Life isn't Black and White

Hey guys! Last night was horrible in terms of homework and I slept really little, but looking pulled together made me feel better during the day. I really believe in an outfit's power to lift your spirits and boost your confidence. Whether its a trendy new item or a well-loved classic, a great look always makes you feel comfortable and, in my personal experience, more energetic. When I dress in loose, casual clothing and wear my glasses it feels like I just rolled out of bed.

Anyways...with this outfit I really dressed against the weather. Waking up after 5 hours of on and off sleep to completely depressing weather usually makes want to curl up and die, but I forced myself out of bed and wore sequins. I like how sequins have become pretty mainstream for daywear and casualwear in the past year or so. I can actually wear this to school and get compliments that don't start in "WOAH, your shirt...." I've had these shorts forever and I love that they're a little more dressy than my denim or cargo-style shorts. Seeing as there is currently 62% humidity, tight or long clothing was not an option.

Seqiuns! This shirt is a good example of taking a trend and making it more wearable.
