Meshed Up - DIY Top
My sense of style has been given the title, A Cultural Mesh back in 2013. I was a freshman in College at the time and I was new to social media. Yes, I had Myspace in High School but I was late with the social interaction trends. I never enjoyed mingling with the masses or following what everyone else was doing. For that reason that same year I joined Instagram, my first IG name was, AnUnusualSilhouette. My significant other, made fun of me because he didn't understand the meaning, but back then he didn't understand how eclectic and "different" I was from Suzy down the street. Ever since than that three worded phrase defines me as an individual. I love cultures, in which I seek style inspiration, I can be a hot mess at times, but I create a balance by mixing and matching odd concepts that turn into weird commodities.
Fast forward to present day, I have a lot to express and get off of my chest. Below are
11 "Meshed Up" things occurying in my life at the moment
- Money management, is still in progress, spending more than I make.
- Emotional mess due to love and stress
- The need of three solid internships for me to break into my industry
- Feeling great but not shedding pounds
- Growing my hair is stressing me out
- Mixed feelings towards my inner circle
- Not connected to any church home
- Dreams of moving to NYC but can't afford that life fee
- Discouragement-due to lack of work and self-investment
- Future plans are far out of reach if I don't start pushing myself
- New tribe, where yall at. In search of a network to grow with
This mesh top was a DIY. MonicaStyleMuse and Ms.RayeRaye actually put me on to this life hack back in the day. Turning your tights into a top. I did it a few times but with my ICEcapade theme going on, I thought it would be nice to invite my ice blue mesh tights. Fishnet tights have made a debut into the trend pool. Wearing them under jeans exposing the top part of the tight. I know I wasn't really into that trend so I decided to revert back to the old days where we turned tights in to tops. It's still on trend being that off-shoulder everything has taken over the racks and everything is sheer these days. No privacy as we welcome the world into our exposed body parts as they are still covered under garments.
With everything going on, I chose to do this post in regards to how caught up I am and upset about life I am. This time last year I compare progress. Saddened by the burdens I have caused myself, I only evolved but so much. Others may say otherwise but they only are looking from the exterior. I planned to change it around but failed because I am not in control. God is. He holds the key to my future and can make things better. Confused, lost, restless, stagnant, sad, angry, and helpless. Feelings due to severe emotional, moodiness. If I can help anyone get through their stuggle as I get through mines. Is to pray. Give all of your cares, burdens, worries, and fears into the Lord or to whomever you worship. May that spirit take total control over your mess and turn it into a message. I pray that this time next year you will speak of your growth and prosperity as you help another brother or sister get through their demise.
