Closet Update: July 2018

I was inspired by Paige from Style This Life to start documenting my minimalism journey better. In her closet updates, she … More

Hey #10x10friends, have you repeated any of your #summer10x10 outfits since completing the challenge?! I’ve worn this combo several times in the last few weeks. It’s a winner in my book 👍🏻 . . Someone must’ve said something about food for both mine and Jayla’s ears to have perked up 😋 Really gonna miss this pup! Only 9 more days of dog-sitting her 🐶 (but I have a feeling Brandon and I will try to fill that void sometime soon after... 😏) #pleblife

“Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear.” . . I’m sure we’ve all heard this quote many, many times throughout our lives. It wasn’t until this weekend that I really gave it much thought. On Saturday, I had the wonderful opportunity to help plan and participate in a gathering of @thisisvele muses and friends. We talked a lot about embracing fear so that we can achieve our dreams, and I admired the healthy and positive relationship that all the women seemed to have with fear. They all seem to run towards it, and also towards all the possibilities that could happen. . . I, on the hand, have such a different type of relationship with fear. Since as long as I can remember, I’ve been a fearful girl. I hate talking to strangers (though now I’m starting to see that as part of my introverted ways). Confrontation is torture. I’ve never been to Six Flags (even though I’ve lived in SoCal practically my whole life) because I really don’t like big rollercoasters. Fear does lead my life in that I run from it. If something’s scary, I’ll most likely go the other way. A lot of my regrets in life stem from being too afraid. . . Something that has helped me embrace fear a little more is having meaningful conversations like these. Too often we think we’re alone in our fear, but I’m here to tell you: YOU’RE NOT ALONE. I AM FEARFUL AND I DON’T ALWAYS HAVE IT TOGETHER! 💛 Even so, we are still worthy of love and still deserving to have our dreams come true. . . I have always wanted to pursue journalism, but as an undergrad, my dad told me that print was dying so I let that dream go and started my blog. It wasn’t until I met @tiffanycwong from @thisisvele that I realized my worth and that maybe, just maybe, I have something to offer with my words too. I’m so so so lucky to be working with them on their blog now. . . So lessons from this weekend: We’re all in this together so let’s embrace what scares us the most. . . What is your relationship with fear? 🌟 #pleblife

These last few days have felt extra toasty here in LA, and the @shopsuunday Gauze Dolman Top came just in time to get me through the last stretch of Summer (which let’s be real, means will last ‘til after Halloween)☀️ . . If you can’t tell, I’m really coming around to white tops (but only when it’s paired with black bottoms of course). It’s interesting how your style ebbs and flows isn’t it? I doubt you’ll ever see me in head to toe flax, but I’m quite enjoying the other end of the spectrum (and definitely sweating a bit less because of it 😂). Has your style changed at all recently? Or have you had any style revelations lately? // #pleblife #mysuundaybest #inmynisolos

“like wildflowers; you must allow yourself to grow in all the places people though you never would.” —E.V. . . Have an amazing weekend ahead you beautiful humans 💛 #pleblife

“Life is constantly reminding us about what we don’t have, but what about all that we do have? What makes you special? What do you have to offer the world around you? What do you enjoy? Find the things that you do love about yourself. THEY’RE ENOUGH.” 💛 . . This summer I’ve been really trying to focus on the word: enough. That I have enough. That I am enough. That I do enough. It’s definitely a word that I struggle to fully embrace all the time. Sure I can embrace it when I’m journaling in the mornings or when I’m in the midst of a gratitude meditation, but what about when I catch up with friends and hear their summer stories, and I feel lame sharing about my staycation? Or when I’m scrolling through Instagram and suddenly there’s an apocalyptic gap in my wardrobe for something I didn’t think about before I saw it on someone else? . . I know I might make it look easy to have a minimal or small wardrobe, but I’m here to tell you that it’s hard at times. Really hard. Especially when you constantly feel like you don’t have or are enough. And especially when you’re constantly looking at other women’s wardrobes. . . When I notice that I’m in this headspace, I try to spend more time offline, and yesterday afternoon, I did just that. And it was definitely a good start! Now I’m wondering: How do you do less comparing with envy and more admiring with contentment? #pleblife

“Peace begins from within, if you are not peaceful inside, the world you see will be chaotic.” . . I’ve been trying to be more intentional about my mornings—especially setting time away from social media. Often times, the first thing I do is check my phone—my emails, my Instagram engagement, and my Reader in Word Press—mostly because my phone is also my alarm clock (should probably do something about that). While I am trying to be better about celebrating others’ success rather than constantly feeling like it’s a competition, for me, it’s so hard not to compare yourself all the time (I mean the numbers there in bold make it too damn easy). I’ve spent a bit of time this summer also decluttering my digital space too so that it’s a more positive and encouraging place. But even then the comparison game is still hard to beat. So instead of starting off the mornings feeling like I’m not good/pretty/creative enough, I’ve been just trying to take some time for me: making my own coffee and breakfast at home; reading blogs or a book that do actually inspire me; and doing a bit of journaling. I’m not always 100% present during this routine but I’m trying to be. . . What are your morning routines? If you have any recommendations for morning journal or meditation books, I’d love to know! #pleblife
