So I missed the bus this morning (shocker). But instead of spiralling, I walked — music up, mind wandering, sandals surprisingly comfy for city terrain. The sun was soft but hot, and suddenly, every outfit I passed on the street felt like a moving Pinterest board. I felt like the blurry girl in the background of someone else’s aesthetic Reel… but make it main character.
So here’s what I wore. For the walk, the wandering, and the lowkey rebirth that only comes when you’re slightly late and still look good.
This fit sits somewhere between minimalist daydream and subtle power move. The base: a spaghetti strap maxi dress — soft, flowy, but with enough shape to feel dressed (not just thrown on). It’s summer, but I still like structure.
I paired it with barely-there heeled sandals. Surprisingly wearable. Then came the tote bag: matte, boxy, quietly chic. Not screaming designer, but definitely whispering taste.
My lips? A nude balm with just enough shine to look effortless but put together. The kind of product that says “I don’t try too hard” while actually being the exact third product in a four-step routine. Iconic.

Today’s outfit had no loud patterns, no wild cuts — just intention in every texture. Walking slow in a fast city is a choice. So is dressing like you could end up on the page of someone else’s memory.
