I saw a quote by Steve Jobs recently that made me smile.

“When you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and you’re life is just to live your life inside the world . . . ” but the truth is ” . . . you can change it, you can influence it. Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.”

It wasn’t until college that I learned that just because you don’t fit in, doesn’t mean you have to live inside the life that you live. When I reached DePaul University in Chicago, I started to feel more and more comfortable in my own skin and in addition to changes in my personality, came changes in my wardrobe. This quote made me think about this outfit I put together for Old Navy this week. This adorable spring dress made me feel girlie and bright but I wanted to alter it slightly to fit my personality, so I added my own influence {a striped slip} to it.
