Growth Spurt

I've decided recently that it's time for me to start dressing a little more intentionally. I'm not saying get up and spend an hour picking out an outfit, but it is time for me to pitch some t shirts and hoodies in exchange for a few blouses and blazers. Since coming back from Europe, I've noticed what people wear more often, and I'm trying to remember some of that when I go shopping- but it's tough.

So far, I've mastered scarves and blazers. Layering anything else is still tricky, and I completely ignore any type of accessory, but we're getting there. Part of the battle is finding pieces of an outfit that I can afford, and make versatile enough to wear it with lots of different pieces.

This week, the goal is to dress like an adult every day, without going out to buy anything new. Hopefully it's a success, and if I can prove to myself that I will start taking my clothes a little more seriously, maybe for Christmas I'll reward myself with a pair of nice riding boots, which I've been dreaming about for a month but I'm not actually confident I could pull off.

I believe that sometimes, it's worth it to take yourself seriously.
