Risk Taker

shirt: target ($3 pajamas section)  skirt: tjmaxx (similar)  headband: made myself  bracelets: target

The words risk taker, spontaneous and adventurous are words that are far from my personality vocabulary.  
I desire routine, consistency and predictability. 

I prefer things to stay the same, so much that even changing my hair color drastically is a big step.
 And I was extremely proud of myself for dying my hair dark. 
After this post, someone left me a comment that made me incredibly happy,
telling me that I had the hippie look going on. 
Dream. Come. True.


I've always wanted to rock a headband like a hippie but am too much of a wuss to try something out of my comfort zone.  Well here it is. 

Gosh.  Who knows what's next?
Maybe I'll even attempt pattern mixing. 

And apparently I think this is what hippies do.


Peace Out Friends!

    Guess what? I've managed to stay out of Target lately! (Work is funny in that it keeps you busy)
    But that outfit looks so comfy. You pull it off really well!

    I really, really enjoyed this post! I feel as though we could be long, lost sisters because I struggle with the same exact thing. "What will people think of me???" is almost the first thought that pops into my mind, and this drives my safe, comfortable routine-even in fashion. You look adorable, are rocking the hippie look, and as always-inspiring!

    Bold move for a non risk taker and you pull off the headband look effortlessly! I'm trying to be a little more adventurous too so I can def relate. Adorable look!
