That's How it Starts

Details: Dress-ASOS, Bra-Urban Outfitters, Belt-Buffalo Exchange, Shoes-Doc Martens

Hello Interwebs! I can't believe that summer is almost over for me! It's finally starting to feel like the end; I have just over a week left at my job, band camp for the little high school kiddos has started up, it's hot as the seventh circle of Dante's Inferno outside...anyways, I digress. Not a whole lot to say about my outfit other than it's incredibly typical for me. I think I wear this dress more than anything else in my closet. However, I only recently realized that I could wear it backwards and make it into a (kinda) new dress! Since the front neckline is cut higher than the back, simply flipping it around gives more room to accessorize my décolletage (wow that sounds fancy). I just cut the tag off so it wouldn't pop up and make people think I'm a crazy lady who puts her clothes on backwards (even though they would be 100% right).

It took me a while to decide what my song should be today. I have an extensive summer playlist I've just been adding to all summer and it's kinda getting to the point where I want to post like 10 songs at once because I love them all so much, but I like trying to find ones that somewhat emulate the mood I'm feeling/wearing. I've always felt an emotional connection to the music I listen to- not in a cheesy "ah yes this reminds me of the time I did that thing and it makes me sad/happy/whatever" way, but in what is probably, upon further reflection, an even weirder way. Bear with me here, but whenever I hear a song, I imagine a little scene with it as if I were making a movie and deciding what part of the movie to put the song in.  So each song invokes some kind of emotion, but not necessarily an emotion that I can relate to personally. I don't know if this makes sense to anyone nor do I know why I am going on about it, but anyways, here is "all my friends" by LCD Soundsystem- an oldie but a goodie. I feel like this song, along with pretty much any song by LCD Soundsystem, belongs in some long montage that builds up to an important thing. It makes me hopeful and nostalgic at the same time, which is exactly how I'm feeling as the summer wraps up and I reflect on my first year of college as I head into my second. I also realize that is maybe the cheesiest thing I have ever put into writing and I now feel like I should say something actually insightful to even everything out, but I have nothing.

til the next time,
