I’m not going to lie you all, this has been a tough week. I know I don’t mention it on the blog very much because this is sort of my escape, but infertility is no joke. It’s been a little over a year and a half since we started this journey, and it feels every bit that long. I was recently doing my current Bible study on a particularly tough day, and the topic was how important it is to draw near to God during a season of waiting. My biggest lesson during all of this is that God is good, during answered and unanswered prayers. Honestly, I’m glad I can say that. I always thought it would be true, but it is nice to know even by finding out the hard way. I’m realizing that sometimes trust just looks a lot like hard work. Sorry for getting more personal than normal, but I feel like I know so many of you and wanted to share a little. If you are in a season of waiting or difficulty, you are not alone. I’m sorry, and I pray you can find hope. He is worthy of our trust.
Now back to fashion! Partly because I didn’t feel like dragging myself out to take pictures on the only night we could and partly because my photographer husband was gone one night, I don’t have a new outfit post for you. As fall really gets into swing, I thought I would take the opportunity to share some of my fall essentials. This is what I consider everything you need for a stylish fall season. I’ve worn a lot of these items on my blog, so I thought it would be fun to round up the fall trends along with my favorite picks. I didn’t list midi skirts/dresses, but you all already know I am obsessed with those. I should also mention that blush pink, grey, burgundy, and emerald are big colors this year. Bonus points for one of these in those colors! I’d love to hear what you like best and feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

These are all such stunning fall colors and outfits! Praying for you during this time, too!
I’m really sorry that you have been experiencing such a difficult time. I’m also having a hard time because of another type problem. As you said, we should just pray and trust in God.
I like all your fall essentials and all these pieces look so pretty on you! Have a nice weekend!

Oh gosh, those boots are to die for.
I’m afraid I can’t say I know exactly what you’re going through, but I understand what struggles and hardships are like, and like you said, trusting in Him is the best way to get through it. Have a blessed day, Ann!

Thanks for sharing your infertility struggles with us. I know it is a hard place to be at right now. If I can give you any hope I do have a lot of friends who struggled with infertility as well at your age and did end up having children. It did take them a long time to conceive so my biggest suggestion is to not give up right now. You are still young and I truly believe God does have a plan for you. On another note, I love all your picks and love all these outfits. Have a great weekend.

Sorry to hear you’re still battling the infertility struggle. It’s also scary to realise that no woman ever knows how fertile they are until they start trying. :-/ You look gorgeous in all of these outfits!
