Embrace it

 I've been called a hipster a lot lately. Whether it's my new glasses or the way I dress differently, the word is thrown at me daily. Instead of brushing off the stereotype, like most hipsters do, I've started to embrace it. Going beyond the normal flannels, I have come to love layering. When finding the perfect sweater to layer with a collared button up, I will admit I do look like a typical hipster - which I'm okay with!

Street Art

One of my favorite parts about living in the city is finding cool art that just cannot be found in a suburb. A couple weeks ago, my friends and I went to the Denver Mint when we run into these tall structures covered in bold shapes. I instantly loved it! They also matched my blue pants very well. It's the small thing in the midst of Denver that I've come to love the most.

Cold air, Don't care

It may be below forty and winds up to 15 mph but somehow I'm still wearing a skirt. While walking to class, other students will ask if I'm cold. Honestly, I'm not. With a long cardigan and boots, there is no weather conditions I can't handle with a skirt on. 

Comfy Clothes

As a child I was not permitted to wear jeans. It was my father's rule and it was law for most of my life. A lot of people find this strange but it was the only thing I knew. My dad preferred my sisters and I to be in dresses and skirts and now as an adult that uniform is what I feel most comfortable in. For the days I lay around the house with my wonderful roommates I will be found wearing my new favorite skirt. 

I get by with a little help from my friends

It's been really cold in Colorado this past week. Not just normal type of Colorado cold but actually cold. I went from sixty degrees in Arizona to three. Luckily,  I have very talented friends. For Christmas, my best friend made me the most beautiful lavender scarf  which pairs well with a headband my other best friend got me for my birthday. It's small gestures from great friends that get me through these winter nights.
