I Am A 'Closet Romantic'

By Tanvi Rastogi @tanviidotcom

I love, love. 

I love romantic movies. I love romantic gestures. I think I am finally embracing the romantic in me ... I have been in denial for this long ... or may be a 'closet romantic' all this while. 

I am enamored with the concept of love, but I do not really enjoy nauseating 'display' of love. Excessive PDA *eye.roll* There is a difference between expressing the emotion to the person you love versus displaying the emotion for the benefit of others. You know what I mean? The prior is beautiful and makes me believe in true love and all things good versus the later wants me to slap the daylight out of people (I exaggerate, but pretty close).


I am also realizing that youth < the period when you are carefree, take risks without over thinking, and make bad decisions > is so short lived. You can be young-at-heart forever but your youth leaves you pretty damn quickly. I wanna say I don't have any regrets, because that is what you are apparently supposed to say, but dammit I wish I could go back and re-live my youth. I would do a lot of things differently. And make a lot of bad decisions. Being good, wasn't all that fun in hindsight. 
I have been watching romantic movies, and re-watching my old favorites. Hence, these thoughts. If you there is a romantic movie that you enjoyed and would like to recommend, please let me know in the comments below, language no-bar.
Moving on to the outfit ... it has been tundra temperatures around here already. It even snowed last week. There is nothing cute about this look. I am bundled up in cozy layers, talking of which obsessed with this recycled super soft teddy sweater.  Location - Maryland Sweater - c/o prAna // Same Jeans - c/o Chico's // Same Shoes - New Balance // Similar Cap - c/o Dadbrand // Similar
