Real Mature

September 21 1
So, I hate to get all mushy-gushy here (that's a lie, mushy-gushy posts are the best and I love them dearly), I just wanted to say how much I appreciated your feedback and thoughts on my last post. I definitely got teary (or, uh, maybe outright cried. Maybe.) when I read your sweet, supportive words. My life is in this weird transitional space right now, and it's really rather wonderful to be a part of this community, and to be able to share all of my messy experiences with you all.

I suppose I should talk about what I'm wearing now. Yesterday, it came up at work (read: I brought it up because I'm ridiculous) that my birthday is fairly soon, and that I'm going to be 20, to which one of my bosses was all "We've got a kid on our hands!" or something to that extent. And of course, I replied in my most dignified, adult (read: whiny baby) that I was not, in fact, a kid, and that 20 is a very adult age to be. As you can see, today I am wearing a large bow in my hair and a top covered in tiny deer, and (as you'll see if you scroll down) am twirling like a ballerina just for the heck of it. Clearly, I am well on my way to adulthood.

Blouse/dress: H&M, Skirt: Forever 21, Shoes: Urban Outfitters, Jean Jacket: Salvation Army, Bow: Bethany

    Oh, I saw that deer dress/blouse at H&M yesterday! It is really cute. They also had some adorable heart-print cardigans...I bought one for my friend for her birthday =D Nice styling with the yellow skirt!

    Psh I'm nearing 22 in December and I am not even close to being an adult (which is probably why I chose to be a teacher so my inner child can ALWAYS come out and play hehe). You look so lovely Nicole. I think you dress your age so stay that way :) <3

    I think you're the perfect mix of kid and adult.
    I was reading through the post before this and I am blown away by your thoughts (and perfectly constructed grammar and sentences). It's clear that a kid wouldn't even think twice about any of that. You are really wise beyond your years!

    This out is so delightfully vintage and whimsical at the same time. It's the perfect youth outfit to balance the grown up that's inside you. :)

    aw, you don't seem immature. you seem fun, yet have a serious, sensible head on your shoulders.

    Darling outfit, by the way. I'm totally smitten with your mustard skirt...it's adorable!

    i don't think we ever really have to be adults or mature or whatever. maybe a tad responsible... but acting stuffy and boring? never!! you look darling as always. sigh. i'm waiting for you to move here so we can be bffs! :)

    You have to be my favorite fashion blogger right now. Every time I go to get dressed and think of what to wear, but can't come up with it, you are wearing it! :):)

    Haha, you are becoming an adult when you refer to yourself as an "Adult", and not a grown-up. As I am so often reminded. :p

    Ha, maturity is overrated anyway. I enjoy (not sure that's the right word) reading all your breakup-related posts, since I'm not processing my own publicly yet. And may not. Does Zack read your blog? Do you feel he might be analyzing what you write and does that affect what you do write? I simply do not feel free at the moment to express myself on my blog for just that reason...
