Good Morning readers! Wake up and smell the roses! When my photographer, Casey sent over these images to me last night and I saw the photos of me smelling the beautiful red rose I of course thought of the saying “Wake up and smell the roses.” The timing of that couldn’t have been more perfect. With Thanksgiving right around the corner it’s time to take a look around and reevaluate your life. What are you thankful for? What makes you happy? What doesn’t? And what can you improve on?
Right now I’m thankful for a bed to sleep in, this crisp cold weather, and all of my supportive friends, family and boyfriend. Something that makes me happy is every night before I go to bed I look forward to waking up in the morning because I get to have a cup of coffee. I don’t know about you, but for me drinking a cup of coffee is lot like waking up and smelling the roses. It gives me time to stop, think, relax and if you will put my life on pause for a few moments each morning. Something that makes me unhappy is all of the little critters running around above my ceiling and keeping up all night! I swear it sounds like this animal is literally trying to cut through my bedroom wall with a mini handsaw. I’m not even exaggerating! A mini handsaw!! Not to worry though I’ve already called the pest control. Something I can improve on is better prioritizing my time. Who’s with me on that one?
As for the outfit, I am just in love with the beautiful intricate embroidery on this poncho sent to me from Johnny Was. It’s such a great casual piece to wear with booties and leggings during the fall or with white denim jeans during the spring and summer. For this particular outfit, I decided to put a little spin on this boho chic top by pairing it with a pair of Citizens of Humanity leatherette rocket skinnies, which by the way are currently my most comfortable pair of jeans right now!
