Versatility

“I like to do new things, so I always take on roles that I feel will keep me on my toes. I never want to pigeon myself, so I always like to surprise myself. I believe in versatility and so I would play anything as long as it was a challenge.” – Archie Panjabi

One thing I love about fashion is how versatile it actually is. There’s nothing I enjoy more but playing with fashion. My style is ever-evolving;  it’s hard for me to describe my style in just a few words, however, ever-evolving is spot on. Fashion trends come and go, and I’ve learned over the years that it’s not so much about trends but about knowing how to dress. It’s important to know what flatters your body type, and what doesn’t. Once you’ve figured that out the fun can begin!

For instance, I never thought I’d wear a backpack with a midi dress but the dress in itself is so flattering and somewhat edgy. The backpack was the perfect addition to this dress, and it also gives it somewhat of a surprise factor. You see, I like to surprise myself every once in a while, too. My husband and son love the backpack – which is probably due the fact that they have never seen me wearing one – but there’s is always a first, and I bet that this won’t be the last time.

After all, I like playing with fashion.

As always, thanks so much for reading and have a fabulous Monday!

Much love, always.

    Vanessa, I absolutely adore this look! I love the black midi dress, which fits you like a glove, paired with those beautiful snakeskin sandals, as well as the studded back pack. I feel everything just blends perfectly to create such a beautiful, edgy, look. I agree, fashion is so fun and inspiring and I also love to play around and experiment with different styes and trends. Thanks so much for sharing, beautiful, and I hope you’re having a wonderful start to your Monday so far! Sending lots of love your way, my beautiful and dear friend!

    I aso agree with you Vanessa. That’s the best thing about fashion. I don’t have a specific style either; I don’t follow trends, although I do like to know what’s current. I just like to wear what best suits me. You look great by the way.

    I hope you had a great Monday!
    For the longest time when I was a teen, and in my early twenties, I would only wear small backpacks rather than handbags. I just find classic purses inconvenient because my hands are not free! I’ve evolved with time and now I’ve abandoned the backpacks but I usually stick to crossbody bags.
