I'm gonna pop some tags

Even before Macklemore made it cool, I really enjoyed thrift store shopping. I have special methods of shifting through what would fit and what my grandma would wear. When I use my techniques, I always walk out of Goodwill with some treasures. Recently, I wore my J.Crew wool sweater that I got for only two dollars with my Patagonia ski vest I got for ten. At these prices, I am always ready for the snow. 

polka dot pants

My first half marathon is almost five weeks away. My nerves are heightened everyday I train but my love for running is increasing more and more. One of the many benefits of training for a half is the weight I've lost. However, I didn't notice till a friend had to have an intervention with me about my pants. All pants have become too bagging that my friend said it's embarrassing. Although it was a surprise to me, I found it as an opportunity to buy new pants. I adore the latest trend of patterned pants and luckily I found these polka dot pants on sale. They're not too big or too small but fit just right. 

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.
