In relation to my post last weekend about feeling like a real New Yorker, there are few things I love more. I love (and hate) when people ask me for directions. It flatters me that I look like I fit into this enormous city that was once such a culture shock to me.
I remember the first time I came to New York when I was in 10th grade. I had fallen in love with the city through the gossip girl books. (Lol) I remember seeing actual New Yorkers and knowing that I stuck out like a sore thumb in my fleece and uggs. And I wanted so badly to feel like I belonged.
I remember that time so clearly. Now, six years later (holy sh*t) I've slowly developed my own personal style and I've really grown up.
I know style isn't everything, but I truly enjoy reading about fashion and taking the time to come up with my outfits and put together new looks. I love showing people new brands or looks I've found. I love looking for the perfect item for weeks until I finally find the perfect brand with the perfect fit for the perfect price.
If I don't end up staying in New York, I'm glad it's given me this time to grow and to learn and to be exposed to something I've ended up loving so much.
