Outfit Inspiration | July 8, 2019

Outfits For The Beach

Top- Michael Star, Pants- Anthropologie, Sandals- K. Jacques similar, Bag- Here for similar, Hoops- Madewell, Necklace- Madewell, Sunglasses- Celine

I can’t believe it’s taken me over a week and a half after we got back from Mexico to post my outfits! Blame it on my husband getting a parasite in Mexico, being a mom, and it being the summer. Any one of those things is enough, but combined- woooooweeeee, it was a tough week and a half. And every mom, everywhere, said, AMEN!

I have a funny story: This is the outfit I wore to Mexico. When we were in Houston waiting to board the plane, we grabbed breakfast tacos (at Pappasitos, of course!). While we were checking out, the woman helping us asked us if we were headed to Mexico. I said, “Yah!” (with a surprised look on my face, like how did you know?), and she took her hand sweepingly over me like she was making a circle in the air and said, “She gave it way.” Y’all, I about died. It made me chuckle so hard inside. Busted. I bet she has so much fun guessing where people are headed. I know I always do, but she gets to actually ask!

Dress- LOVESHACKFANCY (in pink here), Sandals- K Jacques similar, Bag- Here for similar, Necklace- Madewell

Ever since my friend (@followtheleders) posted a picture of her LOVESHACKFANCY dress on her trip to the Bahamas, I’ve been looking for a reason/chance to purchase and wear one of their dresses! Since I was going to Mexico with my husband, I thought “here’s my chance!!” I was so excited to learn that @monkeesofhouston in Houston carries LOVESHACKFANCY because I really wanted to see, feel, and touch their products myself. I wanted to see if they were good quality and worth the splurge. I’m glad to report that the brand did not disappoint! The dresses are very good quality, and the fit is great.

 

Jumpsuit- Anthropologie, Sandals- TKEES, Sunglasses- Celine

The best part about this outfit: It’s darling, colorful, and comfortable. I love a jumpsuit to switch things up a bit. The worst part about this outfit: Going to the restroom. Honestly though, it was worth it. I wore it on a travel day because I like my legs to be covered. When I got cold, I threw on my summery sweater (and by summery, I mean that it’s like a fishnet with holes, which makes it summery in my mind 😂).

Top- Anthropologie, Skirt- AG for similar, Bracelet- Kendra Scott similar, Earrings- Madewell

I have to be honest, half the time I wear off the shoulder tops, I end up letting them do their thing- come onto my shoulder, like a normal top. But, it’s still cute either way, so why fight it? Btw, I love a long sleeve top for the summer. It sounds weird, but next time you go to dinner in a well air conditioned restaurant and you try to use the napkin as a blanket (true story), you’ll feel me.

Bikini Top- L Space here and here, Sarong- Here and here for similar, Sandals- TKEES, Bag- Here for similar, Visor- Free People, Sunglasses- Ray Ban similar, Earrings- Argento Vivo similar, Necklace- Madewell

This is the second color I own of this swimsuit top. I love this bikini top because it minimizes my large chest, but it’s still cute, and I feel comfortable in it. And I love that I can wear it frontwards and backwards! I wouldn’t say this is the most supportive large cup size bikini top, but it works for me. Also, I’m loving sarongs all over again this summer, and I can’t live without this visor!

Dress- Free People old, similar here, Sandals- TKEES, Visor- Free People, Bag- Here for similar, Sunglasses- Ray Ban similar, Hoops- Argento Vivo similar, Necklace- Madewell

This is hands down one of my favorite cover-ups of all time. It’s actually not a cover-up. It’s a sheer dress that came with a slip that I now use as a cover-up. Just an idea for you to reinvent a sheer dress you have in your closet!

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
