Make sure you’ve got a great nude summery heel for all of your warm water outfits! Every time you turn around you’ll be wanting to grab them! My favorite styling bit about nude heels: they make your legs appear longer because they’re less of a contrast to your skin tone and don’t make your foot look cut off from the rest of your leg! Sorry for that ‘cut off’ visual but also you’re welcome. Happy nudie tip day! .

You don’t have to utilize a specific item for the way it’s intended, styling it in a way that makes you FEEL amazing will automatically make you look amazing! Trousers don’t only mean you have to wear a collared shirt and pump, try dressing them up strappy heels & going casual on top or dress them down with loafers or sneakers when going dressier on top. .

Oversized button up + Bermuda shorts + strappy heels, the outfit all of you need to take for a spin this summer! If you don’t like the length of Bermuda shorts for your legs (after all, every leg ever made is perfectly unique!) don’t be afraid to cut them to your liking – fold them under while wearing them, mark them with chalk & chop those bad boys up! For the oversized top try a full tuck, half tuck as pictured, all out or get a little sassier and wear it open with a fitted drop top underneath. .

Raw hem denim & heels allllllll day long YASSSS! Clear, strappy heels are amazing for shorter gals that want to elongate their legs. Denim with personality, like a raw hem or flared leg, adds an easy visual element that immediately gives your outfit flair you don’t have to put extra thought into! It’s all in the intentional details, my friend! .

For all my ladies that love a wardrobe full of T-shirt’s & denim, accessories are your best bud! Layered necklaces, rings, bracelets (or all of the above!!) pair beautifully with the simple look of a tee & jeans. Dainty, chunky, charmed, mixed metals paired with solids, prints or graphic tees – it all works! I love accessories, they’re the simplest way to dress up your comfiest outfits & express your personal style even further! .

Some days I lose my mind completely. Others, I’ve never known such peace being in a season of stillness with my family. It’s very much a day-to-day question of, ‘how’s this day going to go?’ I forget what it feels like to have extra time for myself or the mental capacity to dream about my business endeavors or the ways I want to see it grow beyond this wildly unpredictable season. But what I have had time for is loving my kids, for getting lost in the chaos and creating something fun out of it, for embracing the moments that we overcome difficulties and trade them for fruit that remains & for accepting that my personal time is at 11pm with my fav snack in a safe house. We’ve watched too much tv, we’ve eaten our weight in bread & burritos (gotta support that local taco shop ya know!) but we’ve played hard, we’ve loved hard & despite difficulties we’ve laughed and we’ve felt safe. We’ve grown together. If that’s what we get out of this then that’s ok with me! Growing with the people I love the most, protecting them & investing in them. Because even if my efforts aren’t specifically directed at myself I’m growing as a mama, I’m becoming more self disciplined and more aware of what’s the most important in this lifetime – my people. .

I don’t love pink. But I sure am wearing a lot of it in this picture! (Happy Vday!!) This obnoxious jacket gave me so much life last winter! It was bright & warm & sassy and all of the things I needed it to be to make me feel happy! Guys, that’s what it’s all about – this life. It’s about living happy and letting it ooze (even though that’s the worst word in the English language) from every facet of our being so we can spread it around and mix it in and let it overpower all the confusion and discord in the world around us. Every day we have a choice to make – to contribute to our grumpy, judgmental world or to stand up for something that creates life & leaves an impact, a legacy of delight & fulfillment. I choose happy! I choose to silence judgements, to embrace differences in people, to wear a baby pink jacket when I feel like it, dang it & to not leave room for comparison or self doubt. I’m worth it and so are you. .

When you think of your happiest, most confident clothes – what triggers that inward exhilaration for you? Color? Texture? Bold print? Clean lines? Simplicity? There are so many, many things that contribute to our personal style but the most important of them all is how you feel in what you’re wearing! If you only wore what made you FEEL AMAZING then your style would take shape all on its own because confidence would emerge! When we feel frustrated and insecure in our clothes the total opposite happens, we feel unsure & insecure which translates too easily to awkwardness and constant self doubt. We carry ourselves differently and the cycle of self doubt gets fed. If you could wear one thing for the rest of your life (that’s not strictly lounge wear, that’s an obvi one!) what would it be? Does a color come to mind? Fabric? Print? Certain silhouette? Dive further into what it is about that thing that makes you FEEL secure & don’t let people or social pressures make you change your mind. Lean into that thing and start exploring it more! For me, I’d choose tshirts – I stopped telling myself they’re too boring and I started challenging myself to wear them more and style them differently simply because I felt good in them, now it’s a uniform! I feel confident, sexy, secure & totally myself when I wear one that I love! Take off your insecurity outfit and put on your confidence uniform! .
