Mood: Resolute
Weather: Beautiful, sunny, warm, slight breeze
Outfit Purpose: A Night Out
Style Savvy: I love the look of all black, it’s sleek, chic and can be translated so many different ways from edgy to refined or classic to professional. But I do love me some color too! This outfit combo mixes black (for mystery) with a splash of color and shimmer (for play). I may be breaking my rules a little with showing too much skin on the top and bottom but my justification is that my top by Shop Dame has a higher neckline and is long and drapey. The fabric on my mini skirt by Single by Galina Sobolev is so close to the fabric of my top it almost seems like I’m wearing a dress. I love when this happens, especially when matching black. To finish off my look, I cinched my waist with a J. Crew studded belt (giving my outfit some shape) then added my Mango ankle strap heels, Louis Vuitton mini handbag and some gold jewelry.
Personal Style: Glam Girl
What’s Going On With Me: Yesterday I had enough (read here). I decided I needed to shift my perception and today I took action to change it. I’m making a commitment to myself to shift my thinking so that I’m not wasting away, feeling sorry for myself and wallowing in sadness. I know I need time to heal from my divorce but that doesn’t mean I have to stop living life. I kind of forgot this a little. I got an earful from a few people who care and love me and although a bit harsh, I did need to hear it. I know I’m still going to have a few bad days (I’m realistic) but at least I can have a plan and make a commitment to myself everyday to take some form of action that’s healthy for my mind, body and spirit. I typically don’t have expectations on people, places and things but I think having a couple for myself will be a good motivator.
Thoughts: If you don’t take any action you won’t get any results. I was reminded of this today and of course logically it makes sense. It’s like brushing your teeth. If you don’t move your ass into the bathroom and put toothpaste on your toothbrush chances are your teeth aren’t getting brushed. AND I always feel better after I brush my teeth (smiley face).
