I know this has been floating around the web quite a bit lately, but if you haven’t watched Meg Jay speaking at TED Talks yet, do yourself a favour and watch it now. 20-somethings these days do face a lot of peculiar obstacles/challenges that previous generations didn’t: we’re overeducated, underemployed, hyper-connected and in general, many of us think our “adult lives” are things will happen in the future, and rightfully so…whether we’re taking on yet another internship or headed back to school for a masters degree, it seems like that entry into adulthood is still so far off.
Having said that, this doesn’t mean that this decade has to be years that are spent just floating around, “discovering” ourselves. As much as it’s okay to not have everything figured out now (or even years from now), I really believe that you should still live every stage of your life with intention and with some sort of direction.
Jay’s talk has had some backlash for being “scolding” but I really disagree – I think it’s not only refreshing but necessary to have someone encourage myself and my fellow 20-somethings to not wait for life to begin once 30 rolls around.
So whatever age you are, give it a watch and let me know your thoughts in the comments!
I love that skirt on you! xo

Every time you wear this skirt, I get green with envy – love that you styled it with a slouchy sweater & flats here!

Firstly – you are just gorgeous! The 2nd photo is SO pretty!! Love the lip color on you! And I will definitely have to check out that ted talk… though the part about "waiting around for your 30's" is a little unnerving, as I am 31 and still feeling like "not quite an adult"! I wonder if we ever do? Maybe our parents didn't feel like adults either!
I just watched this video last night and I'm totally in that boat! Graduated from college two years ago, still haven't started my career and contemplating going to grad-school now, oh the joys of being in our 20's! I love your outfit though, especially the skirt!

Oh goodness, I know what you mean. I feel like my 20s are passing by and I'm not really making any progress in life. I mean, I'm okay with it, but I think I'll be a bit panicked once I hit 30. I'll definitely have to watch that TED talk!
Love that lip color on you – you really pull off a bright lip!
