Minimize

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about minimalism. Perhaps it’s the new year bringing that sense of purging what’s unnecessary or maybe it’s just laziness. Upon reflection, it’s as if bigger, brighter, bolder  is better, which is definitely not always the case. I’ve been inspired by European fashion for such a long time and this video from Carloline’s Mode is a perfect example of European minimalism.  It’s a reminder that fashion doesn’t need to be complicated.

By the way, can we talk about these shoes?! My bf got them for me for Christmas and I am so beyond in love with them (and him) that lately I wear them every chance I get.
