I'll also be posting pictures from the NY trip very soon, but I wanted to post these pictures first because my pink eye is practically gone and two good things came from it...1) I got to wear these cute faux reading glasses 2) I realized that I don't need eye makeup to look good ;) That's not to say that I didn't miss my mascara immensely, but it felt nice to leave the house without it and still feel good about myself.
Lately I've been noticing how hard so many women are on themselves. They look back at photos and they are constantly pointing out something wrong with their hair or legs or arms etc. While I am not the poster child for confidence, I feel pretty darn good about myself. I took my pink eye all around Atlanta AND New York with little to no makeup and didn't think twice about it...and I honestly think people didn't notice my eye because of the way I carried myself.BTW isn't this red Elliott Luca bag fabulous? I rediscovered it during all my packing.
Anyway, I guess I just say all this to say that we as women need to relax. None of us are perfect and never will be, but we are all beautiful and we need to own it. You'd be amazed at what a little moxie can do for you ;)

Confidence is key and you have it. You look great.

i love the blouse and the bag!!
ReplyDeleteI love the blouse, the bag and the glasses. And you're right, we are very hard on ourselves (at least I know I am). It's all about changing your mindset and how you see yourself. It;s not easy but the end result is totally worth it!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you! I hope you enjoyed your trip to New York. I'm actually making plans to go back.
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear that your eye is much better.
You are so right. None of us are perfect and we are too hard on ourselves sometimes.
ReplyDeleteYou look raaaaaaaaaaadiant.
Good luck with the move. =D
I love the print on that top. It looks fab with your lovely red bag (how you could you ever forget that you own it!!!).
ReplyDeleteYou look great without make-up so there was no reason to worry about going around town with a bare face. As I've gotten older, my attitude has been adjusted to embrace what I have. That doesn't mean I don't have days when I wish something was different or better on my body, but this is the one I have, so I'm going to love it.
Good luck with your move!!! I've never had to pack up and move quite so far. I know lots of patience is going to be necessary.
As always, I love what you are wearing. Your confidence message is so beautiful and true.
ReplyDeleteLove the exposed zipper in the back of the blouse, you look fantastic!
