Holiday Fever

You know when you see a woman during the holiday season dressed in an outfit that makes her look like a Christmas tree... well... inside I secretly want to be her...

Okay, well not really... but I love to dress for the holidays. I love to wear pastels on Easter, red, white and blue on the fourth and Santa red on Christmas. When I was getting dressed this morning I was extra eager to put on this orange dress for Halloween. I did hold back the black cardi and paired the orange with brown for a softer look, which I really liked.

This dress I have in another color and was actually purchased as a summer knit dress. It has more structure to it, so I knew it had the potential to be paired with tights for fall. I actually have a great pair of boots to go along with the dress, but being on my feet for 8 hours I stuck with a pair of flats.

Tell me, how do you dress for the Holidays??

Morning Sunshine.

I have recently changed jobs yet again, but I am so excited to say that I am working in retail again! I love how fast paced it is, the challenges it brings to the table, and that I can work with people. I have joined the team at Marshalls, and it has been the best move for me!

The position I am in has more responsibility which I am still adjusting too, and the 40 minute commute that comes along with it. With those adjustments I decided I would create a playlist on my iPhone called "Morning Sunshine" to listen on my way to and from work each day. Morning talk shows do nothing for me...

In the morning as I am trying to get ready, getting my lunch packed, and making sure to feed Mihn,  I don't have time to really take a minute and enjoy the beautiful morning I have been blessed with, and the peace that comes along with it. In the busy world we live in, it can be a challenge to slow down and remember to take in the sunshine, and be grateful for the life you have. Once I have rushed around for an hour, I hop into my car and enjoy my own personal playlist that reminds me to stop... and take in the sun.

The little things can change your life in little ways, with big impacts to follow.

This outfit was from the other day. It is getting quite cold here in New England, but the store can be warm with my running around... the pair of skinny jeans and a loose fitted blouse make the perfect pair for my first night closing.

Finding My Calling...

Hello... Yep... It's ME!

This blog has been very neglected, and the only excuse I have is that life got in the way.

The past year there has been many things in my life that has changed. New job.. new apartment.. going back to college.. new car... and although all that sounds fine and dandy, things we not clicking to me like I wanted them too.

After what feels like a year long journey of finding myself, I am back to challenge myself with this here blog. I want to immerse myself and embrace my passions. The past 13 months I have grown into someone who is not afraid to make changes, decisions, take risks, and I am ready to become my own person.

Hope you are ready for the ride!
