I had a few decisions to make today. Do I brace the rain with an umbrella, hat or a headband? Umbrella seems like the logical choice, but that was in my car (as is, my typical luck) so that left two options: hat, or headband. Since I wore a hat yesterday, I wanted to change it up and wear a headband.

I love days when a good song is stuck in my head. Fortunately, today this song was “White Blank Page” by Mumford and Sons. This song is definitely in my top 5 favorite songs ever (and it’s incredible live.) When I woke up to this song today, I took it as a sign to wear my Mumford and Sons t-shirt I bought at their concert this time last year. I will always remember that night because it was one of the best i’ve ever had and it all last minute. Honestly though, how can you beat awesome music with one of your best friends? You can’t.(Thanks again, Travis, and ps…we’re going again!!!)

Today started with one of my best friend’s bridal shower. It was incredibly fun and the whole wedding process is just exciting. So, congrats Ashley!
Moving on, today I learned an incredibly valuable lesson. You must find the good in every single situation you face. I know this seems a tad cliche, but it’s true. I know first hand that life does not always go according to your plan, but with that, I have learned you need to keep pushing for what you really want. I refuse to settle in any aspect of my life and the one thing that keeps me going is having faith and knowing it will all work out how it’s meant to be.
I have found that finding the good and being the positive when it seems there isn’t at all helps to conquer the negativity. Yes, it can be difficult being the better person, but having this mentality will lead your farther and make you feel better at the end of the day. And honestly, who wants to be miserable? I’m not saying you need to ecstatic all day, but if you’re upset about something, find something to make you smile. This leads me to my outfit today.

Today, I am breaking a fashion rule, one that you really need to be careful with. We have all seen the terrible memes, but if done correctly, you can do this. You CAN wear leggings as pants. Take caution, because there is a right way to do this.
First, if you’re going to try to pull this look off, I think its better if the leggings are printed because it gives the leggings more of “pant look” versus just the typical “yoga style.” Next is probably the most important part…wear a shirt that is LONG in the back because otherwise, it’s just not an attractive look on anyone. Because leggings do not typically have back pockets either, this is another reason longer shirts are a must when trying to wear these as pants. I also like to wear longer sweaters to pull this look off.

Today it started snowing…again. I love the snow for Christmas, but once the holiday is over, I’m ready for the snow to be gone as well. But, I can’t control the weather, but I can control how to handle it. So I decided to embrace it with my winter must-have. An oversized comfy sweater. I like to buy these a size or two larger for added comfort, this way too, they are long enough to wear with only leggings, like I did today. You can also wear oversized sweaters with jeans, but if I’m doing comfy, I’m going all the way and keeping with leggings. A sweater really is a winter staple, and this color is a neutral so that makes it great and versatile for different colored leggings or even jeans.
