I was flicking through my photos from my blog the other day and stumbled upon these outfit shots which happen to be from my eighteenth birthday. I forgot about them in the midst of my travels and well LIFE. I picked up this dress while in Portugal back in May, and well isn't it just the perfect summer day dress that can be easily transitioned in to autumn. I cannot wait to style this china doll style print with some more basic items to create a more layer effect. But for now I am happy wandering around in nothing but the dress and a hat, because hey it is summer and for once the UK has been blessed with sunlight!
I am glad I left this post until now, because since turning 18 years of age I have learned a lot about myself, partly because my parents have allowed me more freedom and because I have chosen to go out and do things that I may not have done before my travels. Oddly enough I was not one of those people who on the day of their 18th birthday went clubbing, in fact I still haven't entered a proper night club (I am yet to discover that "joy"). To make up for that fact I took to traveling and trying to move on from toxic relationships.
I may have mentioned this before but I use my birthday as a sort of New Years. I make resolutions that I want to do in the next year of my life, besides the usual get healthier and read more books. On my list this year:

P.S. This is the first post in a while I have written with no proof reading and without the aid of my journal or a list of ideas... so sorry for grammatical errors and general waffling! Also this song:
I turned 18 last month.

- Move on from friendships and other relationships that are toxic for me, even if that may affect the other persons happiness.
- Stick to writing in my journal, keep being passionate about it.
- Work on those sewing projects... Yep the 100 I have stored up ready to be started.
- Trust my instincts and try my hardest not to take the opinions of people I don't know very well to heart.
- SMILE everyday even if it is only at a silly cat video on YouTube.

I love the dress, so pretty. It's so important to take the time to figure out who you are and what's important to you.
ReplyDeleteYes it is, I think it is something everyone need to evaluate on a regular basis.
