Some beautiful buds the the road home in the evening (love that it was still this bright out around 7pm!).
On Sunday I went to my grandparent's senior residence for Mothers' Day brunch.
Outfit deets: Forever 21 jacket, Dynamite lace top & tube top underneath, Aeropostale denim & Zara heels.
We ate like kings and they came around and served us eggs benedict too. There was a sizeable dessert table too but I only had some fruit a a very small piece of carrot cake (but wanted more!).
Sunday late afternoon and evening was spent editing a video for a dental office that I've been hired to do. It's almost complete, which is exciting for both parties.
Lastly, I forgot to share this bracelet holder with you sooner, but I picked up two of these off eBay (one was broken when it arrived s I'm waiting for a replacement) and quite enjoy.
Bracelets: F21, The Bay, Suzy Shier, The Bay, Dillards, Mexx, Mexx, Dillards & Joe Fresh
Outfit deets:
* Old Navy jacket (old) which you've seen over a white denim jacket with olive dress, with different black skinnies (& heels) and a cool snood (a favourite post), & also with a leopard skirt.
* H&M black pants--my faves (from my trip Vegas; haul video HERE)--which you've seen with a blush sweater & buckle open-toe booties.
* Ardene chrome cap-toe flats (I've worn these so much since getting them months ago there is a hole in them! Wahhhh! I know they aren't the best quality, but I love them so much and find myself reaching for them constantly. They are effortlessly chic with the silver cap-toe). You've seen them with black & white pants with a peplum top.
* Accessories: Le Chateau pashmina, Gucci shades, Detox spike bangle, F21 square bangle & Joe Fresh striped bangle.
Hello Friday!
The weekend is finally (almost) here and who doesn't love that!?
This week has been super lovely and I haven't worn a jacket into work once. What a beautiful change from a few weeks ago when it was still almost freezing.
In other news, my car is acting up again. Ugh. I took it in on Monday before work because it was acting up, the Service Manager managed to turn off the engine light which temporarily fixed the problem. We booked it in for two weeks from now as that's when I'll be able to get a loaner. Well, last night while driving home from getting a (spray) tan and groceries, it started happening again. How frustrating is that, right? Very. I just thank my lucky stars there is warranty left on the car because although this is a headache, it's not coming out of my pocket.
This weekend I'm heading out of town for tonight and Sunday there is a Mothers' Day brunch at my grandparent's senior residence. What are you up to?
* Joe Fresh trench jacket, seen before with a dress and tights.
* Le Chateau sweater (new!).
* Alfred Sung skirt (old).
* Aldo wedges.
* Accessories: H&M bangle, Swarovski bangle, Suzy Shier necklace & Urban Expressions purse.
My answer is simple: no.
I have a good job, a great job even, that affords me a pretty nice life style. I'm not rolling in money but I can buy things, go out and well, enjoy life. I am so grateful for my job and that I am able to do these things, and worked very hard to get to where I am.
Disclaimer aside, it's not my passion.
I'm not living what I love.
I dream of a day where I'm living what I love, doing something in fashion, or social media, blogging, styling or helping people get dressed. These are things I'm passionate about. These are things that get me excited.
These are not things that would currently pay the bills.
I struggle with the idea of ever leaving the job I'm in. It's a job many people would want, kill for even, and like I said, it affords me a lifestyle I like. Leaving it would be so scary, and if I didn't make as much money, would I be as happy or comfortable? I don't even feel that comfortable, so I can't imagine making less. On the other hand, if you're doing what you are really passtionate about, wouldn't that be enough?
Sound off: are you living what you love?
