It's Aimee, Bitch.

I realize that is is a supermassive buttheaded thing to just take a four month vacation from blogging and then ask you to remember why you might've liked me in the first place.  But as I sit here at my desk, currently an intern in NYC, I realize that I have a lot going for me.  Time to stop whining and find my voice again.  Writing to y'all helped me do that before, so I bet you can help me again.  You're just that cool.

I need to talk to you about something.  You know how everyone talks about how innately stylish New Yorkers are, and it seems kind of like hogwash because it's such a huge city and there are like a bajillion people there and the people who say such things are probably focusing on the elite?

Yeah well, they're actually right.  I've let my style take a major back seat the past few months, and though I'd like to think that I look respectable when I leave the house, these girls (and guys!) are making me feel totally boring with their casualwear alone, don't get me started on what they wear to work.  I want to keep up!  I want to compete!  But I'm more broke than ever before, and my paychecks are spent before I even get them.  So now you're going to get to watch me attempt to be as fabulous as the locals with the closet I already have and a budget of $0.  It's looking bleak, but I'm a tough girl. 
But besides the clothes, which you know I love, and will continue to love, I think it's time to explore what I originally planned to be the other side of this blog, the fact that I am curious to a fault (hello, philosophy major!) and like to explore topics that may not make you think "fashion" at the outset.  I'm a big fan of pop culture, which you might've gotten from my asides, and I have a lot of fun discussing the quirks of society that we're all so involved in.  No more reigning in my shiny toy mentality (at least, not so much as I was before). 

Also, one final note.  I allow this to blog to post on my facebook feed because it is a way to get my blog out to my peers and to my family.  If you really feel that it takes up too much space on your feed, or I annoy you anyway, HIDE MY FEED.  It's easy.  Clicky click the little grey x and you can "hide this post from Aimee" or "hide all posts from Aimee."  My goal is not to annoy you or be in your face all the time.  That being said, getting me out of your face is something you can quite easily do for yourself.  It's true that anyone can blog today and attempt inundate you with their opinions, but they're only as successful as you allow them to be. 

And until my next existential crisis, since they are always looming, this girl is back in the saddle.

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep." -Frost
