How I wore it first:
Take Only What You Need from It

Not so long ago, I would never have worn boots with cropped pants. Then Sally expanded my cankle worldview, and I discovered this combination. It's still not my absolute favorite, but I like the old-school aviatrix vibe that this outfit has. After doing some Christmas shopping after work, I ran into an old friend, and we grabbed coffee together. It was surreal, and nice, and bizarre. It put into perspective all that has happened in the past few years, and all that is sure to happen in the next few. I realized today that this decade is almost over. It made me take stock of the past 10 years, and understand that all the punches that I feel like I've been hit with in the past few months will seem like tiny blips in 10 more years. It doesn't always make those moments easier while they happen, but it's nice to put it in perspective sometimes.
