CORRIDOR 121.1 //

12:51:00 PM
Today we are trying something new: I updating this blog whilst sitting on the Red Line train to Fanieul Hall (lol). 

I just went to the MFA for a field trip with my fashion class, and stared at art for only about an hour before everyone started getting tired out (honestly I'm sad about it because I could stay at the MFA legitimately all day and be okay). Despite this, I am feeling very much alive & very happy, which is understandable given the fact that I took my last 2 midterms yesterday and went to bed with a weight lifted off my shoulders. // 

My look today was very light, with flowy fabrics in pastel colors. The softness of this look really captures my mental state of being calm & content. Additionally, this look is comfortable, which is something I knew I would need traipsing through the city. I felt like a little fairy princess wandering through a forest of art ok //


 
WHERE TO SHOP THIS LOOK: 
white top- Ann Taylor Loft
kimono- H&M
pants- Marshall's 
boots- Kohl's (Chaps brand)
Necklace- Forever 21



PS: At the MFA, corridor 121.1 has hella nice lighting :)

Alice in Wonderland Inspired Outfit //

11:40:00 PM
It's safe to say that Alice in Wonderland has been one of my favorite stories since I was a little girl. Even now, it means so much to me. You see, this story is all about an average girl with a normal life; she wakes up every day and goes to sleep every night. Everything seems to be planned out for her, but she is a frequent daydreamer and thinks about literally everything (the most relatable thing to me). 
Her life is just like everyone else's until she changes it. Alice creates her own stories and her own world and her own life, and that's something that I always want to keep in mind. //

So, I decided that my OOTD would reflect one of my favorite characters. (I mean, why not?) This look features knee high socks, flats, a skirt and sweater, which is simple, yet is still cute and gives off a quirky vibe. // 






WHERE TO SHOP THIS LOOK: 
Sweater- American Eagle Outfitters
Button Down Top- Uniqlo
Skirt- My sister's Closet (originally purchased from Kohl's) 
Knee High Socks- Marshall's 
Flats- Payless 
Clock Pendant- Claire's
Hair Bow- Forever 21

New York City, 12:49 AM //

1:00:00 AM
i sit and stare out my apartment window, 
i see myself in the city below me
she's surrounded by;
filled with;
thousands of people
trying to see what she's really about. 
yet, 
none of them will ever be close enough 
to hear secrets whispered into their ears,
or to see her green eyes gleaming with wild truths of love and life.

that information is only spilled to her closest friends;
the ones who choose to amble down her bustling streets
who find adventure getting lost between tall buildings and small shops
and feel excitement underneath the bright lights of her skyscrapers
and atop the dark pavement of her hundred sidewalks

as i wander throughout her core, 
i am pushed to the side by so hands
so many hands,
all trying to reach something intangible, 
something so real that it doesn't even exist at all
i mean thats why we're all here, isn't it? 
to reach some far off goal, that we'll probably never even get to see.
we are all loners, 
looking to fit in and be someone. 
she's a city for dreamers. 

i feel her in my bloodstream
she crawls up through my body and up to my neck 
she suffocates me, 
drowns me, 
and kills me
my eyes grow wide with wonder
because despite her loneliness
she feels so alive
