Stripe City

I wanted to start this post out by saying thank you to all of you for your comments on my last post. It's very easy to forget that my blog is, in fact my own creation, made for myself and no one else. I definitely want to make sure that I don't lose sight of that fact. Every now and then I find myself getting dressed in the morning and asking myself "Will this outfit gain followers?" instead of "Is this what I feel like wearing today?" and on those days, I end up unhappy because on the one hand, I'm not listening to myself, and on the other hand, I'm trying to please people I don't even know. And that, my friends, is silly. I know that when it all boils down, they're "only clothes," but when it comes to my struggle with listening to myself and following my own wishes for myself, clothes are simply the tip of the iceberg so to speak. I've always battled with myself over doing what others want for me rather than what I truly want, and I really want to start working on this. I think this blog would be a great venue for that ball to start a'rollin.

I actually felt very like myself in this outfit. It wasn't one of those days where I tried on eight different outfits. This was the first thing I put on and I stuck with it. It's a bit more colorful than I usually go for, but I really wanted to wear my bright, rainbow-y headscarf. Of course, I had to add my striped keds, so I ended up with a whole lot of mis-matched stripes, but I think (hope?) it all works in some odd, fun way :)

Oh! And before I forget, I added a whole mess of stuff to my blog shop today! So go check that out if you like :)

Top: Macy's
Jeans: Levi's
Keds: Keds (hehe)









Until tomorrow,
