I’ve chosen to post this outfit today because it is less than glamorous and that’s how I am feeling right now. Also, I happen to be wearing the hat that represents a strong, proud place. I actually snapped these pictures over the weekend, but they are eerily perfect for the somber mood.
Most of you who have been following me for the last 3 and a half years know that I am from Boston. Though I live in L.A. my family and my friends all still reside there and I travel there often. In fact if you read my posts the last few weeks you know I actually just got back from spending time there for my brother’s wedding. That being said, when the news came out that the city had been attacked I went into panic. I spent hours contacting people making sure all my loved ones were ok. (They are)
I spent the rest of the day glued to the tv waiting to find out as many answers as possible. While I feel the police are doing an amazing job, the images of people with blown off limbs will haunt me forever. I am saddened, angered, confused and just overall feeling violated. That is my city.
Watching people go about business as usual with outfit posts and instagrams full of Coachella pictures has been hard. I believe we have to move on but we also need to take a moment to recognize that people are still fighting for their lives and posting about the weekend at Coachella getting drunk is a tad bit disrespectful in my opinion.
That was yesterday.
Today I am posting this outfit bc F*** you to the person who did this. My thoughts are still back home with all those affected, but in honor of you I will not let this person win. I will move forward as I know all Bostonians will. We will never forget, but they picked the wrong city.
Onto other things. YMI jeans sent this pair of skinnies over and they are so comfy I couldn’t wait to wear them. I through them on to run errands and this is the relaxed outfit that resulted. The skull bracelet below was from my Lucky Fabb bag and is currently in heavy rotation. Loving the blinged out skulls.
