Excuse my random absence from the world of blogging. I haven't been too inspired on the being-fashionable front. So I haven't been. You know when you get in those moods where you just want to put on a hoodie, sit on the couch, and eat cookies? I've been experiencing that mood for almost a week straight. And then I get nervous because I'm like, "OMG. This mood should only last an evening or two, not a week! What if I can't get out of it? What if all I ever do is wear hoodies, sit on the couch, and eat cookies for the rest of my life? OMG OMG OMG!" Then I get a little sweaty and try really really hard to get inspired and be stylin' and whatnot, but, as we all know, pressure + inspiration do not typically go together. So, in the end, I just grab another cookie and hope for the best.
I also had the completely random and uncomfortable notion that I should chop my hair off and dye it dark brown. I think this is a hint that I need more excitement in my life. Maybe I should go out more.
* I'll be catching up on blogs in the next couple of days. Right now, I've got a date with my living room sofa and the remote control.

I totally understand. I've been there. The good news is you'll come out of this mood on your own; no effort required; it'll simply happen when you're ready. Hang in there and do whatever feels right.
ReplyDeletesooo pretty i love the sunlight! come backkkk :)

I totally get that feeling but it usually happens in the morning when I'm standing in front of my closet with no idea what to wear and I get frustrated and I just give up and I tell myself that tomorrow I'll look cute but then the whole cycle just repeats itself! But eventually, an outfit just comes to me and I snap out of it and all is well :) So take your time and when you're feeling inspired and ready to come back we'll be here :)
ReplyDeleteThese photos are stunning! I love the photography and you look gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYour pics are incredibly inspiring for me!
ReplyDeleteHave fun on your couch girl... I have the same mood, plus it was the week of being stupid and spammed and now sick. I've been coughing for 2 days and refuse to go to the doctor and don't get proper sleep! (more pisces that go through a crappy week? Anyone?)
p.s. I haven't sent your little parcel yet! I'll let you know!! Kisses and hugs to make you feel better soon!
Wow - those photos are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand the cookie+hoodie mood - that was my Spring Break, haha. Take your time and hopefully I'll see you back soon! :)

i'm sure inspiration and excitement will be knocking on ur door soon! i have faith in u!
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel - transition from winter to spring is to blame. Spring is energy but during winter we've had less activities and too much food. So, our bodies are lazy and hard to catch up with spring. Only solution - go against yourself and start to move your lazy body more ;)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! The use of lighting is just incredible :)
ReplyDeleteSorry that you've been feeling like that lately. If it makes you feel any better, despite you not feeling inspired, you're still continuing to inspire your readers :)
Hope you feel better soon x x

Hang in there girl....itll pass:)
ReplyDeleteLove the sunnies.
Stop by and say Hello:)
Enter my Mochila Bag Giveaway!!♥
Yeah, I know that mood. A girl can certainly be forgiven for falling victim to it. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you're out of the funk, even if only partially, since I love seeing your posts.
Yes. I know those moods. Sometimes I can shake them for what feels like months. Even on the days when I force myself to get dressed and take photos, I'm dreaming of fleece pants and reruns of burn notice.
ReplyDeleteI do love your first shot!
Lately my lens has been giving me grief about auto focusing when I try to shoot into the sun and everything comes out blurry.
yep, totes been there! it happens. you did just finish school, so i say go with it and enjoy it while you can!
ReplyDeletePLEASE DO NOT CUT YOUR HAIR! its sooo long and beautiful! but, i can see you really rockin a dark bob...
stunning pics and I'm in love with your dress!:)
ReplyDelete♥
Funny that you say that cause I was JUST there where you are. And, I ended up chopping my hair in an inverted bob and dying it from ash blonde to black blue, and I love it.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be ok! Enjoy for now and don't worry!
As a short-haired chicita, I'm just saying, a short haircut might change your life. Plus, it grows back, yo.
ReplyDeleteFeel better though. That is all that matters. :]]

Take a break. You have the right to and we will be here waiting!
ReplyDeletei get in those moods too from time to time. think hard before cutting your hair...it takes so long to grow back
ReplyDeleteI've been in that same mood for two weeks now. My blog is suffering because of it. But I'm hoping that the arrival of springtime will snap me out of it. I took a step in the fashion inspriation direction by unpacking my spring and summer dresses yesterday. But today, I'm still in baggy jeans and a sweater.
ReplyDeleteDo you think it's spring exhaustion? I've been feeling quite similar lately... including the panic attacks. Still managed some cool pictures though!
ReplyDeleteI hear you. I get the same way. I love your honesty. Because you are honest and aware makes me know that you will be ok. But I'm always available to talk if you need me. Always, for you.
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Tracy
Great photos. Enjoy your downtime and make the most of a break. I know you'll be back soon with some amazing looks.
ReplyDeleteI have been in that same mood many times before
ReplyDeleteSometimes it just takes a jolt of thinking up something fun to do and sometimes it's just our body rejuvenating itself for some thing really big that is about to come along
Hope you are least eating yummy cookies! Oatmeal Raisin perhaps!
Brett
I get in that mood alll the time :(
ReplyDeleteThat picture looks absolutely amazing. What a great shot. Are those diet cookies cause you look great (not that you didn't before)

Sweetie....you could NEVER wear a little slutty beach cover up, hehehe....and, I have to agree with the commenter I saw earlier.....you are looking pretty skinny sweets!!!
ReplyDeleteYou look great! That 2nd picture is amazing, seriously looks like a sunglasses ad. I have serious hair envy so I think you should keep your hair, though I bet you'd look great as a brunette, too.
ReplyDeleteYou're not alone in this, Ashley. I've read similar stuff on other blogger's posts too and I've been having a 'don't-feel-like-posting week too. I hope I snap out of it fast. Could it be a 'I've blogged for a whole year' feeling??
ReplyDeletegosh you are the sexiest girl I read.
ReplyDeleteyou look great!
ReplyDeleteas for sitting on the sofa with cookies... I think it's just fine but not for too long. day or two is the best. fine - up to week. more when week or so - too much. and... you readers miss you (ok, I didn't miss, I was away as well.. but anyway, I miss now)
I am totally with you on the unmotivated/uninspired front missy! Its been a struggle to keep posting these last few weeks.Maybe its something in the air? hmm
ReplyDeleteps I gave you a stylish blogger award on my blog today. :)x
I was furloughed from work for a week and spent 60 percent of my time off on the couch with ice cream and netflix on demand. Yeah. So I know what you mean!
ReplyDeleteamazing pics !
ReplyDeletexoxo
You look so beautiful and so great. I love your pictures and style.
ReplyDeleteI am studying advertising and Gosh, I love it so much. I don't really like marketing but I love creation. My school is great because we do a little bit of everything. I'd be happy to talk to you about that.
xx
Love the lighting in that first shot! And I know what you mean, I feel that way sometimes too, actually...i do right ow...probably because I hardly brought anything with me on vaca

Agree with Shy 100%...it's just something that needs to happen from time to time, and you gotta give yourself permission to allow it, and when you're ready, you'll come back out of it. Everyone's entitled to a hoodies-and-cookies sabbatical now and then. ;) You won't stay this way forever, and it's perfectly healthy.
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned before that you're itching to redecorate and now change your hair...both of these things happen to me every so often, and it may or may not be a symptom of boredom or just needing a new and fresh creative outlet. (Or maybe it really is as simple as wanting to redecorate or change your hair! lol) When I get too busy with other things to be creative, I end up feeling terribly stifled after a while. Of course, your fashion is always creative, but sometimes ya just need somethin' new and different. Why not start with your bedroom and see how you feel?
god, you are so pretty ! cool awesome !!!
