Escapism

For many people, shopping is a form of therapy. It's definitely my preferred method of clearing my head, and though it's not always cheap, I end up not only finding some amazing pieces but it gives me time to think. I decided this morning that I was in definite need of clarity, so I left my house, looted up on coffee and a bagel from Dunkin Donuts, and headed to -- where else -- the mall.

First stop: Forever21

I got this less for the bunnies and more in hopes of my daddy maybe being able to replace it with something better.

Black earrings because I would like to start wearing more dangly earrings rather than just studs.

Dusty Blue nail polish

Neon yellow nail polish... I don't really mind if it comes out completely horrible because it only cost me $2.50

I really needed just a plain, black belt, so I'm happy to have found this one.

Charcoal colored leggings with an barely noticeable acid-like wash. They are so cozy that I put them on as soon as I got home.

Charcoal crew-neck sweatshirt shirt.

Knit tunic in heather gray, a bit oversized for max comfort.

Open cardigan in an orchid taupe color.

And now on to H&M

Woven brown leather and gold bracelet

Thin, brown leather belt (also needed!)

Faded black belt

Cream colored knit cardigan

$144 well spent, apologies all around, and two coffees later, I'm feeling much better about today.
