Unfortunately I cannot afford the UNIF Frost sweater ($88) but I did find this pastel turtleneck knit at a thrift store for $5.99. It happens to be Liz Claiborne and extremely soft and comfy. I plan to be more consistent with thrift related posts this year, stay tuned!

Art, NJROTC & psychology classes the people in those classes were genuine and bold, they broke me out of my shell. Being bullied, lied on, and being sexually harassed everyday.

“How has art saved you?”

Art saved me by giving me a voice/outlet to release the thing heavily on my mind and on other days, allowing me time to get away from thinking.

Naïve, full of imagination & breaking the glass type of dreams.
