I have been MIA, sorry! Busy times, long days at work and barely any energy left when I'm done with everything in the evening. And so little inspiration for blog posts too, so please excuse me if I keep things short and sweet right now.
I love this outfit! This dress is such a great all-rounder. The cut is just right, understated enough for the office but chic enough to be easily dressed up for a party as well. I made the look a bit edgier and more youthful by layering the dress over a mesh longsleeve. Such a cool layering piece, I really can't recommend it enough. Having a mesh top in your closet makes it easy to play around and add interest to simple looks. I know it looks a bit like I'm wearing a bodysuit because of how the tights and the top seem to be made out of the same fabric, but I'm not. My life is not that exciting.
Btw, totally random but I've been really enjoying the fallout surrounding Harvey Weinstein. I've been following Rose McGowan on instagram for a while, reading her testimonies about abuse in Hollywood, and finally seeing her fight culminate in all these women coming together to take down the beast is impressive and inspiring. I think that most women just have this visceral understanding of the fact that sexual violence is everywhere. The women I know are not surprised by what is being "revealed" right now. But this has always been an integral part of Hollywood and our culture in general.
What is surprising, and revolutionary if you ask me, is that this person has been taken down, and so quickly at that. We've seen a similar story with Bill Cosby but this time people are believing the victims straight away. I feel like, thanks to all the women who have come forward in similar cases, demanding to be heard, people are finally realizing how common this abuse is and how these stories are not farfetched.
I guess I failed at keeping it short and sweet, typically me. Anyway, I'm going to log off and unwind a bit before bed. Doesn't it seem like you have so much fewer hours in the day during fall and winter?
