Every Road is a Ray of Light

I've been thinking a lot lately about growing up and taking responsibility for myself. This summer is the first time I've really tried to embrace becoming an adult, as silly as that sounds. I kind of dived head first into applying for jobs, looking for an internship, and trying to make money. It's a very strange thing, at least for me it was, to go from having school be my main and pretty much only priority and having a lot of free time to frantically trying to do as much as I can. The thing is, though, I haven't done anything this summer yet, so it's all in my head at the moment. Next week, if things go according to plan, should be a start to a fairly busy rest of the summer. And as much as I really want to work, get experience, and make some money, I'm worried about the balancing of it all. Will I get to see Zak and my friends? Will I get time to myself at all? These questions probably seem silly and selfish to those of you who have been working for a while, and probably rightfully so, but right now I'm trying to convince myself that every opportunity is a good opportunity (hence the post title) and that I'll be able to manage everything gracefully. Here's hoping!

Anyway, this was my first go at the double denim trend. After seeing some of my favorite bloggers, like Emily, doing it, I really wanted to try a double denim outfit of my own. I really like the casual but put together feel of it, and this will probably become a staple summer outfit.
