At one point in our lives, we’ve all incorporated, either fully or partially, a touch of minimalism. Whether consciously or unconsciously; the white button up shirt you love to wear, or the jacket that goes with almost everything in your closet? We’re all  guilty. I know I am.  I can’t even begin to deny that. I have this black blazer that I can pair with almost everything in my closet. I’m pretty sure the blazer just wants to retire right now 🙃 I have shifted from the topic, I apologize.

I’m on currently on the journey of finding my style and while I’m at it, the less is more thing is tugging at my heartstrings. I’m falling in love with the minimal look. Minimal in all senses; clothes, accessories, makeup,( yes! Makeup!), etc and maybe, less can actually be more.

But honestly, minimal can sometimes get boring but the fun thing about fashion/ style is you get to own it and tweak it till it suits your personality and expresses what you want it to.

This was the first take at the minimalist style. I was going for minimal infused with comfort in a nude/ earthy tone, and you should know by now that I will definitely have black (read about my struggle to let black go here), and I felt it in my bones that something was missing. So, I called on the gods of creativity, and ….

viola! My raffia hat from my trip to the arts and crafts village (you can read about it here if you missed it. You’re welcome) and it felt complete. *insert Drakes “one dance’ intro*.

It definitely was not what I was used to. And it got so much love from my dad that he even volunteered to become my photographer for the day.
