fishnets & mushrooms (ootd #2)

When it comes clothing color schemes, for many years I’ve been a brown+cream combo kinda girl, but lately I’ve gone back to my roots and have wanted more of the stark black+white combos again. Now I’m in desperate need of some black boots.

Usually within 24 hours I’m happier, calmer, more inspired, more motivated, and more creative.

Let’s face it, we’ve probably all wanted to walk away from social media at one point or another, even if it was just for a day, a week, a month…just to get some space, some freedom, or to experience life for life, instead of experiencing life for the ‘gram. That constant pressure of getting the perfect picture to show the world (or, uh, your ex) that you’re having an amazing time!?

It gets heavy.
