Friday Eve

Henry David Thoreau is my favorite writer ever.  i started reading him in a class this week and he has such beautiful and elegant language.  if you ever get a chance to read his compilation of essays, Walden, DO IT you will be pleased.  reading is a lot better than you think it is.

"nay, be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought."

challenge your mind and live life

i love wearing dresses, because they're so stylish yeah? no, well they are but it's because they're the most freeing thing you can wear. freedom=dresses
happy friday eve

content // "in a state of peaceful happiness"

this is me.  i am so content & you should be too because no matter what, life is always good

today is really dedicated to my shoes because they're amazing.  my mom knows my style better than anyone and thrifted these perfect Doc Marten mary janes.  that's TWO pairs of docs that i have now for a combinded total of like $15.  thrift stores are my love language and to all those fools out there dropping hundreds of dollars on clothes STOP and hit up your local thrift.

shoutout to VSCO filters and cool buildings

yeah we're breakin' free

self expression is necessary. sometimes that means breaking down the walls of your comfort zone to let the world know who you really are and what you are made of.
i express myself through clothes and today i went a little out of my zone. i was nervous at first which may seem dumb because it's just clothes right? WRONG at least to me. clothes are my identity in a completely normal and healthy way and trying something new is scary and exciting.  so do that scary thing you love
break free (HSM anyone) of who you "should" be and just be
make your own standards and embrace your beuatiful mind and all of its different passions
(but stay pure and love God in what you do--always)

are
your
own
standard of
beauty"

the library has my heart

& when the seasons change

fall is approaching (sort of) and that brings so many beautiful things.  i'm not talking about pumpkin spice nonsense because that's gross, i'm just talking about the season itself.  fall is a season of change and creativity.  isn't it wild that nature can be so creative?  the leaves change, the weather changes, a new school year brings changing adventures (and stress) but most importantly the clothes change!!!!! if leaves can get creative and change what they look like then so can we.

since today yielded a very little chill i decided to break out layering.  i coupled a gray dress featured in Now I've Had the Time of My Life and a loose black American Eagle top.  i also layered down low by pulling out the ever popular books and socks trend with Vera Wang boots and simple black socks.

piling clothes on is one of my favorite things, the more the merrier.  so let's layer it up and embrace this season of beautiful change.

hope you enjoy!
