Hey, my fearless readers! I hope you and your family are staying safe and prayed up. This year, I decided to really discover my personal style. It has changed a lot since I started college and now that I’m going into my last year, I wanted to have a more mature, yet fun style. I know we’re all stuck in quarantine, but I purposefully chose outfits that could also be worn around the house. I put links to some of the items under the photos (some of the exact product and some of similar items), so if you’re interested, look into that.

I found this blazer on ThredUp and I bought it with the intention of making it a dress, but after I tried it on, there was no way I was changing it. It has Neo from The Matrix vibes and really elevated this simple crop top and biker shorts combo.
I’ve been loving headbands lately and I recently got this one from Urban Outfitters. I don’t usually wear a lot of jewelry, so headbands really help to add a little dazzle to my outfits.
Lastly, I paired my trusty chunky white sneaks with this outfit because they go with everything.

2. I LOVE jumpsuits. It’s one piece of clothing, but somehow, wearing a jumpsuit makes you look so put together. This jumpsuit has certainly seen the world (I wore it all the way in Israel) and is super comfy!

These heels are some of my favorite shoes. I even have them showcased in my room. That’s how much I love them. They are the mullet of shoes—business in the front, party in the back. The open back really allows these shoes to be worn year-round without looking too “internship”. As a short girl, I really love the pointed toe because they make me look much taller. The block heel is really the star of this shoe though. Sometimes I want the height of a heel but the comfort of a sneaker and the block heel achieves that for me.

I again paired the oufit with a headband which was a gift from my Nanny. Especially during a time when hair salons are closed, headbands are a serious lifesaver.

3. Ok guys, mom jeans are back in! Sorry, I don’t make the rules. Another thrifted gem—these jeans are admittedly a little too big for me, but they are unbelievably comfortable. I love the high rise and you wouldn’t know because of how soft they are, but these jeans are 100% cotton. Recently, I’ve only been buying stiff denim jeans so that they last. The lower the percentage of cotton, the shorter the life of the jeans. Sustainability sis!

Invest in a good white tank if you can, because as you can see, it’s very versatile. Spring, especially, is the time to bring out the white tops!

These mules are a fave of mine. Mules aren’t always the most comfy, but these shoes have been with me for a while and I have no complaints. The gold detail on the front adds a little extra to the outfit.

Ok, yes, maybe I do have a headband problem. And what about it? This orange headband is adorable and I love wearing it to make my hair look cute without putting in much effort.

And last, but not least, BLAZERS!!! Blazers are a staple in my wardrobe. Throw this over any pair of pants and you automatically look like a fashionista.

4. Ok, I remember when I got these pants, my mom kind of looked at me like I was crazy, but these pants are wonderful. Not only are they super comfy and breathable, they kind of go with everything. Maybe not everything, but a lot more than you would think. I’m not a huge multi-color person, but the different colors in the flower detailing give me at least four colors to choose from for my top, while the overall navy color keeps it somewhat subdued.

This top is another staple. I wear it with jeans, under overalls, and with flowy pants. It’s one of those things that never goes out of style.

Funny enough, I got these shoes for a sorority event and thought I would never wear them again, but they are perfect for spring. Similar to the ASOS heels I mentioned earlier, these shoes are closed in the front but open in the back, making them really useful.

5. My favorite part about this outfit has to be the shoes. The reptilian look is very much in right now and I got these thrifted shoes for a steal! The chunky heel is so cute and makes them very easy to walk in.

These jeans are also thrifted and 100% cotton. If I’m honest, they’re probably my least comfortable pair of jeans, but they’re fashionable so I make it work. The things we do in the name of fashion!

My mom got me this sweater for Christmas and I always feel like an East Coast preppy queen in it. Its knitted design is subtle, but it makes the outfit more interesting to look at. Most of all, I love the color. Neutrals in the spring can be a really nice look if styled correctly, so don’t shy away from more subdued color schemes.

And of course, one more headband for the road. One day, you’ll see.

I hope some of these outfits provide you with some inspiration. This time at home can be dreary and if playing dress up would raise your spirits—by all means do it! I enjoyed putting these simple outfits together and I suggest you find something that makes you smile as well. I’m praying for you!

Now That My Frontal Lobe Has Developed....

I turned 25 years old this month, and it has been a journey getting here. Scientifically, your brain is supposed to be fully developed at 25, so I guess there is no longer an excuse for being a knucklehead anymore. But the truth is, I still feel 12 years old—unsure of myself, worried about making friends, and fighting off acne on my forehead. All of those challenges remain, except now I have a light bill to pay too.

fearless chronicles: take control of your social media

The other day I was hanging with a friend and their partner. We were discussing Tiktok and the type of content that pops up on our respective feeds. My friend’s partner commented that they wished they could see the type of content we see and sort of threw up their hands as if Tiktok had condemned them to the unfunny side of the app.

fearless chronicles: is therapy all it's cracked up to be?

As a self-proclaimed fearless woman, I thought for 2023, I could talk about the tools that have helped me become a better, more self-aware person. I should preface that I am not a perfect person and I do not strive to be. To me, becoming “THAT GIRL” as Tiktok likes to call any self-assured woman, is about finding peace in solitude, practicing mental and physical wellness, and building healthy relationships with others. It is not about reaching perfection or becoming someone without basic human emotions.

If You Have to Beg, It's Not For You

So, the other day I had a major breakthrough in therapy. I discovered that for most of my life, I have felt the intense need to prove myself to everyone around me. The more distant and disapproving someone was, the more I felt the need to win them over. So much so that I felt annoyed with people who loved me for me, no strings attached.

10 Shows/Movies That Ooze Summer

It’s summer, and it’s time to take that after-pool day shower (a top-tier human experience) and sit down to watch a binegable show. It can be hard to find shows that capture the season, but look no further because I have compiled a list of ten shows that express June-August perfectly!

Girl, Get Out of That Small Town

Just a few days ago, I finished my first year of law school. It took 15 hours of testing and many research and writing assignments to close the door on the first chapter of my legal career. I was and still am pretty wiped out. No one tells you how strange you will feel after finally achieving something you never thought would end, but yeah— it’s really weird. After your adrenaline has been pumping for two weeks straight, you feel a crash. There’s a moment when you realize that the academic validation didn’t feel as good as you imagined it would.

A New Year, A New You!

Hey, besties! Long time no post. Truth time: I have not been as consistent with posting as I planned before beginning this law school journey. Maybe you can relate? Was there something you planned to do this year and totally dropped the ball? Luckily for me and you, we can always make a fresh start, and not just because a new year is approaching. You can choose any day as your new year.

Life Update: Law School & ✨Adulthood ✨

Woah girlies it’s been more than a minute since we last spoke. I can’t believe it’s already October aka Spooky Season! Law school has a way of making time seem slow when you want to speed up and fast when you want to slow down. And the only reason I’m able to write this post is that I’m on fall break, and I knew I had to squeeze some time in to update you all on life as it is now.

Why Self-Love Seems Rebellious

I’ve watched Olympic gymnastics for as long as I can remember. I was named after Olympic gold medalist, Dominique Dawes. I bought books and watched documentaries about Gabby Douglas leading up to and after the 2012 Summer Olympics, hoping to understand more about the petite, but powerful young woman. And slightly related, I was obsessed with the ABC Family show, Make It or Break It, a tv drama about young gymnasts trying to accomplish their Olympic dreams. I say all this to say that when it’s time to watch the U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Team, I am all in.

When Being the Main Character Goes Wrong

Just a couple of scrolls through Instagram, Tiktok, or really any social media platform, you will run into a message about taking charge of your life and “being the main character”. This “main character” message has become so prevalent that just the other day, I saw back-to-back videos encouraging me to “stop being a side character in my own life”. At its core, there is a wholesome message of self love, but it's important not to warp the message into self-centeredness.

6 Ways to Incorporate Sustainability Into Your Summer

My sustainability journey really began in January 2020. I was watching a BestDressed YouTube video when she explained why she thrifts much of her clothing. It intrigued me that a majority of her fabulous collection was secondhand. I couldn’t believe that you could be so fashionable and environmentally ethical. This shock led me to research just how much of an impact fast fashion has on the environment. And I made the decision to only thrift my clothes for a whole year.

Choosing People Who Choose You

I swear I’m not trying to flex when I say this, but my heart is a little too big. By that I mean, it’s too open and available. All it takes is one positive interaction for me to care about someone and to invest in their feelings towards me. The problem with keeping a “For Rent” sign on your heart is that you remain in a constant state of instability and unease.
