Blogs and bags

The first blog post. It seems so daunting facing a blank page, or blank blog. I've only done this a couple of times before, and even then it was for school projects, but I'm going to give it a go.

I don't have any strict plan or goals for this blog, but I thought it could be a place to just put down my thoughts and observations on what's happening in fashion and give me the chance to practice my writing.

I was never really into blogging, but recently came around to it. It suddenly seemed like such a good idea. It's strange how that happens every so often, when you are so against something or really dislike it, and then all of a sudden, literally overnight, you have a complete change of mind.

This happened to me recently with something else. All of a sudden, out of no where, I wanted a yellow bag. I have no explanation for this phenomena, but I can explain why it's so strange. I am not a yellow person. I have held quite the grudge against the colour for years, for two reasons. The first is that it looks awful on me. I tried on a pastel yellow top once, and was quickly told that I looked ill. Now, I know that with a lot of effort I probably could find a tone of yellow that might possibly look ok and not make me look like I died three days earlier, but there's more.

When I was much younger, my friend was telling me how her mum hated yellow and how onetime when she saw someone wearing yellow she asked if that person was blind. Yikes. That kinda put a negative spin on yellow for me. It's funny how these things stick with us way past childhood.

So that's why I always hated yellow. But now, suddenly, I'm desperate for a yellow bag. And I have a blog. I never saw it coming, but I think I'm going to like it. The blog, that is. And the bag, if I ever get one.
