Born in the U.S.A.

Despite how many people complain about how much they hate America and all its politics and everything else about it, on the 4th of July people tend to forget about all of the negatives. Most people tend to go all out for the holiday in all american gear, hats, nails, and so on. ButI remember when I was younger and we always wore t-shirts from Old Navy with our hair up in festive scrunchies. Now I just try my best to stray away from the ordinary.. aka neutrals.

For this holiday, I was a little basic in my picks. White shorts, navy and white tank, and a blue oversized sweater (thanks to my sister for this one).  PacSun is one of the few places that sells shorts in all kind of styles. I may be 22 but they're the only place that I can fit! And let's be honest, Bullhead knows what they're doing when it comes to a comfortable jean.

I definitely could have done patriotic better but we really didn't even do anything. My sister and I went out for a little bit but most of our day was spent on the couch eating and having a Chrisley Knows Best marathon with our mom. We had some friends over for drinks and listened to Selena Gomez's new song over and over, but that was about it for us this year.

It was fun nonetheless! Good friends are all you need.

Barely Out Of Tuesday

When I started this blog post, the day was going a lot different than it is as I am writing this now.  Things spun out of control in the blink of an eye.. but you can only control so much, whether it goes right or wrong. When I thought of how I wanted to title this post, I looked up song names with Tuesday in it. At first, I wasn't sure where I was going when I picked 'Barely Out Of Tuesday', but now that I'm sitting here, it seems to be a perfect fit. 

So here I am, barely out of Tuesday, trying to end the day on a positive note (or post).

Since it was my day off, I asked two of my friends to get coffee and do homework. I was long overdue for a visit at my favorite local coffee shop, Bean Bar, anyway.  

You guys might recognize this cardigan from my previous post, but only in a different color. My mom once told me, if you wear it everyday, buy another one. Ever since then, I have a horrible, horrible habit of buying things I absolutely love in every color. But this cardigan from Olive and Oak is everything you could possibly want in a cardigan; oversized, soft, chunky, and it came in the best color selection!

Anyway, I have been living in it, as well as these black skinnies ever since I got home from New York. I've been feeling inspired by the Lack of Color, and yes that is a Death Cab reference. If there is one thing that has kept my day on a positive note, it has been listening to Death Cab For Cutie's new album, Kintsugi, on npr. If you haven't listened, well, why not?!
