Halfway

Silhouette Girl style blog Philadelphia
Cardigan - Urban Outfitters, top - Anthropologie, necklace - thrift, cuff - antique, belt - vintage, skirt - Urban Outfitters, leggings - Forever 21, boots - Dr. Martens

Didn't take many photos today, so I didn't have many options. Kind of unsatisfied with my bored/tired facial expressions, but hey, what can we do! I desperately want to cut my hair, but I'm figuring I'll wait until spring since I've realized this little bit keeps me warm. Kind of. I just never feel like putting the effort into doing my hair.

I guess my infection isn't completely gone, since I've been ridiculously tired all this week. I'm trying to find activities to keep myself occupied so I won't fall asleep on the sofa... perhaps I'll do some laundry, make food, maybe invite someone over.

I've recently been thinking about being genuine, and how I almost feel like I've been putting on a front on my blog. I'm awkward. I'm sarcastic. I run my mouth, but other times I barely speak. I'm occasionally witty, and I laugh too much. I feel like none of this can really be conveyed through written words... besides my sarcasm. But even that, I think I've skimped on it sometimes. If I'm writing for just me, I will write whatever I please, but when I write knowing that there is some sort of audience, it ends up feeling forced. I can't get hung up on how others might perceive me. I just can't - I shall not allow it.

  6. Your outfit looks great - I really like your top!

    And I know what you mean about writing from your own voice. It's difficult for me too, so I just try to not think about it and just write however it comes to me...

  18. Love your outfit, love your blog. I think it's my first time here (although I could be mistaken...I'm a bit absent-minded sometimes, and it's seems like it's one of those days), and I'll definitely be back soon!

    I like your hair. I've thought of chopping mine off like that just for connivence sake, but I have thick hair and I'm not sure it would look right.

    Hope you're feeling better by now!
