Springtime in the City

I want to start this post by saying that I am so excited for Spring 2013 in New York.  I just feel like this is the time for new beginnings and exciting changes to take place.  I have some new friends that may be joining me in New York.  That excites me because not only are my friends going to be closer to me, but I love sharing my hometown with new people.  It brings me life!!

That being said the only thing that I do not look forward to...is the spring fashion.  And it's not just this season but its the season in general.  I just hate the idea of me having to show more of my body to the world...for them to see and judge.  It makes me uncomfortable.  I mean I don't mind wearing tight jeans and shirts to the club or bar, but lets be honest.  The lighting does wonders lol.  I think the scariest part is that I started to lose weight and get in better shape, and I want to put on those skimpy swimsuits and urban cut tank tops, but part of me will always be afraid.  Also...dressing for a warm city is a pain.  Like, no one likes flip flops with dirty feet...which is what will happen if you wear those in the city.  And jeans are a nightmare...they smell so bad.  And tops...wtf? Like do I wear a button down, or a polo? Is that too pretentious?  The whole process just stresses me out.  I wish I were someone who could just walk around and wear w.e. and be comfortable. Also this year's trends are SUPER AWESOME, but only look good on people who make a bajillion dollars a year and/or eat nothing but cocaine for breakfast #sigh

The price I pay for being chic :/
