Gingham and Eyelet

July 31, 2015

First, I wanted to say thanks for your kind responses to my post on Wednesday. It always feels a little vulnerable to share something other than fashion around here. My takeaway is that we all struggle some with social media and comparison. We are all comparing to each other and all feeling like we don’t measure up when we do. I say let’s do our best to build each other up. I want to be a woman known for loving other women and creating an atmosphere where no one leaves feeling less than. I hope you feel that way about my blog. It’s why I started it in the first place. I found other fashion blogs so inspiring and hoped to do even a sliver of the same.

My gingham kick continues (remember this dress?) with these pants I got on major sale at LOFT – my go-to store. They are currently half off the sale price. Score! I paired them with this pretty eyelet cutout top from Chicwish. How great are these sleeves? I don’t usually wear color, but I loved this periwinkle and pretty detailing. I’ve now worn these floral heels approximately 62 times (here and here on the blog). They are so versatile and such a steal (only $30!). Funny story, when I wore them on this day a little girl walked past me a really loudly said, “Mom, that lady is wearing really tall shoes.” Made my day. Totally unrelated – doesn’t my hair look so blonde in these pictures? I recently got it done (this isn’t the first set of photos), and I really like it. I’m totally a natural brunette. #faker
