Hey guys. So this is my first 2018 post. I know this is late but Happy New Year to everyone. I hope you all had a good start to 2018. Initially I wanted to title this post “New Year, New Me” but I decided, no, I think “Reflections” would be a much more appropriate description of my transition into the new year. Well, 2017 was quite a tough year for me, but it also came with a lot of positives. I got to know myself a little better, finally learned to put myself first and made a decision to stop tolerating toxic behavior be it with relationships, family or friends. Most importantly, I learned to appreciate and love myself more and give myself credit when it was due. I am not perfect, but I always work hard in order to achieve my goals. I would not say in this new year, there is going to be a new version of me, however, I am still the old Paida, just a little bit more stronger and wiser. I hope you all find new strength and inspiration to achieve whatever it is that you have set your minds to in this new year.
I want to thank each and everyone of you who read and supported my blog in 2017. I appreciate you all and I will try to be more consistent and create more creative content for you guys in 2018. Now lets talk about my outfit. I purchased this gingham trench coat last season at NEXT and I got a chance to wear it this weekend. Even though it is an XS, it is absolutely huge. I love over-sized coats and I paired it with a simple turtleneck and some straight leg jeans. I kept the rest of the outfit quite simple because the coat is the star of the outfit for me. Wearing it draped over my shoulders adds a relaxed chic vibe to it. The coat is no longer available but I will link a similar one down below. I recently discovered LOVISA and I love it. They cater to every jewellery style from small delicate pieces to big chunky boho-chic pieces. When I saw this layered gold chain, I fell in love with the pendant detail. It is so chic and I see myself pairing it with a lot outfits. I was sad to see that they do not have an online store yet, but they have a few physical stores around the UK and their website navigates you to one of them near you. I linked their website below. Thank you for reading and have a great weekend.
