(and so on…more of my innate weirdness in my old lookbook looks)
..Tights and I were inseparable.
..Ribbons—not just bows, but ribbons used for tying gifts—were the bestfriend of my hair (and my notebooks and my collars and almost anything I own)
..I wasn’t used to wearing shorts then, except with colorful/black stockings or high socks.
..Circle glasses, starshaped sunnies (and heartshaped but I haven’t found any yet) were my favorites. And I don’t freaking care if they have no grade.
..Quirky, preppy, neon, and weird things fascinate me. I believed some trends and rules are limiting fashion experiments. And I didn’t need to fit in.
..Layering outfits everyday was a lifestyle.
..I was colorblocking before I even heard the term colorblocking (when I was younger I used to call it “color-coding” (pink kung pink, etc) OR “uber-coloring”)
..etcetera.

^Yes, that’s Grace Eclavea before adjusting to, let’s just call it the ‘unofficial, indirectly spoken, implicit school simplicity rule.’ C: (when i said school it’s not limited to the place where I’m studying, it’s general)
Anyway actually, more or less a hundred sentences are supposed to follow that, but my fingers can’t find the letters to type what’s in my head. In short I can’t find the word translation for my thoughts. Or, it’s like I can’t find the “signifier” for my “signified”#COMA101lectures
Ah whatever. Sigh. I’ll end this post here and just leave my thoughts flying..
God bless and stay stylish, dearies! Jesus loves you infinitely. And nothing— not any style, or weirdness or even as far as RH Bill stance :l —can change His love for you. :)thursday
