It was not New Year. In fact, it had been thirty-six days since the New Year's Day via the Gregorian calendar and six days before the Lunar New Year based on the lunisolar chart. But! On that exciting, and at the same time, calming Saturday, I decided to wear my favorite, traditional NYD outfit type: co-ordinates. And I loved it! I loved it so much more since I wore it to my happy place, the University of the Philippines - Diliman. Similar to the impression of my fresh set, I got a breather already -- finally! 💖 One secret revealed: This vintage floral co-ordinates was supposedly what I must have worn last January 1. However, as you know, I did not. Because part of my plans regarding learning this 2021? I also want to unlearn things! Not because I got used to dressing up with co-ords every New Year, I could not try other outfits anymore. As style evolves, so do I. Would never let the self stuck in one place and we all know that! Or... Not because I usually wear matchings every first day of the year, I could not suit up such pairings on any other day anymore. Since comfort is my key and I felt like fashowning this last weekend, g! I do not want to limit myself to boxed ideas, small spaces because there are always opportunities to grow. Gotta adjust! Thus, adapt! Attune! As part of my hiraya, I am trying some new things to expand my zone, of course. Yet at the same time, also withdrawing patterns which hinders progress and excellence. If I really am into the Start of Something New, then I should commit to Breaking Free as well! And yes, the way I carry myself through OOTDs align to this. This is also why I have to let my getup go and flow. Must live for the vision and mission consistently! 💖 This oldies-but-goodies co-ords is a special outfit because my Mama gave it to me. Yup, she wore it during her heydays, and now wow, I am using it! Super love the dark blue linen with printed roses and vines and my flower-girly heart can never resist. I am into midi skirts to maxis kinds of styles this twenty-twenty-one, so I so, so, so love the set! Moreover, vintage clothes are survivors of time for me. Hopefully, I am gonna be like it when I am old. You know, classic beautiful and still useful. Forever sensible and loved for life. The sentimental, hopeless romantic part of me always develops deep connections on hand-me-downs like this. I pray to experience the happy moments the person had with the things passed on to me, especially when from my mother. Such stuff make me think. Thus, hope to relive the old hopes Ma had for me as I believe that I can still make it. If this co-ordinates made it to now, made it come to UP, made it wear even if I was still kinda sick last Sat, then I will as well! I will make those hidden plans and aspirations back to life. Not just for my Mama, but also for me. It would be this fit that I am gonna remember every time I feel like drowning, but I am actually just rooting. This is the outfit that would remind me that patience and timing are essential to growth, blooming, flourishing. This twinning blouse and skirt would be that clothing remembrance of that memory when I wanted to go away and just breathe, and still, go back home with a smile after a while. Yeah, this is it. These two-pieced, timeless garbs would nudge me to look back at the past and use it as my advantage to prosper at the present. Thus! To walk with good lessons into the future 💖
