Darkness illuminates light. Because of darkness, light shines brighter.Growing up I wished neither darkness nor downtime ever existed, it should be all rosy and beautiful. Then I realized that I appreciated the times when I was up most especially because of the downtime.

When life knocks you down, you get right up.When asked how I am still working out after several years. My response is ‘I keep getting up after each fall’. It has not been a smooth workout sail. I sure do know the benefit of working out and have chosen to keep at it, no matter how many times I fall off the wagon.

I have always loved the beauty a shirred material gives off and the slimming effect of black colour all summed up in one. Transforming a non-stretch fabric to become stretchy or elastic could be time-consuming but it is worth it, especially if you do it the right way. I made this outfit in 10 hours, as simple as it looks I know.

I like the volume this gives to the sides and the classiness of it. I made this flounce trouser to pair up with the draped/cowl top I posted yesterday from a request of a friend who wanted office outfits. I chose them because she loves volume being a slim young lady.

I have always loved the drapes that fall so elegantly on the front bossom. I like it even more because it can be worn by both the busty and those who are not busty.For those who are busty, the drapes(folds and curves) act as a perfect distraction while for those who are not, it adds volume not to forget the elegance that comes with it.

I'm on a row…😁 Day three of purposefully working out and feeling so fit.Although at the back of my mind, I have a lot to get done with closed-up deadlines that I should be overwhelmed. It's lovely how I'm taking things easy, one step at a time. Like I said in my previous post. When I'm tired I rest and after getting that rest, I wake up energized to continue. I do what I love whilst working as well so it doesn't feel as strenuous, i.e. watching my favourite shows/TV series or audiobooks while sewing up clothes.
