BLUE PEPLUM TOP

I KNOW FROM A FACT that we all, girls especially, have pieces in our wardrobes that are waiting for the right time to be worn, as if no mundane occasion is good enough for us to take them out for a walk. I can’t tell you how many pieces I have sewn that are either neatly folded or hanged in my wardrobe that I rarely (more like never) wear because I feel that I don't have where to wear them to. Lately, however, I have been doing quite the opposite where I just don’t care about the place or time and I just wear what I want to wear.

For example, last Friday I decided that I am not going to save this top anymore and instead I am going to combine it in a very casual outfit and wear it on a very uneventful Friday afternoon as to further challenge myself to leave behind this constricting logic that special clothes should be saved for special occasions. This blue peplum top is part of a suit I made last year which you might remember from THIS post when I first wore it to Fashion Weekend Skopje last fall.

As you can see, I ended up combining it with my favorite Mango jeans and my Pull&Bear cut-out ankle boots in what I can only label as a fusion of elegant and casual. A small advice I can give anyone ‘saving’ their clothes is that it’s rarely worth it. I know the need to have a ‘back-up outfit’ if a certain event where you need to wow people comes along, but in reality, the period you spend waiting for that moment is way longer than that actual moment itself (if it happens), so why waste time? With time, our tastes and our bodies change, not to mention the volatile nature of trends which, like it or not, influence how we view our clothes, so why waste current potential?
What are your thoughts?

Thank you for stopping by!

ASPIRE HIGHER!
