Hellooooo! I’m back! (Do you love the pun?) After a very long hiatus from Snapping, I am staging a comeback (additional pun below: see brand name of top). I can’t promise how often I will post every week, but I shall try for at least once.

I was preparing to post a What I Actually Wore story, picking up where I left off, but I realised that it was so old that I really felt I needed a little interjection first. I am so far behind (more puns) with these – two years! Since then, my style has evolved a little. I tend to swing between two extremes: minimalism, and maximalism, and the pendulum has swung once more to the former.

While I still wear vintage clothing, I style my garments quite differently to how I used to. For quite some time I was, inspired by the Ballet Russes, obsessed with pattern on pattern on pattern; now, not so much. My colour palette is simpler, my clothes more streamlined, and my accessories limited. I find myself gravitating often to white, grey, navy, tan, and sometimes black, alleviated with shots of colour. Occasionally I still bust out the big guns and go bold, like yesterday, when I wore a vintage 70s yellow dress (with tan accessories). I wear prints and patterns rarely.

Fashion is still a joy though, a way to inject some beauty, colour and fun into life, and I enjoy all sorts of looks (my own past style, other people’s), even if they don’t feel quite myself today.

I still have a huge backlog of stories and photoshoots I have not yet posted, so I will take care to note when images were shot.
