It Takes a Bit More Than You

Hello! Today I bring you iPhone photos taken in front of the kinda dirty door to my apartment complex (there's like 6 units, I don't even know if we can call it a complex). I'm finally getting back into the swing of that school life. Today I missed the bus and had to fast walk up endless hills to get to my media studies class so that was good. Shin splints ensued. Anyways, here is my outfit from yesterday. It's a pretty busy outfit for me, meaning that I packed on a lot of my favorite things all at once (whereas today I'm just in boyfriend jeans, a baggy gray tee, and Birkenstocks looking like a true Berkeley student/possibly an actual male). I'm in love with this new bralette from free people though. I've really been into interesting layering techniques lately, and free people has a ton of awesome strappy bralettes right now that are only feeding my addiction.  There's also some subtle pattern mixing going on here with the polka dots on the dress and the plaid shirt (I say subtle because the polka dots are hardly noticeable on the slip. I usually really don't like polka dots so I probably wouldn't be as in love with this item as I am if they were super noticeable). I'm also not usually one for pattern mixing, but I'm slowly becoming more accustomed to it and welcoming it into my wardrobe. Gotta branch out sometimes, ya know? That's kinda been my motto in my life lately- that and just letting things happen as the universe intends, which is entirely new to me seeing as I'm a total control freak.

The song for today is "you" by the 1975. I've been obsessed with this song and with the 1975 for a while now, and while I've been listening to a lot of the 1975 in general lately, this song has been a definite go-to jam for me. I think it fits with my letting things happen vibe because it's a very relaxing song I feel, and the lyrics are pretty much about not letting people's flaws and past experiences get in the way of how you think of them. 



Anyways, I hope you are all having a lovely end of the summer, soak up that sun while you can!
