Learning to love your body isn’t a linear journey Learning to love your body isn’t a linear journey and it often doesn’t have a clear and definitive end. I’ve worked for the better part of a decade on my relationship with my body. I’ve done a lot of work. I’ve honored her, encouraged her, I’ve chosen to see her as good. It’s been an intentional journey to really break down and know my body is good, just as it it. 

But just when I think I have evolved past being critical of myself I go to try on swimsuits and boom I’m back. This past weekend I went to try on swimsuits. It was a last minute decision and I just popped in a store. I talked to an associate and realized she was picking things and putting them into a fitting room for me. I could feel my pulse starting to race. Initially I was frustrated with myself for feeling insecure about trying on suits but then I remembered that this is a journey. I politely told the sales associate that I just didn’t think I was ready to try on. In the kindest way she said, it’s fine, I’ll mark some things down and when you feel ready just come back. 

I’m telling you this story because sometimes it’s easy to look at people who share their lives online and think they some how have mastered living themselves in a way that you can never achieve. The truth is that for many people it’s something we still struggle with from time to time.

Just remind yourself that like most things in life there is no medal for being the most secure person in the room. Give yourself grace and just repeat after me, my body is good just as it is.

Holiday Dressing Guide · October 12, 2018

It’s Never Too Early For Holiday Shopping

When I started thinking about writing this post I wondered if it was too early.  But then I started looking back on my old content calendars and realized that I was posting about holiday in the beginning of October so here we go.  The truth is there some great sales going on now so it is never too early for holiday shopping

The holiday party season is going to kick off in a little more than a month.  I know we have our first event scheduled on November 24th.  Some stores are using this time to sell remaining merchandise they had left from last year but many stores are already receiving holiday pieces.  It’s crazy how this year has just flown by.

My holiday shopping list is this…

  1. a splurge piece for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day
  2. 2 to 3 pieces that can be interchangeable with each other or with things I already own.
  3. a casual tee or leggings or something fun for casual event.

With that in mind these are a few of the things I have my eye on right now. {This post contains affiliate links}

This J.Crew Velvet skirt is one of my favorite picks for holiday.  Currently it is on sale on jcrew.com and Nordstrom.  This skirt would look fantastic with a blouse or sweater but you could also pair it with a tshirt for a more casual event.  I also love the waist of the skirt and the length.

Black  //  Vintage Gold  //  Gentle Sea

Tops I would pair it with:

White Tee  //  White Lace Crop Top  //  Faux Wrap Sweater

 

 

These pants are a great wear now and wear later piece.  On sale this week at Nordstrom.  These pants would be an easy piece to make a fantastic outfit with.  Black pants are always a good piece to have in your wardrobe but this fit is very on trend this season.  I like that they are also high wasted so you can wear them with the shorter length tops (crop tops) that are popular currently.

Black Pants 

What I would wear it with:

Tiffany Asymmetrical Blouse  //  Tie Front Faux Wrap Top  //  Topshop Asymmetrical Twist Top

 

This jumpsuit would be a great addition to your winter wardrobe.  I love the wrap top and puff sleeve.  The deep navy is such a rich looking color and this could really carry you from Thanksgiving to New Years Eve.  This jumpsuit isn’t on sale yet but the Chelsea28 brand is a great price point.  This piece is currently $149 on Nordstrom.com.

Jumpsuit

How I would style it:

Sheer Turtleneck  //  Ankle Strap Sandal  //  Earrings 

 

 

 

My long green Lulu’s dress from last Christmas was one of my favorite holiday dresses.  It was comfortable and easy to wear and it looked great with a belt or other accessories.  This dress is a different style but still has that same deep emerald green that I fell in love with.

Emerald Green Maxi Dress

How I would style it:

Faux Fur Vest  //  Rose Gold Bootie  //  Triple Starburst Earring

Pointy Toe Pump // Calf Hair Belt //  Gold Choker

 

 

The true holiday collections haven’t started hitting stores just yet but will in the next several weeks.  Keep your eye out for the deals and I will update you when I see new things that grab my attention!

XO,

Tippy
