5 Random Facts About Me

The Fashion Folks 34 Comments

Folks, I haven’t had that much time this week so I’m keeping it short today: but still a personal post as April is ending on Sunday. (and a #monthlymirroroutfit, lol). Without further ado: here are 5 random facts about me:

You? Me? Ouí ??

A post shared by The Fashion Folks (@thefashionfolks) on

  1. I’m left handed which I’m so happy about. Haha don’t ask why, but apparently only 12(?) percent of the population are lefties, so feeling all unique and everything *not really*.
  2. Not really a beauty person: For someone who quite often talks about beauty in different ways: I’ve never had my hair dyed, I’ve never done my nails at a salon. Neither have I done lash extensions or brows or anything similar. Haha going for the natural life here! And oh, my ears aren’t pierced. Which is kind of crazy as I own earrings and I adore the statement.
  3. This summer: If everything goes accordingly, I’ll take a course in trend analytics this summer. Not a fact perhaps, but putting it out in the universe: like hello, pretty please, let it happen! 
  4. Faux designer (?): The only reason I feel like I’m not a fashion designer is that I’m terrible at sewing. I haven’t got the required patience for all the steps. If I come up with a new clothing piece in my mind I want it to pop up in front of me immediately. I don’t want to measure, cut a draft, pin it on the fabric, make a hem, sew slowly etc, make adjustments. I want it to be done quickly and I want it to be done now! Hence that: I do sew occasionally but the result is often a disaster. 
  5. Another school related thing: Except The Fashion Folks, I study. Not only one, but two separate degrees (yes, my ambition is outdoing itself). Regarding the first one, I have yet to decide if I’m going to go for fashion theory in general or fashion history in specific. You need both for both, but it’s time to decide the specialization part! Thoughts? Experience? Let me know kiddos!

And here’s this month’s mirror selfie. Find previous months here and here (it’s a thing now). This was me yesterday, out and about. Went for the jumpsuit in a burgundy shade that yellow and navy blue triangles creating a print and - an almost- same colored jacket. I decided to break off the purple life with the oversized sunnies. It looks hot, I do realize, but I had no top or leggings underneath the jumpsuit, so it was only a thin layer! And terribly sorry for the quality, bad combination of a dirty mirror and my editing program screwing things up.

Folks! Hope you’ve had a lovely April and that May will bring all things love, light and chocolate to you all! Thank you, as always, for the love and support this month and with all things TFF I’ve so far planned for May: it might be the best yet! Have a darling weekend!
Mia, Xx

  1. I love your mirror selfies 🙂 and love these facts about you.
    My best friend is a leftie and for the first 4 years of my daughters life, she only used her left hand. Now she only writes and uses her right hand…weird I know (she’s 8 now). Also hubby is ambidextrous.

    Like you, I’ve never done lash extensions or brows or anything similar either and my ears aren’t pierced either…LOL
    Great post! xx

    • Thank you love!! Hahah then you have some almost lefties around you then! Xx

  2. I’m a leftie too!! I’m also happy with this since I feel there’s something quite special about us 😉 …but then again if this was the 1800s we’d be hung to death :/ well aren’t we lucky to be living in these wonderful times LOL

    • Hahah right? The history was hard times for lefties. But we are united now, huh?! Xx

    • Hahah I fear that I’m might become obsessed too! Xx

  6. You look gorgeous, in the selfie! And good luck in school!

    • Haha as it is now I’ll probably end up with fashion theory, but who knows! Xx

  9. Oh wow, you are educated! I hope the upcoming course works out/happens for you! That look is FANTASTIC. Seriously, I adore that jumpsuit.

    I hope you have a wonderful weekend lady!

  11. Love your purple coat, and that’s such a nice printed jumpsuit on you! 🙂

    Well done on doing two degrees, wow! one was enough for me and it took me AAAGES to graduate, haha!

    Was nice to read more about you. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend 🙂

    • Hahah the only thing that saves me from going too stressed is that I’m genuinely lazy/easily distracted. So I manage to have some time off even though I shouldn’t haha. Just have to step up the game! Xx

  14. This week was crazy for me too for some reason, idk, I feel like it was everyone for some strange reason. Anyway, I hope you get some time to relax! How cool that you’re left handed tho! Definitely something to feel quite amazing about, only 12% of the population?! Girl, you’re limited edition, lol! Have you thought of Thur possibility of becoming a creative director? Idk the specifics, but from what I understand they’re the creative masterminds, not so much the designer? As for majors, both seem suitable for you because you’re so informed in both areas and have such a professorial approach to explaining them, but in a way that’s not dry and boring, lol! Thanks for sharing, babe, and I hope you have the best weekend ahead!

    • Hahaha, well, I shall take your words for it and further on refer to myself as limited edition, looool! I know that creative directors are more the creative genius of the group, but it would be so weird to be in a position where I’m not able to perform the task I require of others?! Well, who knows where I’ll end up haha! Xx

  16. Always fun finding out a little something about the lovely people I follow. I’m not so much into beauty either, never had my nails done at a salon either, I rarely use nail polish hehe, so I guess we are somehow long lost sisters. Have a lovely weekend! xx
