Well, here we are. Brand new life stage, brand new glasses, brand new, harshly lit, backdrop. And what a backdrop it is. I didn't have to search for these teal(?) lockers. They are not a fun and funny allusion to awkward, middle school days of yore; they are a part of my everyday life. I use one of these lockers to store 1-4 very heavy law textbooks. That's right. Last year, I was paying into social security. This year I have a combination lock and am already behind on my reading.

Let's set the backpack aside for now and focus, for a moment, on the outfit in a vacuum. I would say it sort of matches or, doesn't clash? I purchased these jeans/jeggings at the height of the colored (non-blue) jeans trend but have no idea how to wear color, so I basically treat them like normal blue jeans. But guys, they're not normal blue jeans. They're too blue (the title of this post probably should have incorporated that pun, like 'true blue' but 'too blue', I'm honestly not sure. Please, if you're a punner let me know how one would pun with said phrase). It's something I will continue to work on. To this quasi-coordinated ensemble, I added a backpack, as I suppose I will every day for for the foreseeable future! Hooray! In purchasing said backpack, I felt like I was going with something relatively neutral, but navy with royal blue spots and white feathers has proven to make more of statement than anticipated. Luckily (and unsurprisingly), I wear it on my back which means I can't see how poorly it goes with most everything I wear... until I take these pictures of course... oh well.
