Two sides of the moon
I had an epiphany when I was applying moisturiser today. (the low humidity here causes the skin to dry up very fast. That's the price to pay for free airconditioning!)
I applied to the front of my face. Then discovered there was a side of the face. Which was a hell a lot of skin.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is:
The weather here doesn't permit me to wear my favourite dresses and skirts (which normally are spaghetti straps or sleeveless). Which makes me feel terribly unhappy and insecure since jeans are plain and boring, and let's face it, jeans do not flatter every girl. Along with long sleeves and jumpers and sweaters and pullovers and cardigans which I hardly wear and am feeling very confused about what to wear over what and how to match what with what.
And you know what? It doesn't matter. Looks aren't everything.
Oh hell yes I am very vain. Let's face it. I like looking pretty. Or at least having some defined style. Some days it's sunny summy wear. Some days it's plaid and jeans. Some days it's back to basics colours. Or solids.
But I looked at my friends. And they do just fine wearing specs and not dressing their best everyday. There's got to be something else. After all I survived nearly 18 years of my life with specs before getting contacts. And trust me I used to look AWFUL in secondary sch/jc with dreadful hair and horrible spectacles. And yet people still befriended me (hell my best friends are all from sec sch)
So. The thing is. What's inside you matters most. How you relate to people. How you talk to them. Your smile. (look at tab and her grin) Whether you make the effort to connect to people.
And that, is what I'm going to employ until the summer comes again.
