How’s Summer Going? β˜€οΈπŸ“š Fashion Faves and Reading My First Book From Princeton University Press!

Don’t mind the brown tarp behind my head in these outfit photos; it’s been put up to try to shade some of the sun from getting in the living room! I think it adds a visual flair, heh heh.

First off: I loved these two outfits I documented! πŸ’™πŸ’—πŸ’œ

Ring + Purse: Temu
Blue Skirt: SHEIN / Skirt Extender: Amazon / Shoes: Dolls Kill
Top: SHEIN
Skirt: SHEIN / Purse: Mercari

I finally picked out my first book from Princeton University Press this summer! I decided on How to Interpret the Constitution by Cass R. Sunstein.

Looking at the reviews printed on the back of the book when I received it, I noticed that most of the reviews were from people who went to prestigious law schools. Like, Yale, Stanford, HARVARD. Wait – what?!?!

I realized that the book is geared towards those studying constitutional law. Yikes!!!!!! Could ol’ fine-arts-degree-me handle a book this intellectually advanced? I was a bit nervous until I started reading it – then I couldn’t put it down! The author writes in such a way that is pretty easy to understand! I didn’t think I’d be able to keep up, honestly.

I come off as air-headed and a bit derpy when you talk to me in person, and it’s made me feel intellectually inferior for much of my life because it makes me seem kind of immature, I guess? (My written communication is SO MUCH better!). So the fact that I’m trying to learn about such a complex topic as the constitution makes me feel smart. And that makes me feel like a million bucks!!! It’s exactly the confidence boost I needed, but didn’t know I needed.

I did not expect this book to boost my confidence. NOT AT ALL. But it has! And, it’s such a great read that has me learning a lot. I will very likely buy another book in the future from Princeton University Press! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So, cheers to summer reading and feeling good about yourself! 😎 How has your summer been? πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

RIP Mikhail Gorbachev!

Just a short post in honor of Mikhail Gorbachev, a world leader I’ve always had a lot of respect for and admire for bridging the gap between U.S. and USSR relations during the Cold War era. I’ve always loved reading his writings and feel fortunate to own these books he wrote! πŸ’“ He will continue to inspire me. (I totally cried when they had an homage to him on World News Tonight with David Muir!)
