I am not going to lie. I have been sitting on this look for about two weeks now, and haven't been able to post it. In many ways I am a victim to my own mind. I over think things all the time, and then some how, some way, I end up becoming too intimidated to continue. To be honest, I've been considering stopping this blog. Not because I don't get a sense of fulfillment out of it (trust me, little things like comments and people trying my recipes really get me excited and basically make my day), but it's because I'm afraid to see it through. Perhaps I have a little bit of a defeatist attitude.
In high school, I joined the track team. I chose to do the sprints even though I absolutely hated running, but I was a fast runner so I thought why not? Well, a couple weeks later, I decided I didn't want to do it anymore and then defected to doing the shot put and discus (haha). A lot of it had to do with the fact that I did hate the intense amount of running was required to in the Sprinting Team, and another part had to do with the fact that my brother was already in the Throw Team, but most of it had to do with the fact that I never thought that I was good enough to keep running. For some reason, being a part of the Throw Team was less intimidating. I had stayed on the Sprint Team long enough to build some bonds with some of the girls, and boy were the upset when I left. For the rest of high school, they would tease me as "The Quitter." It was all in good fun that they teased me, but at the same time, it was very true. I quit. I'm trying really hard not to let that happen to this blog because I do get a lot of fulfillment out of it, and I see a lot of potential in what I have to offer, but I can't shake underlying fear of not being able to keep up.
For the most part, I am trying. I need to get over this hump. Just understand that it might take me a little bit to get back into the swing of things, okay? Your support totally matters!
Anyway, on to the look! I have two current obsessions: this skort and snapbacks. I actually have a small collection of snap backs, but I've mostly been obsessed with this one that I picked up from Love Culture several weeks ago. As for the skort, I wear it way too often (you may have seen it on my instagram at the lookbook.nu party) because its comfortable and ridiculously versatile. To make this look work, I wore the skort with a top that I actually have been "holding onto" for my friend when she left it at my place over a year ago. She's been over several times since then, but has never remembered to take it back, and quite honestly, I never even borrowed it or wore it before. I love that it's a super light fabric and it has a tie at the neckline which makes this look slightly sweeter with a touch of cheeky from the "omg" on my hat. Anyway, I'm sure that's more than you wanted to know about the look!
By the way, it's been ridiculously hot here in SoCal. Actually the weather has been super strange, hot, humid, windy, and rainy all in one day. I don't know how to cope. How's your weather?
