Turtle

 I remember when I was younger, my mom would make me wear turtle necks and I thought they were the ugliest things ever. Now, I love them! Even though I feel like my neck is suffocating, it keeps it nice and warm.

A Little Blue

 Today was the first day of the fall semester and o m g was it hot hot hot. I was contemplating wearing black (like usual), but I am so glad I did not cause I probably would have drowned in my own sweat. Instead, I went with wearing this light top from Greylin, based in LA, and paired it with brown. I added a bit of color with this Capwell+Co necklace and I felt fine during the day!
