While I was out walking, I found myself reflecting on this year's blog posts (NEGATIVE, ENIGMA, CHANGE, CHAMPAGNE, MAGNETIC, ELEGANCE, FRAGRANCE, ORANGE HABANERO). I started thinking about how to summarize September and what I could call the final post for the month. After all, I’ve been playing a little game with myself this year, trying to work my name into each monthly post. Then, as if on cue, I passed by a girl wearing a jacket with a small patch that read: "Ignorance is Bliss." IGNorAncE. All I can say is – it was a perfectly timed coincidence!
The phrase "ignorance is bliss" suggests that not knowing certain things can sometimes make life easier or more peaceful. Honestly, there are moments when I enjoy not knowing.
Lately, I’ve been gravitating towards the idea that "less is more," with a preference for things that are "free of significance" and surrounded by "a little more silence." I value peace, especially since my days are packed with activity and constant communication.
The best escape this month? Nida! Especially once the holiday crowds have left, but the summer warmth still lingers. There’s nothing quite like the seaside, fresh seafood, and those blissful, iodine-rich sleeps.
As for my current read? TRUE STYLE by G. Bruce Boyer – it's a brilliant dive into the history and principles of classic men’s fashion. Since my everyday life revolves around men’s fashion and Pako Lorente men’s clothing, I always feel the need to keep improving. Sure, ignorance may be bliss, but definitely not when it comes to fashion. As the English statesman Lord Chesterfield famously said, dressing well may seem trivial, but it’s even more foolish to ignore it.
The weather’s cooling down, and it’s time to transition from summer wear to winter layers. Which brands am I looking at? Stay tuned for that soon! My personal style is constantly evolving, and lately, I’ve been drawing a lot of inspiration from men’s fashion – it’s influencing how I dress and present myself these days. More on that in the near future.
Time is flying by. In just two months, we’ll be heading into the most festive season of the year. I’m already thinking about gifts, and honestly, I’m itching to start painting my nails in Christmas red or a rich, deep burgundy. Layers are creeping back into my wardrobe, making me want to wrap up cozy, warm, and snug. I’m already longing for that first snowfall.
I keep returning to this idea of "living and repeating," with a touch of not knowing what’s ahead – that mystery really is bliss.
But remember, clothes speak. Ignorance may be bliss, but definitely not in fashion.
We’ll catch up soon.
If my stories resonate with You, let's connect through my Concept Store, Affiliates, or Virtual Brew. It all keeps the storyline going.
