Stripes and Sunshine Make Things Better


hat: h&m
jacket: american eagle (similar here)
dress: h&m
leggings: american apparel (here)
shoes: converse (here)




The sun has been shining lately, and what a joy that is. Sunshine always makes things better, no matter how terribly bad those things are. It has a way of lifting one's spirits, you know. There's something about those rays on some vitamin D-deficient skin that does a body good. And my body needs all the good it can get right now.
