I love the idea of effortless, boyish clothing like a baggy T-shirt and non-fitted denim paired with luminous makeup. I think what I find the most enthralling about this is the ability to carry the look with confidence and see how people react. On a personal note: I'm looking forward to experimenting more with this as an exercise in confidence and shaping myself as a stronger dresser, someone more capable of taking risks and having them pay off. I spend too much time being concerned with wether the items I wear flatter my body type, which oftentimes restrains me from representing aesthetic tastes that I really do enjoy and want to achieve. I think that wearing more baggy looks will better empower me to dress for myself, and not for the sake of appealing to others' tastes, to the same affect that cutting my hair into a pixie was such an empowering experience because I had cut my hair knowing that a lot of people wouldn't like it because it was so masculine; hence, other peoples' opinions became irrelevant to my own aesthetic decisions. I feel like fashion in general can be such a vessel for empowerment and finding oneself through utilizing vanity as a creative tool; I don't think one needs to have a lot of money or a certain body type to take advantage of the fact, just courage and support of others.

as far as makeup goes, I'm really loving warm palettes with gold, brown and honeyed shades.
