I'm not you, no that would be disastrous

I have had a few (slightly emberassing, might I add) attempts at doing outfit posts before but it never really came out the way I imagined. I think I wished to copy and look like all the millions of other succesfull fashion bloggers there are out there and one thing I have never been good at is pretending to be someone else. And therefore I was doomed to fail.

Warning: soppy babble coming on!
As, unfortunately, a lot of other girls, being confident with how I look and actually liking my own body has never been something to file under my 'easy'-category. Especially when I was in my mid-teens. It's been a truly tough battle with lots of tears and horrible thoughts about myself which has led to a lot of parties and social gatherings, that I simply did not have the confidence to attend. I won't go into details about what it's meant for my life, but it has definitely created a lack of a lot of teenage-experiences one should have.
The battle is thankfully not to that extent any longer nor is it over, and though I hope with all of my heart it one day will be, I have a feeling that there will always be small wars here and there to be fought throughout my entire life. And I suppose that's alright, cause what is light without darkness?

Today I'm far better at appreciating myself but it does take a little makeup and the right kind of clothes to label me 'confident in public'. It gets easier as I grow older and wiser (sounds like a wizard), and I've educated myself in eating clean for the past few years and have gotten much better at embracing my body and realizing things such as "it's the only one you've got, so work with it", "it's the flaws that makes you beautiful" and "it's the best tool you'll ever get in life, the one that brings you sight, sound, feelings, taste, movement and dreaming".

So if you, yes lovely you reading this, has ever dealt or are dealing with low-confidence, believe not that you are the only one, cause I am here and know first-hand what it's like. Just remember; what you don't like about your looks, someone else might truly love. And there is a 98% chance that the things you hate and focus on on daily basis is something that's never even crossed anyone else's mind! x

Phew, that was a little deep and not planned. But with all that being said, here's what I wore today ;)

I've had such a bother finding a suitable spot for these pictures. I'm using my timer as I'm such a shy camera mouse and cannot imagine being comfortable infront of the lense anytime soon - especially if there's someone on the other side pressing the button; I'm a photographer not a model!

I paired this simple black skirt with a colorful pastel top and topped it with a big ring to bring a little life to it.
I'm actually not a big fan of jewellery, I like outfits as simple as possible, but my sister gave me this ring for Christmas, and it's got such lovely colors in it, that I can't help but love to wear it.
This outfit was worn for a completely normal day. Usually I'd wear jeans or leggins with a boring top for daily wear, but this top is new, and new clothes needs to be worn asap ;)
I think this outfit can be worn for pretty much anything though; cute for a date, girl's night, day at the office, family gathering or whatever you have in mind!

Have a brilliant rest of your day ♥

Jeg er i vildrede for tiden. Hvad vil jeg arbejde med resten af mit liv, hvad brænder jeg virkelig for, hvad er jeg god til? Jeg har uro i mit hjerte, for disse spørgsmål fylder mig 80% af tiden. Det er svært, at træffe beslutningen om hvad man gerne vil uddanne sig til. Jeg vil så nødigt træffe den forkerte beslutning og ende med at skifte. Som om jeg ikke tænker dobbelt så meget som den gennemsnitlige person i forvejen; min hjerne og hjerte kører på højtryk, og det tager alt inspirationen fra mig.

Skal jeg vælge noget teknisk indenfor mediebranchen, som jeg altid har troet, jeg ville?
Er det mennesker jeg brænder for at arbejde med, i såfald unge eller gamle?
Mon jeg skal gøre min hobby med design, grafik og indretning til noget professionelt?

Jeg er lidt for tilfreds med bare at være Nanna - hende der dagdrømmer.

I'm lost, hopeless and in lack of inspiration. What do I want to do for the rest of my life, what is my passion, what am I good at? My heart and brain is in turmoil at the moment. I don't know which education to choose. I'm a little too happy with just being Nanna - the girl who dream her day away.

Ten things that have made me unhappy recently

Although things are going very well here in London, there are still those days where all I want to do is stay under the duvet, hide my face all day or have my mummy come over and make me some curry chicken and tell me everything is going to be just fine.

My life is 85% complete bliss at the moment, which is definitely something, I’m deeply grateful for but I still think it’s important to acknowledge those bad 15% because there would be no good without the bad, so really the bad things are what makes the good things great and it is therefore something we should take notice of.
So today I’ve written 10 things that have made me feel a little poopy lately.
 (Written in no particular order) 

1. Watching my friend cry

2. Realizing I’m not going to see my mum, dad or any family member until January

3. – Realizing I’m celebrating Christmas for the first time away from home

4. Skin breaking out, making me super self-concious

5. Knowing there’s this thing I’ve been putting off for years that I now have to deal with

6. Worrying about being away from my dog & grandmum who’s both advanced in age

7. Being disappointed that I haven’t made any British friends yet

8. Seeing a three-legged cat with no collar. Breaks my heart

9. Afraid to disappoint the people at my new job

10. Worrying about money
