FORGET THE REST

I've found myself lost. I'm trying to navigate this new world that I've become increasingly involved with, and quite obviously failing. I know I talk a lot about 'taking the first step' and 'grabbing opportunities', but what happens when you've done that? What happens when you're on the second or third step? 

My decision to be more involved in university life has been rewarding- the people, the experiences, the memories- but it's also challenging. There is gossip, drama, and history that rears its ugly head into conversations and friendships. I'll admit, I got a little caught up in it all. While it's nice to feel a part of something, it shouldn't comprise my integrity or identity. So I'm choosing to not take a step back per se, but rather just forget the rest. Forget the temptation of 'he-said-she-said's. Forget the petty arguments. And put my time and energy into being the trustworthy friend I was before I lost myself.

INDUSTRIAL GROOVE

Apologies for the two week hiatus. Things have been a little trying. Exhaustion levels are high. As are frustration and tiredness. I hate to complain because I know there are other people in more difficult situations, but I only have my own experiences to go off. And recently everything seems to come with a side of sadness. While I won't go into specifics- do I ever?- I am trying to get my groove back. When I think groove, I think of the seventies. And so here is my take on a chic, seventies inspired outfit.

GONE BAD

Please excuse the Rihanna reference, but this outfit cannot be described more accurately than 'Good Girls Gone Bad'. This is the most feminine and delicate dress I own. As the quintessential good girl dress, I feel too uncomfortable to wear it alone. White with frills and romantic lace is just not my style. Then here is where it goes bad- or in my opinion, gets much better. Adding a tough, rugged leather jacket with badass zipper and stud details; paired with rough, lace up boots. The good girl is still under there somewhere. Just coated with the attitude of a bad girl exterior.
