valentine’s day is the day to shower those you care about with love. well, every day is, but valentine’s day just adds a few sprinkles on top [am i right?!]. this year i’ll be celebrating on the slopes [i can’t wait!!]
whether you’re celebrating with a significant other or having girls night out, i hope you make the most of the holiday of love! below are a few of my favorite picks on what to get him or her. hopefully it helps take the pressure off of searching the internet for the perfect gift. it really is all about the time spent together [but i’m sure we can all agree, gifts sure are nice too 😉 ].
this week has been another whirlwind and there is still half of it left. in stressful situations, i find myself worrying more than ever. but what i’ve come to realize is that worrying about the minor things and what the future may bring only adds weight to the issues at hand. life is such a beautiful gift. why weigh it down and waste it worrying? how is worrying actually going to change the outcome of a situation? it doesn’t and it won’t. it only robs you of the precious moments you could have spent enjoying life. i can tell myself this over and over again [the best advice is your own advice, right?] yet still, i find myself worrying. worrying about what my life will be like the next year, where my next move may be, what am i going to eat for lunch, when am i going to have time to catch up on the blacklist, when do i have time to schedule that appointment, etc.. some are more important concerns than others, but what i’ve come to realize is, worrying about any of them is one big waste of time.
i am constantly having to remind myself that as long as i am prepared with the full armor of Christ, then all will be well. a part of my new years resolution is to create more memories. more joyous memories. looking back as i was dancing down the sidewalk in this carefree and casual outfit is just one more reminder, life can be so full of love and happiness. worrying simply gets in the way. so with a big smile on my face i’m saying, “see ya worries, i’m officially throwing you out the window!” [well, working on it.. :)]
so do not worry, saying, ‘what shall we eat?’ or ‘what shall we drink?’ or ‘what shall we wear?’
for the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
but seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. each day has enough trouble of its own.
some days i find myself moving at 100 mph and on my busiest days i just want to be comfortable. i’ve come to realize lounge sweats aren’t appropriate for meetings [major bummer] so i’m always on the hunt for the next best. this look is great for running errands and attending casual meetings or hang outs with friends. swap out the distressed jeans with a nice black pair, and the shoes for a pair of heels and this look becomes office casual [for those of you with relaxed dress code rules.]
i’ve become slightly obsessed with these jeans that are incredibly comfortable and fit like a glove. they’ve easily moved up to my favorite pair. i’m actually real excited to pair them once it warms up outside! ripped jeans were my favorite thing back in my middle school abercrombie days. the part of me that still has a tight grip around my youth was elated when they started popping back up again! i can do without the scarves that turn into tube tops, seatbelt belt buckles and the over use of glitter as makeup. anyone else remember those days? oh to be a kid again!
a pop of red brightens any outfit. it can be a bright, fun and cheerful color. this effortless look featuring this top would be perfect for a valentine’s date when paired with a skirt and some tights, a casual night out with friends, or tucked in with a blazer for a more professional look. add a statement necklace to this outfit and you automatically take it from day to night!
when you can get multiple uses out of a piece of clothing, you’ve got a winner! there was only one size left in the one i’m wearing so i linked an almost identical top [at a lower cost!] the linked top runs true to size and has multiple size and color options.
i try and get as much use out of my pieces as possible. casual is always my go-to, but like most girls, i do enjoy getting fancy 😉
casual or fancy, sweats or sequins, one thing will always remain, a bold attitude will always take an outfit up a notch.
