Style Savvy: Denim on denim is a fun and interesting way to style pieces in your wardrobe. When pairing denim, make sure to pick different shades to offset each piece so it doesn’t look like a uniform. I took my J. Crew chambray denim shirt (also worn here on Day 4) and paired it with my Old Navy “diva” shorts (now only $5 online) over my watercolor fringed Target bathing suit top and accessorized with a white and gray snakeskin belt, Kate Spade sandals and aviator sunnies.

What’s Going On With Me: Although it was a work day for me, I managed to get out of the house and hang out at Solana Beach the later part of my day. As I’ve been exploring the oceanside in San Diego, especially in North County, I realized there’s a lot of surfers here. I think more than Santa Monica (where I previously resided). Coming down to the water and watching the sunset has been more healing than ever before. I think I took the beach for granted when I lived eleven blocks away from it when I was married to my now ex-husband. Today, I’m appreciating how glorious the ocean is and absorbing the vastness which settles my nerves and centers me.
I’m trying really hard to not focus on the results or what lies ahead. It gets tricky though. I’m at a place where I have no clue where I’m going, who I’m seeing, what I’ll be doing, where I’ll be living, etc, etc. It’s a little scary but very freeing. I just trust that I’ll be lead in the right path as long as I’m open to it. I’m also starting to get somewhat lonely. It would be nice to have someone to go out with here in San Diego. In due time.
Thoughts: Step out of your own way. I need to write this saying down on a post-it and stick it to my mirror. I find when I do “step out of my own way” and help others I am right where I should be. I feel content, happy and free when I’m not in my way. For me, getting in my way looks like one of these three things: a) being all in my head with squirrely thoughts, b) procrastinating, c) doing meaningless busy work but not accomplishing anything. Slipping on a pair of insanely wicked high heels will definitely make me step into the right direction (smiley face).
