ripped jeans.  why is it so hard to find the perfect pair?  i ordered these jeans expecting them to be more baggy.  i wanted super ripped boyfriend jeans.  but they fit me a little tighter than i would have liked.  oh well!  you win some and you lose some.  and the hunt continues ;)

hope you all had a great long weekend.  i didn't do much but watch the new pirates of the caribbean movie (which i recommend!) and go to a bar b que.  super chill, super and laid back weekend.  now if we can only get the weather to feel like summer over in these parts...


and some other ripped jeans i have my eye on

if you guys have learned anything about my style by now, it's that i love a good flowy, floral dress.  i can live in them every single day.  i always feel so comfortable yet so put together.  a win in my book for sure!!

i've linked this one below and the same style but in different colors/patterns because every girl needs a good flowy dress in her wardrobe ;)  (and they're only $30!)

i had a super up and down day yesterday.  or i should say down and slowly come back up day.  so today i feel recharged.

yesterday i allowed myself to feel.  i allowed myself to cry.  i threw my temper tantrum and let it all out.  and then, i put my big girl pants back on and carried on with the day.  i did things that made me feel good for me.  because i deserve it.  and because if i don't cherish myself, who else will?

i had spent the time with my husband.  i had the pizza.  i did the yoga.  i skipped dinner and had the late night ice cream, too.  so much soul feeding.  so much goodness.  sometimes it's just absolutely needed.

yesterday was a day of trial.  and i think i passed.  i'm all about being positive constantly.  taking each bad thing that happens and turning it into something good.  a lot of the time that means pushing my feelings aside.   i'm so used to keeping myself together and being this strong woman with so much pride and dignity.  but not yesterday.   yesterday, i just let my feelings pour out of me.  and then i did all of the things that made me feel whole again.

and so today i feel new.

there's an ocean
inside of me.
put your ear against my chest and listen,
it rages for you.

i'm finding myself with less and less to write about lately.  maybe i feel at a standstill.  i'm still out and about, wearing lovely outfits that i still want to share.  but the words just escape me.  what should i say today?  i don't feel like anything exciting is going on in my life so i feel like i have nothing to talk about anymore.  i guess that happens.  and maybe that's not a bad thing?

if you're reading this, thank you for continuing to follow along.  even when i have nothing to say.  i love dressing up, going out with my hunny and sharing it here with you.  i still feel silly for doing what i do.  i feel even more silly when people ask me about it.  or people who don't know that blogging is a thing take me for some superficial girl because i'm photographed so much.  "the most photographed wife in the world".  a relative said that to me a few weeks ago. i wanted to explain what it is that i do.  and why i'm photographed so much.  but it felt pointless.

no my husband isn't obsessed with me.  no i'm not superficial.  the opposite, in fact.  actually if you knew me, you would be so surprised to know how much anxiety i get over talking with people!  i guess that's why i love blogging...because i don't really have to talk to anyone (until i go to an event or someone that reads my blog asks me about it...cue the anxiety!)

i guess this post about not having much to say turned into me having a lot to say ;)  i should do this more often...just speak from the heart.  let my fingers do the talking and not over analyze what i'm going to write about.
