Change Your Shoes, Change Your Day

After going to bed at 2, I woke up a bit before 7 to study for exams and do a little work. Upon leaving for class, I slid on my favorite muted navy plaid flats and cracked the first smile of my morning despite not having a much-needed caffeine fix yet. Then a sudden life mantra hit me: Punchy patterns bring instant happiness.

Feeling blue? Wear madras. A little sleepy? Polka dots are the answer. Overwhelmed with life? Rugby stripes of course.











I can't think of a pattern that will solve my "studying for two exams when all I can think about is my summer in New York and when I google something about 'Iran Contra' the website for New York Magazine mysteriously appears" problem but I'll let you know what I come up with.

I have my AP calculus exam tomorrow morning and all I can think about is 1) I want to watch the episode of Gossip Girl that I missed and 2) I really just want to be in New York right now.

The pink polka dot ones in the middle managed to make me smile.
