.my why.

today I thought I’d share ‘my why’ .. my reason for blogging.


at the chloe digital conference I attended last week we discussed a lot about ‘our why’ and the purpose behind why we do what we do. typically when I share my blog story, I begin by sharing why I started in the first place, but it isn’t exactly the same reason I keep doing it today. 


I love sharing my outfits, I have always been asked when I go places where I get my clothes/shoes/etc. and so it naturally made sense that I would document and share that information on a larger platform. 


in high school I tried SO many styles, I wore a wide variety of things and experimented with my hair colors and styles too – high school was a time where I (like everyone) was trying to figure out who I was and what I liked. at times (here I am 10 years later) I am STILL figuring that out – however I feel I have a much stronger sense of my own personal style and who I am. 


I’ve always been drawn to classic pieces, my favorite brands are J.Crew, Kate Spade and Burberry – very preppy based, classic silhouettes that play with color and pattern. literally my style in a nutshell! 
as much as I enjoy prints and colors, I’m also cautious about what looks good on me, and what I know I can get the most wear of in my wardrobe. I enjoy putting together pieces in my closet in a variety of ways. I’m not kidding, when I get dressed if I’ve worn a skirt I try really hard to pair it with a new top and shoe combination every time I wear that skirt. it’s like a fun game for me, and it really pushes me to use my wardrobe in the biggest way I can. 


so this is something I love sharing with you – how to style your wardrobe to get you the most use of your classic / fun pieces! I feel like I’m almost there as far as having a minimalist attitude however, I just love shopping too much so I own too much to be considered having a ‘capsule wardrobe’. but I really do find joy in doing more with less. maybe one day I’ll commit to a capsule wardrobe. 


another avenue of why I do what I do is I didn’t see anyone doing what I’m doing, I don’t see women dressing modestly anymore. I want to be someone that girls and women can look up to – someone who is a beacon of that light. someone that my daughters will be proud of and excited to be like. I think I was given daughters so that I could ‘be confident’ and own who I am. I needed that boost, the boost that I know there are at least 2 little girls who need someone strong to look up to. that gives a lot of responsibility but also hope and I just feel love for the girls of the future. they are going to do GREAT things. 


don’t get me wrong, I love catching a deal but I also care about brands, luxury and quality. so I’m all about sharing how I get ‘the designer look for less’ and my tricks and tips for saving money on those higher end brands. because let’s be real – I am still a major fashionista at heart – and even though it’s not practical everyday for me to be decked out in high heels and designer bags – I sure do love to dream!  


fashion is about having fun and expressing yourself and so my biggest advice is to just ‘own’ what you love. if you want to wear Star Wars tees and a tulle skirt together – babe you do it! if you want to be head to toe black – you rock that too! if you like pink and flowers like I do? then girl you wear it every single day (like I do lol) but really! there is no right or wrong when it comes to your confidence. if you’re happy and comfortable it will exude to everyone around you.  


my why is that I LOVE sharing my tips and tricks for pairing things together, getting fabulous deals on brands and being a positive role model for women! 


no matter what you do, figure out your why! 
why do you do what you do???? 


thanks for reading all the love for you guys, have a blast this weekend!
