fancy this

i adore this romper from century 21. the color is beautiful, flattering, and it's almost a year-round piece. some rompers don't look so great with tights underneath but this romper wears tights very well. i felt so fabulous in this outfit. it made me feel a little fancy even :). another favorite in this look is this h&m coat. it's so cool because it's almost shaped like modern-day cardigans, so you get the benefit of that shape but with the material and warmth of an actual coat. this coat also comes in grey so i think i'll be rocking them both this season!

the girlfriend look

this is the girlfriend look. ha! no literally, my intention with this look was to achieve something that i know guys would love to see their girlfriends in. it's womanly, sophisticated with a dash of girlish cuteness. now...my mom made it very clear to me that my shorts could have stood to be a little longer (and i agree) but it's all i had in my closet! these amazing boots are super trendy and super flattering when worn with shorts. i love this as a transitional look to steal from fall and to winterize as it gets colder and colder. 

Snowed-In Saturday

Maybe it’s the blizzard…or maybe just my heart? Whatever it is, it’s keeping me inside this Saturday evening. There’s nothing I’d rather be doing after a long day of shopping in Target and grocery aisles, than relaxing with some popcorn and a good book. It’s funny how peaceful everything around me looks, when inside I’m battling with so much. But I have peace. I might not have clarity, full understanding, or a definite plan, but I do have peace. God is with me, holding my hand even though I give him a hard time with my whining and complaining– and it’s so comforting to know that he’s indeed taking me somewhere. Now I can rest and let him lead the way. He loves me more than anyone ever could.

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31 

Enjoy your Saturday and don’t forget that his love for you is so much greater than anything the world can throw at you! I LOVE YOU!
