Lately I’ve been in a creative rut. I haven’t felt particularly myself and haven’t had any new ideas. Not a big deal- everyone goes through creative blocks- but I sort of just realized that I’ve been looking for inspiration in all the wrong places. When I’m feeling uninspired and lost, I usually find myself looking to others. I read blogs and scroll through social media searching for ideas, when really the ultimate inspiration is right in front of me: my own blog.
It sounds soooo self-important; let me explain.

Yesterday I was scrolling through my old blog posts looking for a particular photo. When I got to my posts from this time last year, I was kind of taken aback. I was having the BEST time blogging! I was dedicated yet laid back, and having so much fun creating. Seeing these posts made a little light go off in my brain, and I proceeded to read through all of my posts from last fall/winter. It brought back some awesome memories, and also reminded me that I am capable of doing some pretty cool stuff! And even if it’s not that great, I was enjoying myself while creating it.
There’s something to be said for looking to yourself for inspiration. Look back to a time when you felt most yourself and most productive; you ARE that person and can be that person again!

I’m feeling like my old self today. My eyeliner is even, I’m wearing plaid, my nails are freshly painted. It makes me feel refreshed and excited for what this fall has to offer! I’ve included photos from some of those old posts that made me smile in hopes that I can look back on this post and remember to relax and just do it!
I know that I am wayyyy too hard on myself, and that’s something I’m going to start working on. My blog is meant to be a place to share things that I love. I love finding new beauty products and taking pictures of cute things I see. I love writing (I’ve always loved writing). I love making my boyfriend take photos of my outfits.
That’s The Clydescope.

See you next week for some serious Iceland chats, and hopefully a fall outfit post! (Assuming the weather & my hair cooperate this weekend…)
