Inspiration Around Every Corner

Hiya!

I'm always feeling inspired to do different things. This is partly the reason that I set up this blog in the first place! As cliche as it may sound, life is short and so I really want to live it. I hate to have any regrets. It makes me really sad to think that some people in the world are giving up on life, when there are so many inspiring things around every corner.

There is a lot of beauty, so I find music, people, places, pictures, knowledge everything inspiring. I want to do something and make a difference.

So I am going to share my latest inspiration with you...

On Saturday I went shopping to Bluewater. First I went into this shop (shall remain unnamed!). I love the clothes there and when you first step foot in the shop, all you see is the beautiful clothes and the beautiful shop assistants. Every shop assistant looks like a model that has stepped out the pages of a magazine.

Which is fine and dandy, but what really affected me was when my sister lent over to me and shouted over the bustle of the crowd "I bet I wouldn't be allowed to work here."

She shouldn't be allowed to work in a shop because she doesn't have model looks? It felt really wrong. We moved on and went to Topshop. That was where the theme of this post kicks in. I went to try on some clothes in the changing room and the shop assistant gave me a tag.
This shop assistant is my very inspiration. She was a curvy woman, not what is considered 'model looks' but she had such an amazing and beautiful vibe. She was wearing a velvet dress, boots and a bowler hat.

That is when it struck me, how beautiful it is to express yourself through clothes. And she really had, she didn't look like anyone I had seen that day, she was unique. Just being herself. So that's why I have decided I want to be more brave and express myself through what I wear more, because it can be fun and creative. Best of all it will make me feel good.

Lastly I am going to be daring and order these shoes I haven't been brave enough to buy from Topshop!

Just from this one encounter I feel inspired and reminded of all the beautiful things around. What has made you feel inspired recently? Feel free to leave a comment!

Thanks bowler hat girl
