Plaid Shirt Days

It's funny how it really feels like fall when I break out the plaid flannel tops again. As people, we tend to symbolize so many things in our lives for certain events and seasons. Another example is the red Starbucks cup! Now that the red cups are back, it's feeling like the holidays suddenly. The smallest things can make the season feel just right. There are so many fall staples in this post - the plaid, the hat, red lipstick and the coffee, of course. I got these snap button ankle boots from Sole Society and I'm obsessed. The side detailing of the shoes from the buttons is adorable and this taupe color matches just about everything. And the best part? They add height without being uncomfortable, making it easy to walk on the cobblestone roads around my neighborhood.

This is my first fall as a real, out of school adult. It felt so strange not to buy new notebooks and more annoyingly, text books. I didn't have that week of trying to mentally prepare myself with my best friend (who was also my roommate) for the semester ahead. Instead, I'm graduated, living a day to day life with a job I enjoy and my boyfriend is my roommate in an apartment that's in a nice neighborhood. So, I guess I'm doing the whole "adulting" thing. Which, admittedly, isn't always easy but I don't think I would go back to a time before I had to pay bills or rent.

Just because it's hard doesn't mean it's also not the best time of my life! Being a student was fun and it was an incredible experience with the amount that I got to learn in such a short amount of time but now...now the opportunities are endless. Instead, it feels like the world is my classroom and I'm just trying to take in as much as I can. Even on slow, lazy, plaid shirt days - there's always a new lesson or new experience waiting. So, let's all enjoy this week! It's only Tuesday, even if Monday wasn't the best it's not too late to turn the week around.
