taurus season
Another year around the sun! All praise and shout-out to the man above. It was a very exciting and shaky 2023, but that’s life! It’s so crazy to think of where I am now and how much further I have to go. This was a last-minute impromptu shoot that I decided to do a few days before my birthday. I was just like, “Why not?” Everyone should be celebrating their life more and I’m strutting my 30s with confidence, style and grace. For me, I sometimes like a fully thought-out plan, but I was just like, “You need to take quicker action on this creative thought.” (Shout-out to @YaGirlAley for this gem, full message on her socials) Sometimes, I get so caught up in thinking everything through and eventually at times not executing fully. This year it’s all about completing more creative ideas even if they don’t turn out so great!
The star of the show is this beautiful top that I bought in the pandemic for a previous birthday and I never got around to wearing (See what I said about executing lol). It’s from a woman-owned, UK-based brand @Immorallondon on Instagram. The top’s royal purple color and Victorian sleeves with the ties made this the top of my history-loving dreams. The whole look was based around this top, so I just wanted to make sure I did it justice. Usually my rule is with long sleeves on the top, I tend to want to show a bit of leg on the bottom. This buttercream yellow skirt was a perfect combination with the purple, coupled with my favorite jade necklace (second hand from RubyLane.com) and the Versace platform wedge dupes. The earrings are from the ultra talented @JeBlanc, a woman-owned sculptural jewelry brand. Overall, this look really embodied my Taurus sun sign and I think I made Venus proud.
