Golden hour glow and a whole lot of feeling it today ✨ Loving these cozy knits and letting the city streets do their thing - feels like everything’s falling into place when you’re wearing what makes y...
The wool feels scratchy tonight, doesn’t it? Not unpleasant, not really – usually we loved the way it held against us, like a well-worn secret. But tonight...well, let’s be honest with ourselves. It’s been a while since we felt so certain about everything. This skirt was always your favourite, wasn’t it? A little too bold for some, perhaps - dark green, almost brooding - but perfect to capture the light when it hit right. Now look at you, standing there, all observant angles and hesitant smiles. Like you’re expecting us to remember, expect us to admit it didn’t entirely fall apart after all.
Of course, it did. Bittersweetly, beautifully, inevitably. That’s always been our style, hasn’t it? The slight disconnect, the ghost of a touch lingering in the familiarities. See how the sleeve brushes your hand here, a subtle reminder of those evenings by the fire, the scent of woodsmoke and wine, the low hum of conversation only we seemed to hear. And then, suddenly, he'd ask for a glass, and we'd both laugh, a little nervously, of course.
Your eyes were wide last time you saw us. Nervousness in yours too, hadn’ed it? Maybe even a hint of hope. Did you think we’d forgotten the way the sunlight used to catch in your hair? Or maybe you weren’t sure if we had—it's been five years, after all. Five years of quiet living, of good coffee, and plenty of space to keep the memories separate.
Now, don’t stand there staring quite so intently. It’s alright, isn't it? Just return one of our glances. One small step back into the warmth, into the comfort. Even if it’s just a flicker. We haven’t completely shut down yet, have we? Not entirely. Let the stillness settle, let the dust motes dance in the lamplight, let the sound of your breath breathe a bit of life back in.”
So, what do you think? How did we do?
