donts:
1. sweatshirts are the most UNFLATTERING article of clothing a woman can ever wear. they should not be a staple article, but something you wear once or twice.
2. the sweatshirt is closely followed by a pair of overalls. those only look good if you're ages 0-10.
3. please do not wear leggings as pants. we can see your skivvies you hussy.
4. uggs with a jean mini skirt is the ultimate sign you're a bro-hoe. don't do it.
5. anything that slightly resembles a cape may only be worn on halloween.
6. we don't want to see your bra straps. they invented the strapless bra for a reason.
dos:
1. put feathers in your hair with clips and headbands.
2. try out some brighter colors. i mean, it is spring. a wardrobe that's all black says, "hello. i'm boring."
3. florals florals florals.
4. try some clothing with open or crocheted backs or asymmetry. one-shouldered pieces are fierce these days.
5. not everything has to match. try one outfit where nothing matches, but it goes. get it?
6. scarves are so in for the summer so don't pack them away with your winter peacoat just yet....

summer
i don't know what it is about summer that makes it so intoxicating. i could be all the country songs about it, but i have a couple more ideas:
1. the anticipation. we strive all year to get through classes, tough social situations, work, drama, and constant stress, so we anticipate the freedom of summer. the freedom to travel, to laugh, to breathe a little deeper. after a week of finals, all of us are begging for a little R&R.
2. the romance. whether it's literature, music, or movies, there's something about summer that just begs the heart to leap into a summer romance. one that sends you on picnics in the sunshine, trips to the lake, or cool nights watching the stars.
3. the possibility. we can try a fun job, travel the world, go on a missions trip, spend time with family and friends, or just bum out on the couch watching tv, playing video games, and eating junk food. we can honestly choose to do whatever we please.
4. a change of scenery. we, as humans, love change. those people who say they hate change, they're either lying or they're robots. humans are programmed with a need to change it up every once in a while. why do you think makeover shows are so popular? by the beginning of fall, we will begin begging yet again for a change of scenery.
summer is in the air and everyone here is dying to jump headfirst into its sweet bliss. "it's a smile, it's a kiss, it's a sip of wine, it's summertime.... sweet summertime..."
