This was my favourite read of yours so far. So incredibly well written with such thoughtful insights. Can’t wait to read more fashion-focused pieces!
Although a very half-baked thought, your insights on microtrends got me thinking about current social media takes of “what is my blindness?”. Fundamentally I think these discourses are detrimental to (especially women’s) self image because it implicitly punishes self-discovery, which to your very good point, is necessary for finding one self and one’s own sense of style! Maybe having a prominent money piece or faux freckles galore isn’t a ‘blindness’ or a trend that you regrettably followed, but part of your journey (cliché).
With that said (for the sake of the analysis of current social media culture, and for you to have data to work with for pieces like this) it allows for collective reflection about beauty trends/microtrends, which we love because ~data~
thank you for this eira!!! i looooove this point, it makes me think about a note i had made recently which is maybe the only true telling of personal style is time? maybe the heavy blush isn’t blindness it’s a signature look! only time can tell?
either way, i so agree it feels like social media is chomping at the bit to punish people for stepping outside the box sometimes. but it’s necessary!!
thank you again for your thoughts i love to read them 💞
i love that you still like and wear it!!!! isn’t that all we can hope for, that years later we’ll still want to wear our pieces?? love that in hindsight you realized it actually is part of your style unlike so many others! makes me so happy thank you for reading and sharing 💘💘
