FRESH

Goooood morning everybody! Happy Monday! I hope it's treating you well.

This is my outfit from yesterday afternoon. I had a slow start and a lazy morning, impacted by the fact that I accidentally stayed up until 2 am goofing off with my housemates. This was really just one of those days that took forever to get started. It was beautiful outside, but I was feeling sort of trapped by work and anxiety. I did have plans for the early evening to go to a production of Heathers: the Musical (which, by the way, was amazing), though, so I decided that getting dressed was the best way to get me out of my funk.

Side note: For me, getting dressed is almost always the best way to get out of a funk. Unless, of course, I'm in a style rut, in which case it sort of adds fuel to the fire. 

Anyway, spending the time to get dressed and then playing around with flowers and props and backdrops and stuff made me feel significantly better. And though these photos elicited a call from my mom asking if I was doing okay and eating enough (I am), I'm really happy with these images because it was really empowering to turn my living room into a very make-shift photo area.

Last thing: music is a really integral part of how I get dressed and experience my day, so I've decided that I'm going to include links to songs that I was listening to while getting dressed that made me feel really good. This time around it's "I Can't Stand It" by The Velvet Underground. Enjoy!
