Outfit Inspiration | July 23, 2015

My Do-Over


Anthropologie Buttoned Gauze Tank by Cloth & Stone

What are you guys doing this weekend? Will you be going on a date or on a girls night by chance? Well, this outfit was inspired by my outfit fail last weekend. I had one of those moments when you hate what you have on. I didn’t feel cute. I felt covered up and short, so this outfit is my retaliation -ha! This is my do-over!

So, you know what I did? I went to Anthropologie the next day and bought two new tank tops (here and here)! I like these tank tops, because they’re not too revealing and I can still wear my normal bra- win, win!

Luckily, I already had a great new pair of wedges from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale  (my picks here, here and here) that made me feel tall and cute!

I added some cute accessories and my do-over is complete! I’ve been loving both my new tank and wedges so much that I can’t stop wearing them!

And my do-over outfit works well for the day, too! It’s especially cute with my sweaty face -ha! Just keeping it real.

In the end, if you don’t like your outfit, it’s ok. You just have to get over it, because  what really matters is that your beautiful personality shines through. That’s the pep talk I gave myself last weekend, and it worked! Does this mean I’m growing as a person? I hope so.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

    I love all of the ways you styled the moss colored tank. I would’ve never thought to pair it with white. You look so pretty in all the pics and the sweaty face made me laugh because it is ridiculously hot in southeast tx right now! If you don’t mind me asking, what color lipstick are you wearing in the pic with the miss tank and cardigan?
    Thanks,
    Aprol

My first visit to a Kips Bay Decorator Show House My first visit to a Kips Bay Decorator Show House (@kbshowhouse ) did not disappoint! Wow! Wow! Wow! 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! 

Comment “oil” for  links to both the Castor Oil and the wands I use. #beautytips #beauty #eyebrows #beautyproducts
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

Comment “gadget” or “tool” for a link to the stitch gun to your dm.
