Stories saw it first, your girl went back for the jumpsuit. π€·πΌββοΈπ Honestly, I'm digging it. I'm calling this look "Maintenance Chic" or maybe "Trendy Janitor"... This outfit brought my attention to an important point: If you're on the fence about whether or not you can "pull something off", please just do it!
Wear the damn thing!! Even if it accentuates your pooch (ladies you know what I'm talking about).
Even if it bares your acne scarred shoulders (I'm still working on this myself).
Even if no one else dresses like that where you live.
Even if you think it's too dressy to just wear out running errands.
Even if you look like a damn janitor.
If there's a dress/shirt/pants/hat/shoes/outfit that you just absolutely love.. W E A R I T!
Chances are, you'll get a little compliment that you weren't expecting.. Or you'll look in the mirror and think "damn I love the way this looks".. Or another woman will look at you and think "Wow, she seems so confident. I'm gunna try wearing something like that!".. But most importantly of all, you'll feel confident in making risky decisions in the future. And you'll fall in love with trying new things..And you'll start falling more and more in love with yourself. π
I spent 3 hours right here yesterday. I completely lost track of time.
Do you ever have days/weeks where the anxieties of life literally just consume you? Eat you up inside? Cause you to stress and over think everything?
Last week was one of those weeks for me. I was looking forward to a stress free weekend, but on Saturday morning I found myself right back where I was... and it continued on.
There were only two specific time frames this weekend where I felt completely at peace; one was here, in this nook, warm & cozy by the fire, jotting down hopes and dreams in my new planner & sipping on caramel apple cider.
And the other was later that night about an hour before bed, I had just showered & drank "a cup of calm" tea, the salt lamp was casting a cozy glow throughout the room, and Paul & Nana were right there with me, comfortable and sleepy.
Sometimes it's fucking hard to pull yourself out of the anxiety spiral.
But it's important that you do.
Find something, or a few different things, that you know will bring you contentment... and sneak away to do them when you're feeling overwhelmed.
The funny thing to me is that as I'm writing this, I'm realizing that the two scenarios I just described are pretty much the essence of what "hygge" means.. And if that doesn't explain my infatuation with incorporating hygge into every day life, I'm not sure what will. π€
Me writing "more coffee shop days" in my @savorlifeplanner ππ€ This planner is making me really focus on what I'm doing, what I've BEEN doing, and what I need to change to be the best version of myself I can be.
If I'm being completely honest, It's kind of uncomfortable.. My current task is filling out answers to "What have I learned in the last 90 days" and some of the things I've learned are fucking hard to write down.
But I think that's life, you have to learn to get OKAY with discomfort.. Because when you're uncomfortable, that usually means you're growing and making progress.
I'm turning 25 next month and the thought of that is honestly forcing me to take a good, hard look at where I want to be in the NEXT 5 years... And I need to get my ass in gear if I'm going to accomplish all the things I'm dreaming up.β
A little #ootd action for ya!
I've only worn these pants twice and I'm like??? Why??? I love them!
Also loved mixing business-style pants with a chunky sweater and a hat, it was a great way to dress the pants down a little bit! π₯°
Style is so much more to me than just putting clothes on in the morning. Nothing brings me more joy than putting an outfit together that I LOVE. π
If you ever want help putting an outfit together; whether it's for an interview, a party, your first day of work, or you just wanna look and feel great about your clothes, message me! I'd love to walk you through it. π
This year, I felt inclined to make a vision board for the first time ever.
I've been wanting to make one for a long time, and it finally felt right because there are a few BIG things I want to accomplish in 2020.
The reason I went for a vision board is because I wanted a constant, aesthetically pleasing reminder of all the things I want to accomplish.
Honestly, it's a little uncomfortable posting such a personal collage of my hopes and dreams on here... But I'm doing it in hopes that I can encourage other people to be more open and transparent about their lives on social media.
It's not easy to talk about the fact that we've been back in Montana for over 3 years and don't have our own place yet, but maybe some of my friends are in a similar situation, and will feel *seen* by knowing that.
There are a few other things on there that I won't go into detail about because, well, I don't want to bore you. But if you're curious, ask!
I think if we're going to make social media actually work for US in the years to come, we need to make it a community where we're all transparent and honest... and it's going to need to get to the point where we are all actually CONNECTING with each other.
A simple double tap just isn't cutting it anymore. I want to talk.
Do you have goals for the year? Big ones? Little ones? Do you want to keep them quiet? Do you like to share them to try and be held accountable? Have you ever made a vision board? Do you think they're bullshit?
Seriously, let's talk about it..
I'm back at work after 12 incredible days off. π It feels good, but I'm also kinda wishing I was sitting here with Nana, reading & sipping coffee.
β β β β β β β β β
I spent more than half of the day yesterday building a 2020 Vision Board. I've never made one before, but I've always wanted to.. And I must say, it felt SO GOOD.
β β β β β β β β β
It's such an uplifting, exciting thing to do, and I'd highly suggest it to anyone who A) loves crafts B) loves setting goals and C) wants an aesthetically pleasing way to be reminded of said goals each day.
β β β β β β β β β
My vision board is kind of personal, but I'm thinking about sharing it on here.
β β β β β β β β β
Anyway, I'll be at work, doing boat stuff, dreaming about this cozy corner. Happy 2020 my friends! π΄π₯°
