TRANSITIONING
(And just like Taylor Swift promised, we’re back to December.
In between classes extricating women’s gender from women’s arts, early morning exercise regimens preparing for summer, and eye-spying sartorial staples of Gucci horsebit loafers and Loewe Puzzle bags on this past Fashion Week’s street style circuit, year two of three-and-a-half at university is fast coming to a close.

I paused to take this photograph around 7PM in the early wake of 2015, blinked, and now we’re here.
If I could just blink these next assignments away, and continue from where I last left off…
