In fashion magazines, they’re always gushing about It Girls who master “high low” dressing because they wear H&M with Prada or Uniqlo with Chanel. Well, I’m not an It Girl, I’m just a That Girl, so I’m more of a “low medium” dresser. On any given day I’m probably wearing something from Target and something from Ann Taylor. Ten years ago, I was just a “low lower” dresser. Livin’ the dream here, people.

But look, my photos are still all over the Internet, so take that, Gigi Hadid. (P.S. Totally just Googled “it girls” because I couldn’t think of one, and immediately regretted it because I barely recognized any of the names, and they’re all infants. Are you ready to feel old? This is Ewan McGregor’s daughter. Yes, DAUGHTER.)

Don’t you love it when you find something in your closet that you forgot you had? That’s what happened today with this necklace. It was hiding behind some big chunky things, poor little guy. I don’t even remember where I got it, but I like that it’s simple, yet still makes a statement. What kind of statement? I’m not exactly sure. Probably something like, “Hello. I am a necklace.” I don’t think jewelry is especially eloquent.

Anyway, about this little dress. As far as I can tell, it is a dress…which someone younger and with nicer legs might wear on its own. But I – being a professional student in my late twenties who hasn’t worked out in a while – always wear something under and/or over it.  In the summer, I’ve worn it with a crew neck t-shirt underneath, but for October this leggings and cardigan combo is working out quite nicely.
