You know you have a cute outfit on when even your hard to please guy friend approves. I love this skirt. It is so different from any leather skirts I have seen; it isn't pleated or a circle skirt. The A-line shape is ultra-chic when it is upgraded by a thin panel of mesh just before the hem, exposing a sliver of skin and adding interest. I paired it with this shirt to keep the top half more modest, and I find the color and texture of this shirt to be a polished juxtaposition against black leather. With two standout items, I kept everything simple with a pair of flats and a single gold ring.

Hallow's Eve

My Halloween costume this year! I was a flapper completely of clothes and jewelry lying around the house. I find making or putting together a costume is a lot more fruitful than buying one, but if you are younger, always be a Disney Princess. I think I was Mulan three years in a row, but it wasn't store bought. I always wanted a store bought Ariel costume though. Ariel was my FAVORITE Disney princess. I loved to sing and she was an amazing singer, and I loved to swim and she was a mermaid! Plus I thought she had the best hair even though it was the same shade of ketchup. Any way I hope everyone had a fun Halloween! I just went out to dinner with a friend and stayed home to pass out candy and catch up on TV. Then I went to sleep at ten. It was a glorious night of rest. Thanksgiving is soon, then my birthday, and then Christmas! It is going to be super busy for me this holiday season, but I plan on squeezing in as many holiday activities as possible! Let the festivities begin!

Great Grains

Guys my mom made these. They are amazing. She should sell them. They are so good.  She didn't even use a recipe really, just made it up! I thought I would share because I have reverted back to a granola phase again. Thanks mom!

Sorry for the lack of well, conversation in the posts lately. School, volunteering, social events that come with this month are all keeping me occupied. Not to mention personal essays..yikes back to work! Better content to come!

Future

Well don't I look spiffy? This was my outfit to school today because I had an interview with the National Park Service for an internship today. Even though it was during school, I still wanted to put in an extra effort with my outfit so that they knew I was serious and ready to get down to business. Dressing for success is a real thing, people. More about the internship if I actually get it. I am so hopeful because it is something that I really want to do and seems like it would be a really nice experience. From previous posts, like the one titled Driftwood at Dusk back in September, it is obvious that  Environmental Science has really caught my interest. I want to be able to expand upon that through this position because being on the cusp of college, it would be helpful to sort out what I really want to do. English and the sciences have always been grappling for my attention, but writing and literature has usually won out until now. I would ideally love to mesh the two for ultimate intellectual satisfaction. I guess we will just have to wait and see what might be in store for me!
