A philosophy I’m in love with…

While reading one of my favorite blogs I came across this beauty philosophy that literally made me stop and pause over the words I had just read:

I think beauty is about contrast — that things shouldn’t be too perfect. I’m “allergic” to things being too done-up, whether that be a room or a garden or my personal look. (Kedra Smoot)

Isn’t that a life-changing concept? And totally applicable to so many topics. I love when simplicity can come in and just be.
