I admit it, I’m scared. I’m scared of what happens after school. I’m scared of what real life will bring. I’m scared of failure but also of success. I’m scared I won’t become the person I want to be or that I’ll become more than I thought I ever could. I’m scared I might become everything I want and more. Yes, this all sounds very cliche, but sometimes I feel crippled by it. Sometimes I don’t want to talk about my future, my present, my career. And sometimes I’m ashamed of that. Why can’t I be more of a go-getter? I can’t wait around for things to come to me and I know that; I suppose it needs to get through my head more. You know how you can hear things but not understand them? It seems like a lot of that is going on in my life right now.
So ultimately, the person who could get in the way of my success is me. And that’s something I can’t let happen, regardless of how I’m going to get over myself and be more of the tiger I can be when fought with. On that note, here’s an outfit to give you some time to digest all that. Fashion can be a nice break from the stresses of “real” life purely because of the surface beauty of it all. Enjoy.
shirt: Forever 21 (similar) | jeans: J Brand | beanie: Aritzia (similar) | coat: WendyBox (similar) | clutch: vintage (similar) | sunglasses: Ray Ban | jewelry: So Pretty Jewelry, BCP Jewelry, Tiffany & Co., vintage (seen here)
I just noticed the bird sh t on the wall behind me. Lovely. Adds something extra, don’t you think? Enjoy the beginning of your week!
First off I absolutely love this outfit and it caught my eye on the Lucky Community amongst all others. Secondly, I love your honesty with the post and it’s apart of being young I guess because I just Graduated and I am SO scared about what life holds for me.
Now following you on Twitter and Facebook.

Love the whole outfit!
thank you!!
I looove that shirt! and dont be scared boo! I know you’re gonna go far in life and accomplish amazing things and I really mean that.
Nice outfit! I’m almost 4 years out of college and I gave up any chances of a career for my husband to pursue his (he was more focused anyway). I still get scared of life but as you said, the only person that can stop your progress is yourself. Continue with confidence. Continue knowing that life is what you make it 🙂
Thanks for the advice lovely! It is scary, but I guess that’s part of growing up! I appreciate your comment!
