Hello everyone!
Two things you should know about this coat: it’s my moms, and it’s from her insanely large collection of coats. To say she is obsessed with coats would be an understatement. She collects them and I’m sure she can fill up a closet with them. Anyway, she let me borrow this gorgeous one the other day partly because I am the complete opposite and don’t collect coats. It’s not that I don’t like them, I just don’t bother buying them because there is hardly any cold weather in Texas. (no shade, mom) lol
When I saw this coat on her, it stood out and I instantly imagined myself wearing it with sneakers, pumps, boots, you name it. It really is so versatile.
I wore it with my favorite dress pants (at the moment) from Zara and black pumps.
I paired them with a turtleneck from Target… can you believe it’s from Target?!
The handbag is also from Target, but you’ve seen that before. 🙂
and I know I’ve said this before, but lately I have been loving clothes & accessories from Target! They are stylish, priced right, and you can literally find them down the street on your way home from work (my favorite time to shop even though it’s not technically on my way home from work lol).
Details of this look: Ralph Lauren Wool Coat | Pink mesh Top | Zara trousers with ruffles Pants | Pumps (similar) | Who What Wear Handbag | BCBG Rings
Personal note:
I know you’ve probably heard this somewhere before.. but I’ve been so uninspired lately. Regardless of the “new year, new me” spirit flowing all around, I feel the same and with no motivation to change. I didn’t realize that many people go through these emotions as often as I do until I took a closer look at some personal blog posts and IG posts of people on my feeds. Okay, let me clarify that I know people go through these emotions. We’re all human. But I can truly appreciate how open people have been about their feelings lately. Perhaps the climate on IG and social media in general is changing and people truly want to express how they feel for the purpose of inspiring others or just to let us know that we’re not alone, and I appreciate that. When I started being a little more active on social media, I quickly realized I couldn’t keep up with the daily updates on my life, and more specifically with the “cute, IG worthy” moments. I have always preferred living in the moment and keeping most of these moments private. So, yes, it’s definitely been hard finding a good balance and figuring out what I want to share, when I want to share it. Unfortunately, though, this means I have to work extra hard to provide enough content to stay relevant in this ever growing community of aspiring bloggers. Which, by the way, makes me think of an episode of Black Mirror, Nosedive (S3,E1). If you’ve never heard of this show, you’re missing out! If you’ve heard and tried watching, but were like meh, try again with this episode. Even though it’s all fictional, this episode is probably the most relevant to our society today. It’s basically about a girl that tries to fit in and keep her “social media score” high by doing certain things that aren’t always what she wants to do. Much like our reality right now with social media. I don’t have thousands of followers so I tend to lay back and relax without a care in the world about my social media accounts, but there are a hefty amount of people really trying to make it out there and can probably relate more than me. These people have to get over these mundane feelings and create beautiful content. So, if you’re out there and can relate, please let me know how you feel. How do you remain motivated to create?
Thank you so much for reading!
Much love,
