What I love most about this outfit is that it is the perfect blend of feminine and masculine. The military jacket brings the right amount of structure to the floral print.
The dark undertones are what makes these pants transition so easily from warm summer nights to cold winter days.
It's the details that catch my eye. Wether it's bold silver buttons, skilfully composed prints or elaborately created leather. The details make a piece stand out and make it unique.
Lately I've actually found myself too focused on details. Instead of looking at the big picture and trying to move on from there, I've emphasized the little things (that didn't feel so little in the moment), stared too closely at everything and found myself frustrated and ungrateful as a result. I guess I've always been some kind of perfectionist and nothing less hasn't been enough. It has taken time to develop an encouraging inner voice, in other words I've had to learn to talk more positively to myself. Even when I've failed and fallen straight on my face, it has been a new experience to get right up, dust off the dirt, learn from what happened and move on instead of wailing that why I had to fall in the first place. See that's where the big picture comes in handy. In those situations where you feel like you've messed up, or you even feel like you've made bad decisions time after time and there's no hope for your situation, step a few steps back and look again. No matter how desperate your situation is, there is always a way out. I believe we all have a purpose and a destiny, the big picture. There's something unique to each and everyone of us that no one else can bring to this world. Lets stop wasting our time on what we are not able to do or what we've missed out on and focus on all the things we're capable of. This world needs the distinctive mix of qualities, visions and dreams that you carry to be lived out and released.

ps. I'm on a road trip in California, so my posts have been a little delayed. But stay tuned for upcoming posts and pictures from the trip! The photography won't be as spectacular as all the previous ones since I couldn't pay my wonderful photographer to come and capture it all and I only started taking more pictures lately, but I've done my best :)
