Still a Up Hill Battle: Outfit of The Day

HELLO MY LOVELIES!!!   WELCOME TO MY NEW FOLLOWERS, as always THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FOLLOWING ME!!!

Yes you are seeing right, this is an outfit of the day post!!  I try people I really do try to make time to take pictures of my outfits, but in the evenings I am rushing home to workout, cook (hubby cooks sometimes), be wife and mommy, so trying to take 15 to 20min to take pictures isn't always feasible!!  Plus, I take my pictures at my parents house because by the time I get home I am coming out of my work clothes, not no picture taking. I am going to try to do better though, I really am!!  Let me tell you, these pictures almost didn't get taken though, I got my camera and stand all setup and guess what, my camera batteries died.  It was a good thing my sister was still there because I got her to take quick (and I mean quick) pictures (though not too clear) with her iPad before she left to go home.


 

Now another reason I haven't taken pictures of my outfits, I really haven't been motivated to really wear anything photo worthy.   The past 2 weeks I have been in a a little funk, I was having one of those moments, I wasn't liking how I looked in anything, I just wasn't feeling it.  I hadn't worn heels to work/church until Tuesday of this week, I just wasn't feeling beautiful or pretty.  I am still working hard to get this weight off and there are days when it doesn't seem to be coming off and I see no progress and that is where I have been these past 2 weeks, just frustrated.  However, I have a loving husband and God that both remind me how beautiful I am.  I totally love my husband; even with the insecurities I still battle with he looks at me and sees the most beautiful women in the world and that makes me feel AWESOME!!!





Yeah it's still an uphill battle for me, I am still on this journey to embrace the real me and continue to love the me that I see everyday.  Most days I am great, but I would be lying if I said some days weren't.  Hey I am human and I think being able to admit I still have those days ( even though few and far between) continues to help me.  It keeps me motivated to keep fighting and trying to be better overall. And again having support and love from family/friends is great, you need that. Even though you can do it by yourself, when you have support and someone there to push and cheer you one it makes it easier alot days.


So for those that are fighting to overcome anything or to better yourself keep fighting, keep pushing you can do it.  Get a support system that will be there to cheer you on and help you up when you falter.  Remove the naysayers and negative people because they are only there to try to keep you from succeeding.  If you use the negative people for anything let it be for motivation, let them talk and still watch you succeed!! :-)


Blue Jean Shirt: Sears,  Skirt: Thirfted,  Sandals: Bakers, Ring: Burlington Coat Factory,  Charm Bracelets: Tiffany & Co, Pandora (Jared's),  Beaded Bracelet: Made by Me



Everyone have a great day and keep pushing and moving forward into Your Greater Destiny!!!


TTYL!!!

  3. First off Carsedra love the jean shirt with this skirt...fab look!! Secondly, thanks for sharing and believe you me everyone have those days and I don't necessarily view it as a bad thing I think it sometimes keeps us grounded and puts things in perspective like "hey I am human";) or I really need to get down to brass tacks and correct whatever it is that has me feeling this way. Anywho, glad you were able to squeeze in some pics (tell sis gracias;) and you look fabu!!

  10. I think we all have those funks of some sort from time to time, but what a blessing it is to have God and a husband to remind you of your beauty because you are indeed beautiful!! I am glad that your sister saved the day because this outfit is super cute! I love full skirts with chambray tops, and then you tied it instead of tucking it in...yes!

  19. You look great! I get in those funks also, that's usually when I end up taking my a hiatus from posting. I think you look great and as long as you keep pushing yourself you will see results, try not to be so hard on yourself. Making the effort is already winning =)

    1. Thank you lady!! I started to take some time off to get my head together but decided to push through it. However, next time (let's hope it's not soon) I think taking time off would be a good thing not only to clear my head but to just take a break from it all!!
