Little Red Dress

Getting through the rest of summer like the dancing emoji

I really only had one goal this summer, and that was to feel carefree. I wanted the sun shining on my skin, the breeze blowing through my curls and most of all, a #girlgang to do all these carefree things with. A week from August, and so far, I can't say that that has been my experience.

"I'm feeling the responsibility of my twenties far more than the wildness of my twenties, which is not what TV led me to expect would be the case."

I spent most of the past couple of months continuing my job search, and thanks to some magic, I landed a gig at Bustle (see my articles here). I'm pretty darn excited about it, but it did not come without some anxiety. I'm feeling the responsibility of my twenties far more that the wildness of my twenties, which is not what TV led me to expect would be the case. 

But, with this small win under my belt and summer still hanging about, I can still make some wind-in-hair moments happen, starting with this dress. It makes me feel just like the dancing señorita emoji, and if that girl ain't carefree, I don't know what is.

Something about being in California brought out the "cool" in me. That sounds silly, I know, but I don't think I'd have the nerve to wear a tied tee and pencil midi skirt in the middle of October back home. Maybe it's the fact that Cali is perpetually 70 degrees and sunny.

Being the art nerd my guy is, he took me to the Getty Museum. It's a really stunning museum -- the gardens and architecture are amazing, and that's even before you get to the actual artwork.
