Hi Loves! 

Hope everyone is having a great week so far. 

I keep getting the same question at work now... What are you doing, why are you glowing so much? It's something different about you!" and I always smile and reply, "I guess happy looks good on me." 

Tapping into who you really are brings such a joy in your every day life, especially at work. If I could give any advice to the younger me, it would be to love YOU and put YOU first! I was once the girl that put everybody else's happiness first. That only caused me to stunt my growth. Some of the very people you helped along the way are happy, growing and enjoying their lives (while you remain the same, very unhappy). Your negative thoughts will be replaced with positives ones so you never have to worry about many bad days ahead of you. For example, I used to be the type that went to work and absolutely hated being there. I hated dealing and interacting with so many different personalities. Since this new found happiness, I enjoy going to work and talking to different types of people because they have taught me so much about myself (and how to deal with people!). 

I learned to take in all the good and throw out the bad! Things will go wrong, people will be mad, but I must always remain the same. I also learned that you must determine the proper time to use the words "No" and "Yes." At one time I was ALWAYS using the word "yes" as a response to everything (then beat myself up later for it.) I learned the hard way that "no" MUST be added to your vocabulary without feeling guilty! I took these work lessons into other aspects in my life and the results are very rewarding!

I finally feel like it's my time to shine and I'm doing everything it takes to exceed my goals, all while looking and feeling my best :)

Xoxo,

The Sky's the Limit: Monochromatic Style

Happy Wednesday!

 

Confession....I'm addicted to wearing the color blue! People usually wear blue when they are "feeling blue."  Not I! I've been wearing it a lot as a reminder to myself that the sky is the limit!

 

Often times we get so caught up in life that we allow doubt to overpower us, causing us to set boundaries on the things that we can achieve. We must remind ourselves that we CAN make it!

 

For this reminder, I wore blue with a twist: Monochrome Style! A monochrome style includes different shades of the same color. 

 

I wore two shades of blue with edgy acessories (since I loved them so much in the previous post).

 



“Seriously, if you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else; it'll spread over into the rest of your life. It'll spread into your work, into your morality, into your entire being... There are NO limits. There are plateus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.” 

~Bruce Lee

What I Wore:

Top: Arden  B (Old)

Bottom: Bebe

Shoes: Christian Louboutin (So Kate)

Bag: Aldo (old)

 

Never underestimate the power of the positivity! Our thoughts create our world so don't allow your mind to become your limit! Stay postive, always!

 

Xoxo,

I Got the Blues

Hi Ladies!

 

I hope all is well. If you work over an hour from home, then you understand my pain. Many days I feel blue in the mornings. I can't help but think about the amount of traffic or lame drivers on the road.  (BLAAAHHHH!!)

 

On the worst days, those days when I feel sluggish, I throw on different colors to change my mood. What better colors to combine than different shades of blue?? The lighter shade of blue (shoe/necklace color) is my absolute favorite color to wear, especially when it comes to color blocking. I have to tell myself not to wear them daily, but of course I never win. Somehow, I manage to find a way to incorporate them into any work outfit.

 

I often find myself motivated by the quote, "If you don't like something, then change it!" I hated feeling blue every morning, so I played with different colors to improve my mood :)

 

Be Inspired!

 

Xoxo,

 

Honeyy

 

 

P.S.

 

I love a simple dress for work. I just add blazers and accessories to change them up. This makes them very versatile. For example, this dress is also my sexy, elegant party dress. I wore it to my grandmother's 70th birthday party! (One of my favorite looks!)
