first day on campus!
One of my goals in starting grad school was to dress nicely. I began caring about my hair and outfit choices when I started working in the Cru office, and wanted to continue to look presentable in my master’s program.
I thought it was necessary, as an “I’m a professional” and “this is a business move” type of decision, but it turns out plenty of my classmates still wear leggings and a t-shirt to class some days. I love having the freedom to not worry about my makeup when I need to head out the door quickly, or being able to cozy up in a sweatshirt on a test day, but I have been trying to care about my appearance most days.
I thought it would be fun to document my outfits since I now have a FULL-LENGTH mirror in this house, something I always thought would be nice to have in my old place but was too lazy to go out and buy. So anyways, not that I’m an inspiring fashionista or anything, but it’s always fun to see other people’s style choices, right?

at the art museum in Philly before classes started
i tried on this dress at the j.crew warehouse sale. i WISH it fit but it was a little too big (I had on clothes underneath and it was still a bit baggy)
kind of boho, kind of preppy
first day with my bike! i honestly have ridden it about 5 times due to it being in the shop, rain forever, being sick, and now just being lazy
i did buy this dress at the warehouse sale – $15! had been $200. dressing up for church
