Before this month ends, I wanted to get a post in about where/how I want my “look” to evolve in 2014.
Unfortunately, we are not all Beyonce. We don’t just “wake up like dis” (and neither does she for that matter, but i’ll leave that for the Beyhive to debate ). However, that does NOT mean we can’t all be “flawless”.
Often times I save the days when I “dress up” for a special occasion, or when I feel like I am going somewhere than warrants a cute outfit, but from now on I’m going to think a bit differently. I’m gonna challenge myself to get all dolled up everyday, well lets be real not every single day….there are just some days where your trip to the grocery store requires nothing more than comfy sweats and a tee. But, you get the picture, more often than not. I can think of at least four idioms, cliches, phrases to support this new rhetoric.

First let me start off by saying that I apologize for the lack of posts lately..my camera has been under the weather =/. But, I’ve got a new one on the way..so expect some new posts next week. In the meantime, I thought I would write a little fashion- inspo post about….my love and adoration for minimalism in fashion.
According to wikipedia….Minimalism describes movements in various forms of art and design, especially visual art and music, wherein artists intend to expose the essence or identity of a subject through eliminating all non-essential forms, features or concepts. Minimalism is any design or style wherein the simplest and fewest elements are used to create the maximum effect.
For me, minimalism is the art of creating a bold & daring look while in the same breath looking absolutely effortless. Minimalistic looks manage to exude nuances of being a bad ass while still feeling like a breath of fresh air. All in all, I absolutely swoon at the thought of it.
There are a few fashion blogger that can pull of this look really well but two of my faves (whom I’ve probably mentioned before) are
Dont they just look so clean?! Here are some more minimalistic images that I hope inspire you. I feel like my aesthetic is definitely headed in this direction.
