make myself over

I’ve started wearing clothes that fit my body shape and my personality better,I choose carefully the accessories that go with each outfit and in general,I’m having fun playing with different colors and pieces.
I try not to over-think and just be me.The other day I wore a tee,a pair of jeans and my ruined yet so beloved black all star converse and I chose a white pearl necklace to go with it and a long pendant with a dragon and a sword on it.:P
Some may think that these don’t go together,but I thought what the heck!I can pull it off!
And I did and it was fun!;)

I bought some new,pretty clothes that make me feel so good when I wear them.
They’re comfy and nice and a little on the bohemian side,which is I think a style that suits me currently.
I’ve been wearing only black clothes for about 5 or 6 years,since I was (and still am) a sworn metalhead,but I somehow got tired of it,and I believe that a little splash of colour suits my personality and my current state of mind better.
I like buying clothes and accessories,now.In the past,I never cared for what I wore,a tee and a pair of ruined jeans would do for me.
But it’s nice to care about your looks and it’s really creative to use different colors and materials to create a unique look that expresses your personality and your inner world.It’s a form of art,I believe.And I like playing with jewelry,colors and altering my clothes to create a funky look.
So much fun!

I want to do this to match the new chapter that is going to open in my life soonish.
I feel the need to take better care of myself,make some changes in my appearence and in my personality.For instance, I want to be more easy going,less anxious and more positive.I also want to finish some of my books that are related to psychology,since I think this is going to help with my personality changes.

Things I want to do for myself:

- French manicure my nailsDONE
- Have a pedicure
- Trim my hair
- Dye my hair with semi permanent dye
- Take a really loooong bubble bath ( lit candles included )
- Start taking better care of my diet ( this is a tough one;anybody else a major sweettooth?!)

In a few months my life is going to change utterly,since I’m going to College,moving out from my parents’ house to an apartement of my own in a new and yet to be explored city to me.And I feel the need to change outside and inside aswell.
This goal means a lot to me, because I want to see me through a new perspective.I want to cultivate my soul more,discover new music,new books,new places,see more,feel more,discover new aspects of who I am.
In sort,this goal includes a lot of other goals I wanted to achieve and I believe it is going to be a very interesting and creative one.

I have my own very very very unique style and I want to preserve that but look a little better, and feel a little better….I think I can do it!

& have added a couple of individual goals too.

I’ve made a huge change in my life yesterday by resigning from my job & shifting my focus. I’ve also done lots of smaller things since I’ve had this goal & a lot of thought processes have also been related.

I’m feeling like I have a new lease on life & to me that is what a make over is all about.

I also work on my self improvement so this is more like a life habit but I think the essence of this goal was the ‘dramatic’ aspect of my change.

looking like it’s going to take a WHOLE new turn, a true makeover indeed!!

I’m looking at a whole new lifestyle…
Just got to keep the planning ticking over :)

I half did my hair cut. Got the trim & a few layers done… then went & hada cup of tea. What a scatterbrain!

I plan to cut a few more layers in soon, might wait till I’ve henna’ed it this weekend ;)

Aside from that I have my boots and am now TALL. Ish.

A few of the other more mental & personal aspects of this goal have had a bit of progress as well. At least one room of our house should see improvement now that we have a plan. Yikes, the kitchen!

I am having an uber facial followed by a hair cut a la Lunacy. Yes, I always cut my hair myself pretty much & am just putting in some layers, leaving the length alone :)

I didn’t plan for a hair re-vamp as part of this goal but it is one prone to evolution.

Still working on the head. Been doing to much time with Caffeine…

So I went out at lunchtime & just decided to spend $100 on new, fresh clothing. 2x pure Merino tops, 1 black, 1 purple & 1x purple sparkly shrug & 1x black top that is semi Victorian influenced & warm & flattering of the boobs haha.

It was fun & kind of needed. I just hope that the tops are as warm as I am hoping they will be. I need to stop wearing the same hoodie over & over!

I do need to get sewing & make some skirts. I find that tops are easier to buy & skirts mostly easier to make IF you can find nice fabric!

I think though that when my boots arrive (they’ve shipped) I will be feeling like a whole new lady, skirts or not!

This sounds so materialistic but it really is well overdue, I rarely spend money on clothes for myself.
