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.

First, try things. You are going to be stuck if you always go with a comfortable formula. 

Second, if YOU think YOU look good then go with it. You don’t need someone else seal of approval.

Rules stifle creativity every time. Personal style Rules stifle creativity every time. Personal style is about trying new things and to be honest it’s about getting things wrong now and then. What do you think?  Are you pro color palette or pro trying anything?

Here’s Why Black and White is Perfect for Spring.

{This post contains affiliate links. All thoughts, ideas and opinions are mine.}

Few things are more classic than black and white. It’s crisp. It’s clean. It works well on most skin tones and it is easy to style. Black and white is also versatile through the seasons and will forever make a casual look a little more upscale.

Most of the time when you see the floral patterns of spring roll in you are moving the black and white out. Maybe it’s because it seems like spring and summer just need to be colorful and bright but I really feel like black and white still has it’s place.

No matter the season you will always need outfits for dressy occasions.

The dress I am wearing is from The Villa in Mandeville and one of my favorite spring looks. I wanted to give you a few options for black and white that you could get online.
