Life is funny.

Sometimes it goes in the way you expect and plan.

Other times is does the COMPLETE OPPOSITE.

I am still the same young, slightly fashion-intimidated person as before, things just took a weird turn.

There I was, in Art school at PSU, having a gloriously fun time learning about history and drawing every day. Then: the Government (and their lack of funding for my education). Things were spiraling out of control! I was stressed all the time, and eating nothing but Ramen Noodles. My boyfriend and I broke up. I had to drop my classes for next semester. I was just a barista again. Bills could barely be paid.

And fashion took a backseat.

Now I'm back! And excited to say that life is okay again. Therefore, BACK TO FASHION. I moved from Oregon to Washington and am back to living with my parents. That's okay though, because we're like the three musketeers. It's pretty rad. With the financial weight lifted off my shoulders, I'm back to accumulating adorably folksy, romantic pieces to my wardrobe.

Pictures of my outfits to come, but in the meantime take a gander at my outfit inspirations:

Stay cozy everyone!

Morning Light

When you think of a bohemian girl, what do you think about her?

   To me, she is a super confident, edgy, effortlessly cool girl. She knows exactly where all the cool parties are, knows obscure bands that are just about to become famous, and is fearless about life. She may smoke sometimes, and is super sexy and knows it. She is artistic, and relaxed, and doesn't care about what people think. She is healthy, fit, and one with nature.

  This is the kind of girl I've always wanted to be. I'm very attracted to bohemian styles and patterns, and have been adding those pieces in my closet, but to no avail. I've never been fearless enough to wear them around. The bohemian style is one that is instantly recognized, very styled, and people on the street know exactly the type of person you are. There is no hiding - and bohemian girls don't want to hide. I have been wanting to be this girl for years, but maybe it's time to recognize that I will never be her. 

  But if I'm not bohemian... what am I?

  If I'm attracted to something, doesn't that reflect the real me?
