Armor

 
My Tribe jacket (semi-repeat of THIS outfit from 2011, similar jacket), Von Vonni skirt via Ideeli (similar in various colors), Zara top (similar f21 in black), LOFT clutch (last worn here, here, here)

My last outfit post from chilly San Francisco. I wore mostly flat shoes and casual clothing for my trip but decided to dress up for fancy dinner during one of my last days there.
I love leather jackets in fall/winter weather...so much so that I might save up for when this (hopefully) goes on sale. This skirt is so long that me being 5'9" and in heels didn't stop it from slightly touching the ground...whenever I have time I'm going to have to tailor this.
----------------------------------------------------
Even though I've lived in NYC since July 1st (minus the brief trip back home and to SF), the reality that I'm here to stay for school still hasn't hit me. While there's so much excitement associated with these changes, there are also little moments of fear. Back in Austin, my family and friends have always been my safety net. This time, in this big city, it's just me. I felt tinges of jealousy when I saw other students moving in with the financial (and muscle) aid of their families...until I realized moments later that this was what I wanted. I wanted to challenge myself by moving far, far away. Also, I knew my parents were right in that they shouldn't have to pay for any part of my expenses now that I'm an adult.
As some of you may have noticed, I have been sharing a bit more personal details on this blog lately. I stopped doing so after my blog was featured by UT publications; I felt weird knowing that my professors and fellow classmates could easily find and read my blog. After hearing a few requests for me to document my transition to NYC, I decided to be more open again. I hope you like this new direction.
