Time Away

You don't really realize how much you miss your family until you're away for some time and you go and visit. My Dad always says it's just a part of growing up, but if you ask me that part kind of sucks. I've been having a great time the last couple of days visiting my Dad. I even got to see my Mom and little brother on the way up here! I love being able to get away from the city for a bit and just relax and clear my head. The views out here are seriously unbelievable...if only it was right down the road from me.

Beyond City Limits

I snapped these photos just before sunset, which is one of my favorite times of the day. I love the light glow of the sun and just unwinding from the day. The dogs and I just spent a little bit of time exploring the tall grass. 

This sweater is without a doubt a staple for me for the upcoming colder months. I have been wearing it so much, despite the still warm weather...it's just too cozy to take off! I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot more of it on here!

See Through

Most of the time you can catch me wearing something very tomboy or casual, mostly because that's who I was and what I wore growing up. I've had rough times in the past dealing with rude comments from others and even a stranger, when I was in the 5th grade, asked if I was a boy or a girl. That day has stuck with me forever. Why is it that there are those people assume that girls should be dressed in heels and a dress, curled hair, perfect makeup just to be the stereotypical/ideal "girl". Well I think it's bullshit. And I am happy to know that today I can say I feel just as beautiful in a menswear blazer, jeans, and tee as much as I do in this sheer, lace maxi.

So ladies...WEAR WHAT YOU WANT!
