4/23 Edited to

... Read moreI recently decided to experiment with claw clips, inspired by their trendy and practical vibe. I was feeling really confident about pulling off a subtle yet stylish look using these accessories. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, which was both frustrating and amusing. Subtle foreshadowing, a concept I tried to incorporate in my style, is all about hinting at an outcome without making it obvious. In my case, I thought the way I arranged the claw clip would perfectly complement my hair, giving a hint of an elegant finish. However, the result was quite the opposite — instead of a seamless blend, it looked a bit chaotic. What I learned from this experience is that sometimes what seems subtle to us might not appear that way to others. Foreshadowing in fashion can be tricky because it relies heavily on perception. Despite the mishap, the attempt pushed me to explore more creative ways to use claw clips and pay attention to details like hair texture and positioning. If you’re thinking about trying claw clips or any subtle styling tricks, keep in mind that confidence is key but so is flexibility. Don’t be afraid to experiment and accept that some attempts might not work out. Those 'failures' often lead to discovering new techniques and personal styles. Overall, my attempt at subtle foreshadowing with a claw clip didn't quite hit the mark, but it was a worthwhile learning experience. Sometimes, embracing those imperfect moments makes the journey more fun and authentic.

I love clothing that make me feel confident
for example, this skirt,it's so flattering and it's not tight, it's elasticized in the back. My favorite thing about the color, it makes everything in the closet cute! #crushpeach #outfitideas #appleshapebody #midsizefashion

I remember feeling SO confident.
Weight was literally falling off. I didn't even have to try. People were complimenting me every day. "Courtney you look SO GOOD!" But what kind of world do we live in where we compliment someone for rapidly losing weight without trying.. instead of asking, "are you okay?"
