More sunshine means I can finally change out my winter bags for spring! 🌸🌿
.
Do you change your accessories more with the seasons or do go against the grain and just wear what you want? I tend to be swayed by temps and colors, but I have been know to wear about 60% of my closet year round.

I can’t get my head around the fact that the first picture was taken yesterday while I was working in the yard/trying to grab my brother’s rebel cat before he jumped over the neighbor’s fence; and the second video is from just 40 minutes ago when it decided to, um... snow??? 🧐 Anyways, I guess that’s the wild spring for ya!
.
Someone I’m always inspired by, @swaglen, shared a beautiful pout in her instagram stories today about what it means to slow down. Coupled with @christinalynncreative’s fabulous question line of “Why are you on Instagram?” I’ve found myself really wondering about the two points in coexistence.
.
Lately I feel like I’ve been all muddled when it comes to artist style, finding balance, and settling on a purpose. I’ve been posting, second guessing, archiving, messing with my editing style, and basically been spinning out into the void 🚀 I feel like I’m not as happy with my work as I’d like to be and that I’m always seeing other people’s styles less as a fellow creative, and more as an outsider watching it all from across the room. I’ve wanted to find more purposeful reasonings for being on social media, and as I mentioned to @swaglen, I feel like I’m at a point of, “If I’m not doing it all, I’m doing nothing.” I guess what I mean by that is, if I’m not sharing my best work, being expressive in art and communication, and creating a purpose for sharing, I’m not good enough and should therefore just stop. Not a great mindset 🌟
.
It’s something to think on and work through and hopefully as spring comes into fuller view, I can figure a piece of myself out. I feel like my “identify” so to speak, has become blurred. A change of the season may be just what my body and mind need.
.
How are you doing? Do you find yourself comfortably knowing your end goal or are you experimenting with things?

Since our spring here is still very brown and grey with slices of green and blue, here are some photos from last spring, when everything was in... full swing! (Was that a terrible cliched rhyme? Probably 🤷🏽‍♀️)
.
What color is spring where you are? I’m seeing gorgeous blossoms and fresh buds all over instagram. 🌿🌸
