“You are not a before and after story. You don’t need to become one, either. You are a whole, complex, multilayered, undefinable, ever-changing human being. Your humanity doesn’t need to be proved.”

This Morning: Journaled for a little bit this morning. Now, I’m off to the artist baker to pick up some coffee, fresh flowers and croissants.
Today’s outfit: UPF Collared Margo Shirtdress (c/o) I’m in the XL up to 3x!, More sizes in stock in this print, sneakers (my favorite – I got the very first release of these and never looked back)
Today’s to-do: Today, I have the usual workday from 8:30-6. Tonight, Andrew and I are going on a date night! We hadn’t been on one since my birthday, so I’m really excited.
Today’s intention: Recalibrate. Sometimes, as much as we put the emphasis on others to follow through or take care of their end of a friendship, we need to also know in any scenario you share a role. The shares of responsibility may not be equal depending on the situation, but if I feel let down, it’s also my part to speak up. If I choose not to, recalibrate my expectations, feel my feelings and work through them. Sometimes, I think making mountains out of mole hills can cause more harm than good to my personal mental health, not the case for everyone. But today, focusing on recalibrating my actions as we as my expectations from others! It’s all good.
Shop the Look
This collared, cute dress is the style and ease for the kind of casual dressing that just elevates everything! Paired with those fresh sneakers underscores how this dress can be a very flattering, “finished” casual look. And it takes a minute to get dressed! I love the look on you. It’s a great dress, I’ll be a “copy-cat”.
