Outfit Post: Hardcore Pearls and High Anxiety

Today was the first Wednesday that I didn’t have to go to therapy in a couple months. I was diagnosed with High Anxiety and Depression. It’s something I’ve been living with for years but this year it’s really been hitting me hard (I don’t really express this much with you). But working on an outfit post always brightens my mood just that little bit extra.

Blouse: Thrifted | Shorts: Nasty Gal | Vest: Boohoo | Necklace: Mums | Shoes: Free People

Coen took these pictures. Hence, the last picture when he asked me to “look like Godzilla.” I’m so ferocious, aren’t I? A five-foot-two Goth Godzilla is what real nightmares are all about!

This outfit I wanted to mix some hardcore-ish elements with the false-Pearl necklace. Putting interesting outfits together has always been something that brightens my mood. Whenever I have an exam I would rag-curl my hair the night before or spend extra-time on my make up in the morning. My motto in high school was always “If you look good, you’ll feel better.” It was all about confidence building.

That’s partly why lately I’ve been adding so much leopard print to my wardrobe – have you noticed? It’s something that always boots my confidence and automatically makes me feel bad-ass. Do you think that what you wear affects how you feel? What makes you feel powerful?
