Stripe Me Away
How many ways can you really wear a hot pink skirt? I asked myself this question when I first purchased it---but I've found mine to be surprisingly versatile. Though the go-to option is to always pair it with a neutral and let the skirt be the life of the party, it can also be fun to mix it up a little. Case in point? Today I did a little ...

Today is my 29th birthday. It's an age that has always made me feel nervous because when you're younger, 30 tends to be the age you assess all of the expectations you had in your twenties and contemplate whether or not they were met.
