let's face it, it could be a thousand degrees outside and i'll still convince myself that wearing all black is the only way to go.
n u d i t y
after a long drought of not wearing heels, i've decided it's rightful time for me to suck it up and strap it on. the key is either upright comfort like this pair or a cab always readily available. in either case, my five foot two self is now ready to be closer to pedestrian height. whew.
keeping to my true monotone roots(and believe me i'm contemplating the risk of prints and colors), most of the time simplicity is key.
nudity is key.
black fringe
can you tell i'm all about the fringe lately? now that the crop top is back in style, an easy way to get into the trend is simply by taking an old shirt and giving it a proper snip. that's exactly what i did with this zara top and voila! came out rather perfect! think about those old pj tops with cool prints that you could revive...

staple

not going to lie... i probably tried on six outfits altogether for thanksgiving dinner. i even made a game out of it with my friend and sister. you know, the "which do you prefer?" game which could literally be never-ending. i decided to wear this skirt from zara which has become quite the staple in my closet this autumn. the final touch was added by my necklace which is actually the handles to my cynthia rowley purse. thought it quite clever of myself.
great expectations
i am one of the biggest book nerds in town. just finishing "great expectations" for the second time (first was in highschool and don't think i appreciated it), i was greatly inspired...
that was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. but, it is the same with any life. imagine one selected day struck out of it, and think how different its course would have been. pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.
