Proper and Elegant, Edith Wharton Style
Hello my lovelies! You don't have to worry anymore because yes, I am still alive. Sort of. Maybe. I don't really know, but that is okay. Junior year is a butt-kicking kind of year, which is why I seemed to lack any ability to even try to post here. Now that the butt-kicking is finally over, I am back!
Today I am wearing an H&M dress, a Zara belt, Paolo shoes, H&M earrings, and my dad's jean jacket (on which I attached the faux fur). These earrings are my favorite earrings and I'm pretty sure you can see why. They are beautiful, fun, and the perfect accessory necessary to spruce up any outfit! I'm also really feeling this jacket. It's big and has too many pockets for it's own good (Which I of course LOVE).
I am currently reading The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton and it is such a wonderful book. It's full of proper and elegant scandal, perfect for an aspiring high-society woman like myself (if that makes any sense). But it is not the plot that entrances me so much. It is Edith Wharton's unbelievable eloquence. She creates a realistic, yet fantastic world all at once. The vulnerability each character experiences only leads to a more involved experience for the reader. Last summer I read The House of Mirth, also by Edith Wharton, which is about a woman's slow descent from high-society and eventual death. Again, her eloquence is incredible and I recommend it for anyone looking to improve their writing skills (and vocabulary) and for a good time.
'Til next time,

P.S. My opinion on Birkenstocks has not budged.
