Well hello there! Long time no chat. I know, I know and I apologize, if any of y’all actually missed me?!
Have you ever had a moment where you start questioning every part of your life? Are you taking the right paths? Am you spreading yourself too thin? Is anyone actually paying any attention to what you’re doing? Are you wasting your time?
Let me start off by saying, I absolutely LOVE blogging. I love sharing with y’all my take on fashion, little tidbits of my life and my favorite brands! That has not and will never change. When I decided to take a little vacation, my love for the blogging world was not the reason. Honestly, I was feeling lost. I knew I loved the big picture of blogging, but was struggling with whether or not my thoughts were resonating with anyone. Was anyone actually reading? Did anyone actually care?
After a little soul searching, however, I have figured out the answer. WHO CARES. Even if my mom and grandma are the only consistent readers who are contractually obligated to read anything and everything I write, who cares?! It is a creative outlet for me that I absolutely LOVE doing. So, I am back with a vengeance and hopefully y’all are down for the ride!
With all that being said, let me share this look with y’all. It is one of my favorites as of late.

There is something about a great t-shirt that just makes my heart smile. When I can use a comfortable piece in a more dressed up way that is the definition of #winning. This tee is beyond soft, and under $15, and paired with a dark skinny jean and some good lookin’ heels, this instantly becomes the perfect look for after work drinks with your gal pals or a super cute date night.
For a single gal, finding the dreaded “first date” look is super hard. I get it! You want that effortless, I just threw this on and am not the least bit nervous to be on this date with you, look. The simple jeans and tee pairing show you’re low maintenance, while adding the fun clutch and pom show you’ve got a little something extra going on. I never shy away from the fact that I love clothes when hanging out with a man friend, but the secret is keeping the basics of the look approachable. You’ll come off confident and that is definitely intriguing, trust me.
