Oh, hi! Remember me? It's been soooo long since I posted an outfit here on the blog.  Mostly because I despise the winter and cold temperatures and the mere realization that it is freezing out quickly ruins my mood whenever I decide to go out and snap outfit pics. I decided to basically get over myself and take pics last night because I do love documenting what I wore, for my own future reference, if anything.  I think it's important to be inspired by ourselves, embracing who we are, learning and growing on the way. 

 

I was looking back on old outfit posts from 2010 and realized that a lot of the pieces I wore are still in heavy rotation 3, almost 4 years later.  I almost grew irritated by that but then realized that I should be thankful that I am still content and confident in wearing those same items.  Sure I mix in newness here and there, but I have grown in accepting that it's ok to not run and buy the next new thing or feel the pressure of always having new items to wear.  That is pure growth on my part and that makes me very happy.

 

I am pretty smitten with obnoxious fur {or faux} items this winter.  Especially with a bright lip. I was complaining about the winter {as usual, lol} on Instagram and Eboni reminded me that the wintertime is pretty GLAM, and she is so right.  Fur, leather, luxe.... I am all about those things lately so the winter is good for something. :)
