One more semester

I've been MIA for a while but I figure why not start this back up and instead of using it as. a diary for my time in NYC, use it as a way to share my life up until post-grad and navigating my life entering the fashion world and so forth. I want to start off by saying that it took a lot of adjusting to move back to my small (geographically not population) college town and go back to how I was after spending multiple months working a galavanting around New York City doing something new everyday. I'm also going to put myself out there and say that I may not be soaking up senior year as much as I should be because I'm so focused on the next step (advice I was explicitly told NOT to do)....

So now I can proudly say I've accomplished my end goal at UA, which was getting my red cap (4.0) and now I want to spend this last semester balancing enjoying my last few months of college freedom while also sharing how I've navigating and still trying to learn and immerse myself in all things fashion. I also may lean a little cliche and dive a little (more so rant and dump) about life as a 20 something girl figuring her life out so bare with me here for a while. Needless to say besides a "hello again," I also would like to list some platforms I've been loving, things I've been doing, media I've been consuming since the last time we spoke.

• Getting back to my love of reading (go to your local library!!!!)

• Using and being a creator on ShopMy (shameless plug)

• @ladydianamay on TikTok she's my favorite creator her style is impeccable and she is the epitome of class (and a great gift giver)

• Just started listening to the Hot Smart Rich and The Psychology of your 20's podcasts

• Scouring my local and online second hand designer stores

• DOWNSIZING and getting rid of a lot of clothing (shameless Depop plug)

• Working my remote job in social media management, my student research assistant job, and job hunting for a local job at school because you can never have enough experience right?

• Learning to cook actual meals

• Trying to wear actual outfits more instead of athleisure

• Wrapping up my Presidency for NRFSA (I LOVE MY GIRLS)

Anyway that's all for now but I'll be back again soon.

xoxo,
