Hello my darlings! Man has this fall flown by so quickly! I can’t believe it is already Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday) and November is almost gone. Graduate school definitely has me losing time. Maybe one day I’ll get better at keeping everything on track…new blog series?

Anyways, today we are going to talk about a taboo topic…money. I know, I know, who wants to talk about that? But I think this is important to talk about and I promise to keep it short!

You probably haven’t noticed this year since I’ve been so MIA and sporadic, but normally I don’t buy a lot of new clothes and accessories. And sure, some of that is because I’m busy at school or work or whatever, but a lot of it is because I have anxiety around spending money, which makes it really hard to pay for anything other than the necessities.

Despite that, sometimes, it is important to reward yourself and give yourself a little treat. So, after a hard semester and with the help of my mom and my best friend, Kate, I worked up the nerve to buy this absolutely fabulous Kate Spade bag that you will be seeing A LOT of because I’m so obsessed.

So what’s my secret? Remembering that you can’t take money with you so you might as well enjoy it and surrounding myself with people who I love and trust who help me work through my anxieties.

XO, T
