An OOTD and a Catch Up

Where have I been and how could I neglect my blog? I really don't have an answer and I feel nothing short of terrible about it, I can say finishing my second year of university was interesting to say the least but I did it (even if it way by the skin of my teeth) and I am ecstatic to really dedicate my time into the blog over the summer.

I've essentially started working full time and I also was dealing with a lot of sickness, meaning when I wasn't forcing myself to work I was bed bound. A lot of the sickness took a mental toll on me as being ill wasn't something that I'm not use to. I'm not talking about a little bout of the flu either. I was really struggling, But I'm better now so it's all good!

I do feel like there are periods of time where I fall out of love with blogging, or I just forget about it, it's not my job so if I don't keep up with it for a few weeks I don't really see any decline in other aspects of my life. But I do feel a pang of guilt when I remember I've left my blog postless for a while. It's essentially my baby and I am proud of it.

I really wish I was able to show a more summery outfit but if you live in the UK you know how temperamental the weather can be. Last week it was sunny as anything and this week it has been pissing it down!

I spoke briefly in my last post about mental health and my wanting to incorporate it into the blog, it's a really touch and go subject but I do feel the representation of black people suffering with any type of mental health problems isn't enough and so even as small as my platform is I do think it's important to get out what I can.
