A Week in the Life of Roma

Statement socks, including tights, leggings, and thigh highs as well, have been trending. And not only did Stella McCartney take advantage of this trend, but she also used this opportunity to raise awareness on the importance of our need for more sustainable and ethical fashion products.

Today was my last day in Washington D.C. We spent the morning getting an early brunch and walking around different museums. When we went to the Museum of Natural History, there was an exhibit that actually matched my outfit! Today I wore a simple black and white polka dot crop top ( us.asos.com ) and black leggings. I accessorized with various crystal necklaces and rings. The exhibit we visited was on gems and crystals, and I was able to identify every crystal I was wearing in the exhibit! Today I was wearing a blue calcite necklace, a clear quartz necklace, a hematite ring, a blue lace agate ring, and a kyanite ring.  Crystals I wore: Clear Quartz Necklace and Blue Calcite Necklace - $20 each , both from the FIT flea market  Hematite and Blue Lace Agate rings - $8 , stickstonebone.com Kyanite ring - $35 , annickdesigns.com
