photo right now! I would love to see more lifestyle posts from you...like dates with robert and stuff!
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope you feel better Jasmine. If it helps at all, I can definitely relate. I know most people look at my blog to see my outfits, and when I've tried to feature other things, like poetry, I get minimum response. But not sharing what I want to share bums me out too. I want to see you post whatever you want to post! No matter what it is, I'll be reading <3
ReplyDeletei don't feel like this post was a cop out at all, the photos are so lovely. definitely following you on tumblr for more :)
