One Dress, Three Ways
I love when one article of clothing has so many possibilities. It’s my favorite thing about capsule wardrobe — making the most of the clothes you have. I explored that with this Sweet Baby Jamie dress.
Love a Little Better
Despite the quippy quotes on loving yourself and all the happiness book recommendations, I found myself among women who still complained about their bodies, who were embarrassed by the mess of their homes, and endlessly critical of every detail of their lives. I’ve spent years trying to understand what God meant because I saw so many working so hard to love themselves, and the love for their neighbor never came.
Another Year Older
In January I turned thirty-three. I am typically a big birthday recognizer and celebrator, but since entering my thirties with lots of gumption followed by exhaustion and memory loss at thirty-one, and then depression at thirty-two, I wanted this birthday to just slip on by. To my surprise, I actually enjoyed this birthday. It was a nice, gentle, and simple celebration with lots of cake and ice cream sundaes. Sugar really does help the medicine go down.
Lunch Date Outfit
This was the outfit I put together for a lunch date with Jordan and a friend. It’s been a while since I’ve made lunch plans with a friend. I believe the last time I made lunch plans was late mid-pandemic.
Sweaters & Hats
When it’s the season of sweaters and all that winter gear, I make sure to play around with layers to keep it fun and I throw on my favorite evergreen accessories — necklaces and felt hats. Here are five variations.
The Creative Wrestle
It was a good, but weird week. That’s how I’ve described it to people who’ve asked. How else would you describe a week where each day was a mental fight with fear, but at the end of it, you came out the other side to see that you created beautifully?
A Gentle Resolution
On New Year’s Eve I didn’t dress up, light fire crackers, and participated in conversations that bled into one. I clank wine glasses with sparkling cider, dress in my robe, and I was in bed by 11:49. Jordan and I laugh that we almost made it to midnight. I was tired and I expected I would enter the new year that same very way.
