Outfit Inspiration | July 15, 2014

Blues

Am I the only one who once thought you couldn’t wear blue with blue? Well, I might be, because I asked my sister if she thought the same thing and she said, “No.” Ha! Just in case I’m not the only one, this post is for you. And for those of you in my sister’s boat, maybe this can serve as a little outfit inspiration for you.

I’ll have to say, it’s been a long time since I thought about this rule. But it must be somewhere in the cobwebs of my brain, because I rarely pick out this blue shirt when I wear blue jeans. Well, rules be gone! In fact, I must say that I really, really love this color blue with blue jeans. It’s somewhat unexpected! Which reminds me…while I’m in a client’s closet, I’m always trying to make outfits that are unexpected and not too “match-y match-y”, and this outfit reminds me of this practice. So here’s to wearing blue with blue! Oh, and since it’s so hot outside and so cold inside, I’ve been wearing my little jacket (introduced to me by Hi Sugarplum) tied around my waist.

And a picture for you to pin when you are wondering, “What should I wear today?!?”. Blue on Blue!

As I look at this picture and write about my niece, I get teary eyed. I could probably loose it. I’ll never forget the day she was born. I was in the room and it was one of the most amazing days of my life. She is a miracle in every sense of the word, but I’ll let my sister (TITYN) tell you that story. In the meantime, I’ll continue to thank God for her life. She is a true beauty on the inside and obviously on the outside. In this picture she is wearing the dress I wore when my mom married my step dad. These kinds of pictures remind me of what life is all about.

    I always struggle with wearing blue with blue. I always feel silly when I try it, but it looks so cute on you and when I see others wear it. You have inspired me to try it again!

There are so many talented artists/designers in this world, and to be able to experience and be fully immersed in so many of their creations in one place was a really neat experience!! I highly recommend, if you have not been. Their show in Dallas is open through November 13th.

Do you want new hair growth in your eyebrows? I ha Do you want new hair growth in your eyebrows? I have a trick, and no, it’s not an expensive hair growth serum! It’s Castor Oil, so it’s all natural and inexpensive. Apparently, it’s been used for thousands of years dating back to ancient Egypt. Ok, and I use it on my eyelashes, too, but I’m doing that at my own risk. I don’t want to recommend this practice, since I don’t really know what it’s going to do to my eyesight. I know, call me crazy- it’s fine. 

Thanks to my friend, Michelle for telling me about this little trick!

I attended a funeral today of a friend who died of I attended a funeral today of a friend who died of mental illness. If my friend is strong enough to stand at the podium and talk about her husband and the hope her family has in the midst of their darkest days, then I want to honor both of them by telling you about my struggle with mental illness. My friend mentioned that many of her husband’s closest friends had no idea that he’d been struggling with mental illness for 3 years, and I realized that many of you, and probably some of my closest friends don’t know how long and hard my struggle has been with mental illness. For me my mental illness wasn’t the kind where I couldn’t get out of bed or out of the house, which would make it hard to tell I was struggling. For me it looked more like battling through the day and struggling with my own self condemning thoughts and emotions - shaming myself for being happy one minute and sad the next, or for not being happy all the time, looking around at all my blessings and not feeling gratitude, which made me feel like there was something wrong with me. It was hard to get excited. On some days I walked around feeling like a scared puppy in a big bad world with my emotions right at the surface. For me, my faith is very important to me, and I knew this was not the life God had for me, so I started to pray for help and deliverance. God started to lead me to help in a whole bunch of different forms, counselors, health practitioners, friends, medicine, trauma therapy, EMDR, books, excercise, the support of family, and most importantly, Christ and His word. 
For me, it was over a 10 year battle probably because I was overcoming a lot of trauma being raised by an alcoholic mom. But for you it may be longer or shorter or this isn’t something you struggle with at all (hallelujah!). If you do, your emotions and your struggle may be different. But I’m here to say, you’re loved. You are loved by God and by so many of the people around you. Don’t give up. Dig in and fight the battle that’s happening in your mind. Fight it like you would if you had cancer. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalillness #mentalhealthmatters
I had fun taking this outfit from day to night by I had fun taking this outfit from day to night by swapping out my denim skirt for my leather skirt!! I’m also totally digging socks with loafers. Takes me right back to my middle school days, and I’m not sad about it! And yes, that’s what my closet looked like after trying to figure those outfits out, but it was fun! 🤷🏼‍♀️

How to get the cuffed denim look without buying a How to get the cuffed denim look without buying a new pair of jeans! You don’t need to buy a new pair of jeans to get the cuffed denim look! Just grab a pair of straight leg jeans from your closet, cuff them to be about an inch or 2 above the top of your ankle bone and use the nifty little gadget from this tutorial. Viola! Plus, the cuffed denim length makes it a heck of a lot easier to wear most of the shoes in your closet! #winning
