Thrift shopping has become one of my favorite pastimes over the past year for many reasons. I love the sustainability aspect of it and knowing that I’m helping the environment. But even more, I enjoy the thrill and challenge of giving new life to another person’s “trash.” This black ribbed mini dress is one of my recent and most favorite finds and I struggle to understand why anybody would get rid of it.

After a hectic finals week, I flew back to Los Angeles for the weekend to visit family and attend my friends’ wedding. As usual, it’s nice to be back in what I like to refer to as my natural habitat. As you can see, it didn’t take long before I was back in my usual uniform. What can I say? I’ll never cease to be a SoCal girl at heart and there’s no better outfit than this Everlane poplin shirt and shorts for warm sunny days in my opinion.
I chopped my hair off a few weeks ago, but this is the first time my new do makes its debut on the blog. After years of growing out my hair, it took quite the courage to get rid of so many inches. I’m glad I did, though, because I love the new style and it is so much easier to manage.
One of the best parts about being back in Los Angeles is getting to hang out with my sisters. They’ve always been such a huge part of this blog, but rarely ever make an appearance. That’s why I thought that, for a change, I’d showcase my sister Sarah’s enviable street style. We each have a very distinct sense of style, but I can’t help but to admire how cool she looks all the time.
I haven’t been very good about posting on this blog in the past few weeks, or participating in the blog community in any way. I wish I could say that I’ve been on some grand adventure, but really I’ve just been trying to get enough sleep. Grad school, work and just trying to make time for a normal social life. There’s so much to say about adjusting to life in a new place, but I’ll save that for another blog post when I have time to sit down and reflect. As always, thanks for visiting!
