school for cool: the tiny muse version

DO YOU EVER GO THROUGH PHASES WHERE YOU FEEL LIKE ALL YOUR MOTIVATION AND CREATIVE JUICES DRY UP? BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I'VE BEEN FEELING THESE PAST FEW WEEKS, WHICH IS THE REASON THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN POSTING ON THE REG, AS (REGULARLY) PROMISED. I'M TRYING TO GET MY HEAD BACK IN THE GAME, STARTING WITH THESE FUN LITTLE EDITS OF OUTTAKES FROM MY FEATURE IN THIS MONTH'S STATUS MAGAZINE. YOU CAN FIND THE FULL ISSUE ON THEIR WEBSITE FOR FREE. FLIP TO PAGE 100 TO SEE ME TALKING ABOUT A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS.

Shooting this little lookbook has left me lusting for freedom and positive vibes - things that are pretty hard to imagine when you're slugging through work during exam season. I'm taking a break to time travel for a bit - this is my (pastel-infused, in Tiny Muse tradition) take on the trending 70s era.
