Mood: Open
Weather: Sunny, hot but slightly cooler and less humidity
Outfit Purpose: Labor Day
Style Savvy: I’m a firm believer that you can still look stylish while dressing casual and comfy. Take this outfit I put together with my printed denim shorts by Old Navy, Gap Pure white tee, lightweight colorful printed Duro Olowu for JCP jacket and Vince Camuto rose gold studded flip flops. This is one way to dress up a white t-shirt by mixing different prints and fabrics.
Personal Style: Casual Holiday
What’s Going On With Me: It’s Labor Day and for the most part I’ve been chillin. The backdrop to my photos today is a place where I actually go hiking up some pretty steep trails like I did today. My mom turned me onto this spot and I love it. The lake just happens to be here and for the past month I’ve been waiting to plan the right outfit for the right occasion to use for this column. Perfect for Labor Day!
I got some clarity with my thoughts from yesterday (if you missed it read here) which is good but I still feel a bit unsettled. Some old “stuff” that I rarely entertain got triggered about wanting to feel accepted and loved. AND the ironic part is that I am already accepted and loved by many people. If I dig deeper it comes back to how I feel about myself and am I accepting and loving myself fully? I try everyday but I’m not perfect. So on the days when I’m not filling that aspect of myself, I reach for something external to fill the void. It may be a quick fix but can lead to disappointment when it doesn’t work because really … it’s an inside job.
Thoughts: To clear my head of negative mental chatter I write it out and hike it out. I need both mental and physical workouts to knock the nonsense rattling around in my noggin. What do you do?
