Hey guys. Sorry for dropping off the face of the earth for a few days. I had the football game that refused to end, recovering from said football game, and then doing homework that I didn't do earlier because of football. But no more football until Saturday, so we're good.
The picture on the left is what I wore on Monday. Except then I had to change because despite it being in the 90s on Saturday, it didn't get above 70 yesterday. So it is apparently now fall on campus. Earlier, I wondered why I had added jeans to my list; it didn't seem like it would ever cool down. Now I'm wishing I had more jeans. Oh, well. Who knows, maybe it will magically decide to become summer again. And there are only 14 days left in the challenge.
Today I'm wearing skinny jeans, blue top with white cami, white cardigan, and metallic sandals (not pictured). I tried something different with my hair today. I french braided the front half and then pulled it back into a ponytail. I like it. It may be happening more often. Maybe people will be distracted by the fact that I am wearing my cardigan half way buttoned up and did my hair differently so they won't notice that I'm wearing the same clothes all the time. But it hasn't really felt like I've been doing that.
Over the past couple weeks, I've really been trying to simplify my life. I'm also trying to find a better balance. I'm trying to convince myself that I do not need to be an overachiever or a perfectionist and I've given myself permission to get a B in one of my classes this fall (something that has only happened once, freshman year of college). I'm trying to do well on my homework, but not stress about it. I'm putting off homework to make time for more important things, like friends and hanging out. Simplifying my wardrobe and worry less about the clothes I'm wearing is just one more way that I'm trying to add to that. In a society that tells us that more is always better, I'm trying to convince myself that less is more. It's a slow process that involves many steps backwards for each step forward, but I believe it will make for a happier me in the end.
