Wild

Tuesday night I headed to a Spitfire event hosted by BostonGLOW. The event was focused on navigating the professional world, and I found it really helpful! I know that there are a lot of things I need to work on professionally to build up my confidence and make sure I'm not selling myself short. 

I absolutely love the Spitfire events. They're a great way to connect with other women, and to talk about issues that are important to me. Being involved with GLOW gives me the same sense of a strong community of women that I had through the various clubs and activities I was involved in in college. I'm taking on a little more of a leadership role in the organization this year. One of the potential Spitfires we're planning is going to be focused on balancing fashion, beauty, and being feminine with feminist/ egalitarian ideals. It would be great to get some Boston area bloggers involved, so I'll keep you posted!


I've worn this necklace about a dozen times since I bought it at the beginning of the month. The colors match a lot of my summer clothes and it is the perfect piece to spice up neutral outfits. I picked up this leopard print tank at goodwill a few weeks ago. It's super 80s, and about an inch away from being a crop top, but I love it! 


Outfit:
Tank: thrifted
Cardigan: Old Navy
Necklace: H&M
Pants: Target

  12. You sound like you're involved with so many cool groups in your area! This sounds like a pretty special event and I love your sassy and stylish look for it, the leopard print and the blue pants work SO well together! (And that H&M necklace is such a cool accessory, you are really getting your money's worth out of it.)

  13. Okay, I'll give this comment one last chance to post!
    I think blue and leopard print were just made to go together, the leopard really stands out against the blue pants. (And you are really your moneys worth out of that fantastic necklace!)
