MOODBOARD TUESDAYS

After days on intense color and detailed looks, I decided to go for something more relaxed. It was a gruelling xmas countdown and all I could think about was comfort and ease for today's look. The only thing I was keen on wearing was this amazing gauzy check shirt by PROTACIO and how cool it is to wear with an almost all check look. Though I was aiming for comfort I wanted contrasting inspirations: greasers and dandies. ITs rugged and formal at the same time. Theres softness(gauzy shirt, cotton drapey drop crotch trousers) yet there is also structure(wool boater, patent tuxedo shoes). I was imagining a morning stroll in the English countryside breathing the cool fresh air and basking in cool sunlight and amazing lush green landscape. On my sleeve pictures of oranges and apples like it was the season for picking fruits. On my chest pendants like piano keys, a cleff note, and a guitar, all symbols representing my affinity for music. Its like me strolling with a soundtrack playing in my head like this one SILENT WINGS by Secret Garden youtube.com/watch?v=6jgz0PEmS80&feature=related.
Its all but soothing to me. I feel so at peace. so calm. Perfect for recharging my creative energies.
