SOMETHING PRETTY



Every woman has that go-to something that makes her feel pretty when wearing it. And I don't just mean something that makes her feel like she looks pretty, but literally makes her feel pretty. For me it's Batik, and all other culturally inherited patterns in various areas throughout Indonesia, but for the purpose of this article I'll just refer to Batik. 

I think Batik is genuinely and consummately beautiful. Recently I was involved in a workshop where we were taught to paint Batik on a 30x30 cm canvas. Man, it looked so easy how those ladies did it. My canvas doesn't turn out so admirably, haha thanks to my major lacking of drawing and painting skills. But an important take away was that original Batik cloths that are traditionally painted are more than just paintings, they are a continuous effort of preserving the culture and heritage that originates from and has been passed down to hundreds of generations on this homeland of ours. 

Hence, wearing Batik makes me feel like I am a part of my people, like I am connected to this motherland. Give me Batik anything, and I am a happy girl.

Do you have anything that makes you feel heart and soul pretty? Please do share!

    I do like batik whenever it's in a skirt or a dress but somehow men batik shirts looks really old and too traditional to me. You look so lovely in the pictures, love the slit on the skirt, makes it really pretty.

    Hm, I cant think of any fashion item that makes me feel that way. But red lipstick makes me feel all powerful and happy.

    I'm not surprised this makes you feel pretty because you look stunning! Weirdly my leather jacket makes me feel pretty even though it's not a 'girly' thing - it does make me feel so happy though x
