Denim. Again.


Although you wouldn't necessarily say so from this particular outfit I'm slowly growing tired of brights. Sure color blocking was fun, pattern clashing even funner, but enough is enough. I want black leather, grey felt, deep green, dusty teal, oh the beauty of Fall . . 

Yet, there's one thing I'm still not over, and that is denim! Courtesy of the latest sales from my-wardrobe a distressed denim shirt made its way to me. Wish I could have paired it with a pair of leather leggings, however, Bucharest is hell on earth right now, at least weather-wise. So the only sensible thing to do was to compromise with a cute flower print skirt and some colorful accessories.

Indeed, I gave in to weather conditions and common sense, but it got me thinking, when do the small compromises we make start being the condition instead of the exception? When do we start letting other people, be it the weather man, or even our friends direct our action just because compromising is "easy."

Robert Fritz said: “If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise.” Sure this doesn't mean that reason is the devil here. But what it does mean is that no one cannot, and should not, stay between us and our desires. The thing you keep dreaming about, the one that you find yourself thinking about when your mind wonders, the one that you have on your moodboard, that is the one you have to go for. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

You should always go for what you want, but I think when it comes to dressing for the day sometimes you need to be sensible, but aslong as you put your own twist on that I'd say your still been yourself. And I love this outfit, and would love to see you wear the denim shirt differently xxx

That skirt is adorable and I love it with the denim top. Awesome shoes as well! You have such a cute blog!

The Hearabouts said...

Great look! Yes, I'm growing a little tired of all the color blocking, and I'm kind of looking forward to the fall trends, too.

I love the accessories, especially the necklace and the sunglasses.

Indeed, nobody should prevent us from reaching our goals and dreams. Although sometimes, it's us who draw ourselves back.

Hugs,
S.

I love the outfit and you look just lovely!
I have a growing love for denim, while I'm loosing interest in brights. :)

I totally agree..no one or nothing should come between us and our dreams/what we want.. and I like that you thought of the weather as that something - it's my biggest foe these days!

I am not done with color blocking, I think I will never be, color will forever rule my world.

The pattern on that skirt is amazing! I am a denim worshiper as well, especially denim shirts, skits and dresses. It is just so versatile!

Very well said Ioana. I consistently find myself wishing I lived in a climate where the weather did not get to such extremes as we experience in Canada. It is the changing seasons that make life and dressing all the more fun, but if the seasons force you to dress a certain way....in big puffy down jackets in our case, it's not so fun anymore.

That is such a cute skirt! Lovely outfit!

Alice Sidorencu said...

Such a complete outfit...lovely colors.

Ramona said...

Darling, I absolutely agree with You. We shouldn't feel pressure from anyone, we should be ourselves and do what we love to do and what about we are passioned.
So long time I'm craving denim shirt, but all the time I wasn't sure if it would fit into my wardrobe.
I love this combo of denim shirt and cute skirt. Your sunnies are absoolutely amazing, remind me a bit of Carrie Bradshaw's from SATC 2.
