May 8, 2017 – Don’t Wear Green Hiking

Hey again!

Though I almost always look at the end of the weekend with sadness, I’ve begun to look at start of the week more positively. Why?

This blog, actually. I’m not really a preachy, advice-giving sort of a person, so I’m not going to go on too long here, but since I’ve started writing this blog, I find I actually look forward to getting to pick out my outfits for the week and photograph them for you to see. I’ve gotten such lovely feedback from people, in particular on Instagram, and I’d just like to say thanks. It makes getting through school and work a much more pleasant experience.

So blogging makes Mondays less painful, but let’s be honest – Mondays still kinda suck. This Monday in particular though, was actually kinda sweet.

Today was “Senior Shadow Day” – AKA Senior Skip Day. Unfortunately, as the Vice President of my class, I got left behind st school this morning so I could meet with the other class officers for a mandatory meeting about graduation speeches. No, it wasn’t fun, and I was a little bitter I didn’t get to miss the whole day, but it’s kinda hard to complain when you still get to leave at 11:30.

So once my graduation speech work was done, I headed out with three of my good friends for lunch and then hiking at some trails near a local university.

And what does one wear hiking? Not green, I can tell you that! Unfortunately, I didn’t really think things through when I picked out my outfit for today, as I failed to realize that wearing a green vest with a grey shirt would make me rather blend in to the trees and rocks around me. Regardless, even if my photos weren’t the greatest I’ve ever taken, I was very comfortable!

Here’s some pictures from our adventures today:

I love hiking, but this trail definitely wore me out at the end. It wasn’t long, but it was super steep, making it so I was panting and out of breath by the time we got to the car. Still beat going to school though!
