Feeling ordinary

“Look fabulous if you’re feeling ordinary.”

Someone said this to me a couple of years ago when I turned up at a shoot wearing an old hoodie and sneakers. No make up, unwashed hair, looking like something the cat dragged in. I was sick that day and I couldn’t be arsed. But people notice. They always do when you wish they wouldn’t; when you’re least expecting someone to look down at your chipped manicure someone always does.

I feel ordinary most days, dry-eyed and fuzzy from lack of sleep in the mornings and more than happy to let my wardrobe dictate my moods. It can be daunting but such is fashion: fickle, unforgiving, fleeting. Superficial, but so much fun, though the novelty is starting to wear.

i guess in your field of work. fashion and general self composure is everything! you always sort of have to be at your very best every day… does it get stressful? but i guess during those more down days, just have to fake it? anyways… thanks for sharing =) even if its off the top of your head! hugs! do take care =)
