Currently: August

Aug 24
2 min read

August has somehow been both a lot and not nearly long enough. We took a last-minute trip to Disney, I’ve spent as much time as possible enjoying what’s left of summer, and now I’m starting to think about going back to school and getting myself organized for September.


I’m still very much in summer mode. I don’t need a fall wardrobe yet. I don’t want boots. I’m not interested in being cozy. It is August, it is hot, and I would personally like to enjoy the last few weeks of not needing a jacket.


That said, I am getting the itch for a little reset. My routines are about to completely change, and I’m ready to feel slightly more put together than I have for most of the summer.


So right now I’m somewhere between summer and real life. Still trying to squeeze everything I can out of August, but also getting my work bag together, figuring out what I’m actually going to wear to school and buying a few things I probably don’t need.


Currently wearing:

Easy dresses, tanks, shorts, my New Balance 530s and anything else that requires very little thought. I’m starting to add a few things I can wear now and into September.


Currently buying:

Good jeans, lightweight layers, beauty products, things for the house and apparently a chili pepper bag charm that I do not need but very much want.


Currently doing:

Trying to get my house, work bag, meals and general existence in order before school starts. Nothing life changing, I just want September to feel a little easier.


Currently enjoying:

Summer. Because it is still summer.

Cold drinks, flowers, dinners out, weekends that still feel like weekends and not needing a jacket. There will be plenty of time for fall. I’m not rushing it.


Currently shopping:

A little bit of everything, apparently. I put everything I’m wearing, using, buying and loving right now into one place.
