(The Calm Before The Storm) A Week of T-shirts & Freedom From The Internet Before Fashion Week

by Erin Flynn

Based on my title you might be led to believe that I’m going somewhere exotic, but lets be real I’m on an entrepreneurs budget and the most exotic place I can get to is a family vacation in North Carolina. Not that I am dissapointed by that for one second. The need for a vacation is something that I’ve been craving for over a year now. Since it is finally around the corner I couldn’t be more elated. For the first time in probably over two years this 20 something is going to take a one week break from posting on my blog. Crazy, right?

Now to anyone reading this, it’s likely that one week isn’t that big of a deal, but for a blogger one week is nothing short of a lifetime followed by a slight anxiety attack that she’ll lose everything she worked for. This means no posting, checking stats, tweeting, or pinterest-ing. In some ways it seems merely impossible since I haven’t take a break in over two years now, but I think it’s time to unwind, or should I say unplug?

In order to come back fully refreshed I’ve made the conscience decision that a week of minimalism is the best way to go including in what I wear! This meaning that I’m not dressing to impress anyone but the sand crabs and maybe the occasional dude in an american flag speedo…or not! Every 20 something fashionista (in my book) deserves a week of t-shirts and full on fashion laziness followed by a one week hiatus from the interwebs. This vacation couldn’t come at a better time since the following Monday I will be reporting live from the chaos that is New York Fashion Week. And don’t worry, I’m sure my photography during vaca will likely document the trip for posts to come after, but that doesn’t count. Right?
