not those manolos strappy sandals



the way that i dress is changing. in a good way ... i hope. things that i would never have thought that i would wear, i am wearing. ways of wearing things that i would never have thought would work for me are working for me. i am surprised by these changes. and happy ... i think.

i am wearing the ono dress, the amazing skirt and the brilliant jacket by kaliyana. my sandals are the manolo sandal (closed collection) by trippen.

Your title made me smile! I do like your sandals, and the outfit. How is your style changing? The details of your style evolution are interesting to me as I tend to dress vastly differently from day to day (eg the last three days have been: short jeans shorts with a smock top, draped jersey layers with a dropped crotch, vintage shirt dress; I don't know what today will bring, yet).

here are a few things that i feel are changing about my style: footwear. this is the first summer in a long time that i feel comfortable wearing sandals. i actually want to wear sandals. number of layers: this is the first summer in a long time that i feel comfortable with fewer layers. last summer, wearing just a dress would have made me feel ... naked! jewellery: i am trying to incorporate some jewellery into my looks. previously, no sooner would the jewellery go on than it would come right off. white clothes: i have wanted to wear white clothes head to toe in the summer for a few years now, but not until this summer have i actually done this. these are all big things for me!

Wonderful! It sounds like you are emerging more fully in to yourself. Thank you for sharing the details of your evolution. I wonder if you ever re-wear clothes that you like but which, on wearing, prove physically uncomfortable. I wore a split-side tunic that I had been waiting to wear for ages, today. It was itchy and I feel like I should get rid of it, but I like it and don't want to!

do i ever re-wear clothes that i like but which, on wearing, prove physically uncomfortable? good question! if i wear something that is physically uncomfortable (so much so that i can't wait to get home to take it off and that is exactly what i do when i do get home), unless i can figure out how to make it comfortable (while i am suffering wearing it), i usually get rid of it. i reason that life is too short and there are too many things that i like that aren't physically uncomfortable to suffer wearing things that are physically uncomfortable. i am a bit unforgiving when it comes to physical comfort!

Yes, I think you have given me the necessary nudge. Reading your comment, I find I entirely agree. Thanks again.
