Aesthetics

Happy Friday! I enjoy outfits, don't get me wrong, but recently I've been more focussed on incorporating a favourite object or collection of objects or aesthetic. Some days I want to dress like a tortured artist, and others I want to be a Japanese doll princess. This day I wanted to be a photographer - a ginger-haired, monochrome, androgynous photographer. And I think that's what's important - dressing to be who you want to be. Not dressing to be like who you want to be. Once you're in the clothes you shouldn't feel like you're pretending. I like to think you are the aesthetic you desire for a day or so. I've been wearing my converse and lumberjack shirts and breton tees a lot these days, and using and playing with my Miranda camera. It's an SLR film camera and when I bought it, it contained a used film and I suddenly thought:

these are someone else's photos... OH MY GOSH WHAT IF THEY'RE NUDEY PIX?/??

but I shall trust they're scenery or an old couple or some innocent children.

I also realised something recently.... my writing on this blog is DULL... I just tell you what they photos are and update. I've been watching a lot of Tavi Gevinson interviews over the past couple of days and she really inspires me. I want to write about things people care about. And that is not necessarily my trip to the zoo, or what I liked this month. I'm just a bit stuck - I want to be new, I want to make things new with you (soko lyric, yes).

I will try to make my writing more interesting and if you lot have any suggestions for things you'd like to see I'd be very happy. Also I am banning myself from the exclamation mark - it's evil and I use it too much. I just don't need it.

God bless,

Louise
