These days I’ve been pretty happy about where I’m at. I always love when I feel like I’m doing better in a bunch of different aspects, I love making so much progress in my life! I feel like I’ve been always getting better with myself and my personal progress, like with how I’m doing with everything all the time, but in also the things that I do with my time & efforts like blogging & living my life of course too. I love that blogging can also reflect that progress of mine in a few different ways, like making progress on how my photoshoots turn out but how that also expresses a degree of how I’m doing emotionally and creatively with myself (and my blog & everything) and I really appreciate making that sort of progress! I love that I’ve been doing so well and that I’ve been able to really reflect all of this energy on my blog even better this year than I was doing just last year, with the rapid pace I’ve been keeping up with with all of it, too. I started blogging again regularly a couple years ago basically and I’ve been ramping up and doing better with everything since then. It’s crazy to see that evolution with me, even just in conjunction with like, how long my hair has been growing since then + putting in as much of my time & energy into blogging as I have been, and really seeing how much better I can do as I go with it consistently! Since last year though I’ve done even better than two years ago, which is when I started doing the two-blog-posts a month thing all the time, instead of one a month like the year before. That ended up being perfect for me, so I’ve kept up with blogging at that pace pretty much this year as well! I can’t believe it’s already halfway through the year now, I love everything I’ve done this year so far so much! I also can’t believe it’s been basically a year since I did a shoot for one of my fave (signature) pictures I’ve taken of myself in a pretty long time, Hackney, that was awesome for me too! I as always have had that picture as my lock-screen on my phone, since. It’s such a good one. I love fading from the red hair to blonde hair but still always going back to the red all the time, that’s awesome! I love how that looks on me and I love cycling through the different looks all the time, too. This photoshoot is my last blonde one for a second, but it turned out really awesome and I love it so much. I also have been keeping up a bunch on shooting all of my dresses & everything this year, always accomplishing as much as I can to get as much of my wardrobe shot in all of my different photoshoots with outfits from all of my clothes all of these years! For this one, I picked this dress I got when I was like 15 or 16 online from Boohoo, which is this really cute bandage/bodycon type style of a black dress and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to finally shoot it! That’s so crazy to me, but I finally got to shoot this cute dress with a MAC lipstick of mine I’ve had for so long but hadn’t shot yet, either, called Velvet Teddy. It’s a pretty good combo, I love when all of my things come together like this & work together in the way that they do. I love going through everything I have & crossing things off my list & finally getting around to shooting everything that I haven’t yet! It’s cool that I’ve been getting to do so much of that so consistently, finally. I have been getting so much of that done lately!

So this look & photoshoot are called Basically. which I thought was pretty cool, because this dress to me works so well by itself & with the pumps I paired it with, plus I love using words like ‘basically’ sometimes because I think it works for me pretty well! I thought it was kind of simple (of a title) but worked well for this look, which was kind of something I liked about some of the photoshoot as well. I also love it when some of my outfits & shoots end up varying as much as mine have lately, with like all of them having different themes to them and everything, making them look so unique to their concepts & whatever! I like it when I get it right like that, like making a photoshoot have it’s general theme or idea that ends up being so different than one of my other ones, which is really cool (even if they had something in common!). I’m getting better at doing things like that, like this whole year I’ve been doing so good with all of my photoshoots and outfits and ideas and they keep turning out pretty well! I’m glad I’m good with ideas & concepts and relating them when I’m working on a photoshoot and/or blog post. I really appreciate this year so far and how good I’ve been doing with everything and I’m proud of where I’m at with everything! I’m glad I’ve been doing so well with blogging these days too. I can’t wait to keep doing cool things this year & to see where that’s going to get me (next)!
