I've been thinking (a collective "uh oh" is usually appropriate after I utter those words). I've been thinking about this blog and how I want it to reflect the person I am. In a lot of ways it's pretty vague - I post some outfits and tell you a little bit about my life and sometimes send some musings your way but I don't go too deep. This is on partially purpose - I'm wary of posting too much about myself online. However, I think that even if I wasn't cautious and felt as though I could share as much as I wanted to with the world - I wouldn't know exactly what to share. That's not to say I don't have a lot of stuff to say - because I do! Too much, some people might say. It's just lately (or since I started university - so the last three years) I have a hard time to committing myself to beliefs or a line or thought. That is, there's so many good ideas out there - there's so many opinions, beliefs, theories, strategies, you name it - that are good! Who am I to dismiss or embrace or take up any one of these ideas when they're all equally viable. In high school I was pretty sure of myself - I thought all of my ideas were great ideas and had no trouble sharing them with EVERYONE. I know what it's like to do that and look back a little while later and realize you were just completely off base. I don't want to write how I feel about something at the moment down because once it's on my blog it gains a little bit of permanence. So when it comes to blogger issues, or style theories as well as political or philosphical issues - I have my opinions, most of which I believe to be pretty accurate - I'm just too intimidated to commit permanently to any of them. Thats not to say I won't discuss ideas with people or commit to sides of an argument - I'm just not at a point where I could write a book of my world views. Or blog about them. I'm not sure that I will ever be. Have any of you faced a similar dilemma?

Anyway, on to my outfit! :p I cannot believe I have not done any outfit photos of this vintage grunge era Express romper yet. It's been one of my most highly rotated summer staples thus far. It's lightweight and breezy but it's not a dress (despite looking like one), it's a romper! So fun. I'll be sad to tuck it away for the winter but at least I can probably wear it into Fall a little bit.

Note the fact that I'm wearing two different sets of shoes in this shoot. The photos were taken all throughout the day and at some point I changed into sandals because I thought I might get a pedicure. I only went for the manicure - blue nails! I'm feeling Fall already. Ah geez.

Okay guys I'm only gonna remind you one (or two) more times to enter my giveaway!

See you guys soon!

  1. Love the romper and your bag, it's fabulous! I know what you mean about committing to something. But it's your blog and if you commit to an idea, it's okay to change it! We all change views throughout time, ya know?

  2. Great romper! I know exactly what you are talking about with knowing how much and what to share about your life. It really is difficult to strike a balance between being yourself, and exposing yourself. I know when I go to post something whether it makes me uncomfortable. You don't have to make a specific set of rules for what you will and wont post. I feel like you will know where the lines are when you get to them.
