Channeling my inner Nicole Richie- I don't know why I instantly felt like this
would be something she would wear.
Decided to be a bit more daring (and funky) and wear this dress over a favorite pair
of old jeans of mine. Always liked dresses over jeans (obviously only when it works)- it's
just different and makes me feel unique. These jeans are from my high school days and I've kept them
because they've turned out to have such a cool wash after all these years and also 'cuz I haven't been
able to find a fit like these anymore. The ripped holes were a total unplanned DIY- my first day of my
senior year, I wore these jeans as my back-to-school outfit and I was so excited to show them off
to all my friends... except that excitement didn't last very long! I would catch the school (yellow) bus
every morning and for my first day back my mom dropped me off across the street instead of right in front of the bus stop. So as I got dropped off, I was crossing the street and somehow, my bag that had long straps got tangled with my feet and fell so embarrassingly (felt like it was in slow motion), sliding through almost half of the cross street landing on my knees (and scraping them) and having all my stuff/books fall all over the street. It was epic; not only was it the busiest time in the morning where everyone is going to work and school but all the people at the bus stop and red light witnessed such a terrible fall. As soon as I got myself together, all I could notice were my ripped jeans!!
I was so bummed, i thought " Oh, no! I just got these! It's my first day back at school and my jeans
are ripped!" It ended up working out in my favor, because everyone at school loved my jeans and
the ripped holes- everyone started ripping their jeans soon after.
Guess wasn't bad after all...
