"One hand in the air for the big city"


I have this soft, blue and red, plaid, flannel, button-down (can I use any more adjectives?) shirt that I really love. I got it at Hollister a few weeks ago. It’s a large plaid pattern, the kind that makes me think of keeping warm by a fire, in a log cabin as it snows outside, having a conversation with someone special (that you may or may not be cuddling up to?)
I really want to wear that shirt But I’m afraid the magic of it will be taken away if I wear it in July. Plus it’s just too too.

I finished my internship on Friday. Dad was at Scout Camp with my bros so I commuted in on the T (the subway, for those not familiar with East coast public transportation). I actually like taking the T places, I’m such a “settings” person. The noise, the smell, even the crowdedness, it all adds to this “under the city” setting, and as I experience it all, my choice of music on my ipod shifts to R&B beats, and I wish I were in jeans and a hoodie instead of my work khakis and cardigan.
I think this is why I don’t necessarily have a “style” when it comes things like clothes. I just wear whatever fits my setting. It’s not that I want to blend in, per se, it’s that I need to experience the whole moment. There are people that live in that setting for most of their lives. I want to know what it feels like to be a part of that place, in that time. I need to understand it.

In other news, I need help! My skin has been pleasantly clear all through living in Utah and coming back home—up until two weeks ago. Suddenly I’ve broken out and can’t seem to figure out how to clear it up again.
Any good recs for skin care products?
