2019 Winter Fashion Favs!

Winter Fashion Favs 2019

Anyone else day dreaming about Spring and Summer?  Day dreaming about wearing dresses and shorts.  Oh….only a little over 2 more months till Spring.  However, here in Indiana it doesn’t really get Spring until May.

I do have some Winter Favs to share with you.  They meet my top two C’s: Comfy and Cute!

How would I describe my style? Comfy, loose but fitting, and a mix of patterns!  If that fits you, I’m sure you will love these finds too!

1. Polka Dot Old Navy Top

Polka Dot Top from Old Navy - Winter Fashion Favs 2019

I love Old Navy!  I think this shirt is perfect for feeling warm like wearing a sweatshirt but still looking like you actually tried today.  I think the ruffles add a great detail as well!  I think it will be perfect paired with a pair of jeans and boots.  A great comfy BUT cute date idea to wear on a date for Valentines Day with my hubby.  

2- Vest from Cato’s

Vest from Cato - Winter Fashion Favs 2019

I guess simple would be another great word for my style.  I do not really care for complicated outfits anymore and I love versatile pieces.  Pair this with a black shirt and jeans and I think you just took a simple look up a notch!  I’ve also worn this with a black T shirt dress!  I think it’s a great accessory to add to simple outfits.

3 – Leopard block top from Filly Flair

Leopard Block Top from Filly Flair - Winter Fashion Favs 2019

This is my go to shirt when I want to dress up a pair of jeans!  It is SO comfy!  It has a small knot already tied in the front.  ( I have no skills in tying a knot for myself.  It just ends up looking weird when I do it.). 

4. Cardigan/Kimono from Filly Flair

Kimono/Cardigan from Filly Flair - Winter Fashion Favs 2019

Seriously y’all go check this boutique out!  I think this cardigan is great to add to a simple top and jeans.  I think it will be perfect to keep in my spring collection and add to some simple T shirt dresses.

5- Cardigan from Old Navy

Cardigan from Old Navy - Winter Fashion Favs 2019

I hope my camera does this cardigan justice.  It has more of a pink hue.  It so so soft and warm.  I recently wore this to church with a T shirt dress.  I had to take it off because I was sweating!  Soft and warm!  It is perfect for this frosty January

I hope y’all have enjoyed looking over my Winter Fashion Favs.  If you have any current Favs, leave them in the comments below!  I’m always looking for new comfy, cute clothes!

Some Days You Just Need to Smell like Jimmy Choo

Jimmy Choo

I don’t know about y’all but here lately, I feel like I’m in a constant rush, that I will never catch a break. It’s not that I have one big thing I am working on.  But that I feel like I have 50 million other things going on at the same time. My job, family events, church responsibilities, being a wife, trying to keep my house looking nice, all while still trying to have a little fun out of life. It can all feel a little overwhelming at times. Throw kids in the mix and it makes it all seem almost impossible. I don’t know how moms keep sane; seriously I believe y’all have super hero powers or something. 😉

But as I was rushing out the door the other day to go run errands, I threw on a pair of Old Navy sweats. Right when I was rushing out of the room, I took a quick second and sprayed my most expensive perfume I own. Jimmy Choo L’eau. While I was spraying this, I thought what in the world am I doing. Here I look like a bum with my hair all a mess, but I’m wearing my nicest perfume.

Then it dawned on me. It’s okay, and it made me feel special. Just my few sprays of this made me feel more put together.

All of these thoughts came into my mind and a smile spread across my face. If I want to be a nice smelling bum that’s okay, if I want to be stylish and well put together, that’s okay. It’s okay to not be perfect.

Often times as women, we feel pressured to look a certain way when we leave. If we go out in sweat pants we almost feel a since of guilt, like we should have invested more time in our busy schedule to look better.

Why do we feel we should apologize for wearing sweats or looking a certain way? I know I’ve done it. When I arrive somewhere and I’m like “oh sorry, I was just in a rush.” Or when we text our friends to make sure they are going to join our sweat pant trend today.

One thing I am learning in life is that being imperfect is one of the best ways to show your true beauty. The Bible says

 

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” –Proverbs 31:30

 

Once again, and almost daily, I am having to remind myself that true beauty comes from the inside and shines out.

So if you want to wear sweatpants and spray your most fancy perfume to feel better, do it! If you want to wear a stylish outfit but don’t feel like wearing makeup, don’t feel that you have to wear makeup.

Lets start a new fashion and beauty trend of loving ourselves and dressing how we feel, not how the magazines or movie stars tell us to dress.

Be you and wear what makes you happy and comfortable.

Spray your Jimmy Choo and enjoy your day 😉
