Rain or Shine

Rain or shine, these pants are one of my favorite things. They're so comfortable, but ufortunately they're just not the kind of thing you can wear everyday. (That's how people get bad nicknames, like "poncho girl" or "strange 70s hippie pants chick".) However, because when it's hot it's too hot for pants, I thought today's overcast skies would be perfect to bust out my bells. Then it started to rain. And I didn't even care. That's how you know you're feeling good in your outfit.

When was the last time you felt great in what you were wearing?

All There

 "Wherever You Are, Be All There." 

Maybe it's the sunshine talking, but I'm feeling pretty damn alive lately. I have always been the kind of person who feels emotions very deeply, which is both a blessing and a curse, but I have not always been the kind of person who embraces it. I'm still not really, but every once and a while I get a peek into what life is like when you live it 'all there', and I realize all over again how mesmerizing and stupidly wonderful life can be. Today was one of those days for me, and I feel like my outfit reflected that. Outfits are more than just a "style", to me, they're an emotion, and today's emotions were happy, lively, grateful, and all there.

It Takes a Trian to Cry

I got my new shoes in! If you follow me on Instagram, you know how excited and obsessed I've been about these shoes. (Follow my Instagram here!) They finally came in last night and I literally wore them around my house for hours, and then to class and out and about all day today! It's pretty safe to say they are well broken into. I love the folksy feel of these shoes. I am a huge fan of 1960s and 1970s fashion, but I think that the folk aspect of that time is often largely left unnoticed. People think of bohemian and hippie and disco fever, which is all very relevant, but there's something about Bob Dylan and Joan Baez's folk style and attitude that always appealed to me way more. These shoes just evoke a feeling in me. I love when fashion can do that, just the same way a song can; just the way a Bob Dylan song can.
