Time Flies

    August? Already? Where did summer go? Summer is my favorite season. I love everything about it- warm nights, lightning bugs, fruity drinks, and swimming in clear water. Too bad it seems to be the shortest season around here..
   This year has brought many changes and new experiences. From traveling 3 different countries to losing a loved one. I'm so thankful for the lessons I have learned and how much I have grown as a person. Things may not always go as we want or expect them too, but we must remember, God has a plan for us.

It's true that you tell the people you love everyday that you love them. This is especially hard for me because I'm not a very affectionate person.. but atleast make sure they know how much they mean to you! Spend as much time as you can with those close to you. Talk about their childhood, experiences, dreams, life lessons, ask them questions! I will never forget the things my mawmaw taught me & how she shaped who I am as a person. I'm so thankful I got to spend the time with her I did! I'm most definitely the most like her out of her grandchildren.. we had a special bond. So many memories that mean SOOO much to me... now I know she is in a better place, with all the people she always talked about, and of course, with God. 

Those memories will forever reside in my heart. I was blessed to have such a extremely loving, classy, thoughtful grandmother! RIP mawmaw Lynn. <3

Wake up everyday and consciously make an effort to make it the best day you can. When things get tough, always keep hope, because without it, we have nothing.

4 Ways to Wear a White Tshirt: Sassy but Classy

    I've been planning this post for a while now, but haven't had time to take pictures of the other outfits. So I decided I would separate them into different posts. I am wondering...what do you all edit your pictures with? What websites, software, etc do you use? I find that editing pictures can be so stressful with all the clicking & entering different files.. What are some of your tips?

    Anyway, a white tshirt is one of the basics. There is so many ways to wear it! Dress it up or down, you just can't go wrong.. I love the accessories I paired with this outfit! I'm not big on statement necklaces, but this one is perfect! I've always wanted a hat like this, so when I found it at Wet Seal for $10, I had to get it! The shoes just pull the whole outfit together!

Comfy & Casual

This maxi skirt from Brandy Melville is one of my favorites! It's soo soft  and comfortable to wear! It feels like I'm wearing a sheet , but even more comfortable than that! The slit up the side shows off your tan..especially when wearing white on top that! This outfit is perfect for any warm day when you want to look classy, and cute, but be very comfortable! The skirt is lightweight too! You can even dress it up with some pearls like I did or put a cardigan over top for cooler days!

Classy...and sassy

I love wearing classy pieces. No matter how you style them, or where you wear them, you'll always look good! That's the thing about basics, you can never go wrong. Of course you want your outfit to be memorable though... Adding a patterned piece or some embellishment will make it even more special. 

Don't forget the red lipstick & pearls! My staples!
