While coating her skin with some Jergens body lotion, the cherry almond scent to be exact, Aspen let the sounds of Mariah The Scientist's Sacrifice play throughout the room. The way that album was so relatable to Aspen, it felt as if Mariah wrote it specifically for her.

After Aspen had finished lathering her body, she headed over to the suitcase that was sitting on the bed. Inside was a few of her clothes that are never bothered to hang up.

Reason being, Aspen didn't want to overstay her welcome. Even though Khaza had made it clear that Ezra didn't mind her presence, Aspen still didn't want to get to too comfortable. So she kept a few things still secluded in her suitcase.

Things like clothes and jewelry. Which she rummaged through, trying to find the right attire for the date. It was seeming impossible at first just because Aspen kept changing her mind.

Every time she decided on an outfit, boom she'd change her mind within seconds. Being the indecisive person she was, Aspen already knew she'd do something like that.

But being indecisive was needed. It was her and Khaza's day. Aspen wanted it to be close to perfect if not perfect. And she wasn't about to let something as simple as finding an outfit stress her out.

After what seemed like forever, Aspen finally decided on an outfit to wear. First, she started with the top which was a Cottage Core Corset top that was in the color white. For her pants, Aspen wanted to be bold so she went with a pair of Sweet Talking Gingham Capri leggings which sported the colors red and white.

Earlier in the day, Aspen had settled on a color scheme for her outfit which were those two colors. Long time ago, Aspen had read somewhere about how the color red represents boldness and intense passion along with high energy. Whereas white represents new beginnings and calmness.

She wanted to mix the two together so each color could balance one another and show a bit of her personality.

The last thing to complete the outfit was the shoes. For that, Aspen had to head towards the closet cause that's about the only thing she really unpacked since being a guest at the Whitfield household.

Standing in the doorway of the closet, Aspen's eyes scanned over all the shoes that sat neatly on the floor. She picked different pairs of shoes up, making mental decisions on which ones went with her outfit.

Hiding over in corner were a pair of the cutest, stylish platform sandals that Aspen owned. "I forgot I even had these." She chuckled, closing the closet door. Platforms let alone sandals were not her favorite shoes to wear.

Aspen was more of a sneaker head type girly. Between Nike and Jordan was her choice of shoes, sometimes New Balances too. But Aspen wanted to feel cutesy and feminine for her date instead of the street wear attire she'd normally go for.

Once the outfit was out the way, there was only two things left to complete Aspen's look: do her hair and accessorize her jewelry.

"Okay let's see." Aspen picked her phone up, pausing the music. "Outfit, check. Shoes, check." She loudly spoke to herself. "Only thing I gotta do now is my hair and put my jewelry pieces together but ima put my clothes on first before I do my hair."
