WEARING
Gingham Long Sleeve Billowy Pullover
Meet my most complimented piece of the season, the Gingham Long Sleeve Billowy Pullover by Who What Wear. This soft silhouette, in spring's trendiest pattern, is perfect for both work and play. Call me an outfit repeater, but I've worn this top to BLOOM by Westfield Annapolis, in a campaign for Neutrogena, out to brunch and even at the office.
READING
theSkimm
Monday though Friday, the Daily Skimm is sent to my inbox. It's a concise, easy to read version of the news that helps me stay up to date with what's happening in the world -- without having to read an entire article.
Oh, and the best part? It's targeted to female millennials.
WATCHING
F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
Whenever I'm waiting for a new season of Younger or The Bachelor/ette to air, I return to Friends reruns.
When I was younger, I thought Joey and Phoebe were the funniest people on TV. But now that I'm a bit older, I have to say that I resonate with Monica the most. We're both Type-A with workaholic tendencies, who like to play hostess when our friends come over.
Which Friends character are you like the most?
LISTENING
In Between by Kelsea Ballerini
I'm in that period of transition Kelsea Ballerini knows all too well, and even wrote about in her song called In Between. She sings:
In between just a flame and a ring / In between an apartment and a front porch swing / In between beer and basement and a Napa Valley vacation / In between hometown and a neon city / In between underestimated and overexpectated / Who I was and who I'm gonna be.
If you're a recent college grad like me trying to figure out what's next, turn up this song a little louder. It will speak to your soul, and remind you that you're right where you need to be, even if it feels like you're stuck in between.
