I say it a lot in real life, but this blog has been really a journey for me in getting to know myself and gain confidence. Really, this past year has been a series of adventures in understanding myself better. I am finally understanding better on how to let go. I have a fairly (extremely?) type A personality and tend to really focus on things that don't matter and let them get to me. These photos are an exercise in letting go. After a bit of a stressful day with things at work, I decided I was going to find a bright place to take photos and just smile. Smile because there is a bright blue wall and it was so hot I had sweat dripping under my bangs but I had completely dismissed whatever had just gotten me so upset. So here's to you, little park with your blue wall and blog and blogging community in general for helping me become a better person.
Also...how have I never put these heels on blog? I love these things. They were the last thing I purchased in Cincinnati (other than my car) before moving here.

So thankful I found your blog. I'm going to start taking more outfit photos after my move + I think what you said about the blogging community making us better is spot on. Rock on, lovely!

Those shoes are AWESOME. And girl: you've got some great legs! Love your blog :)
ReplyDeleteGreen is such a great color on you! Very adorable look!
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is hard to let go of little things --which is why we need to make sure we have an outlet to vent! Like um, shopping... ^_^ I hope your upcoming work week is more enjoyable than today!
