I’m excited to announce that I was chosen (again!) as one of the featured bloggers for Laura + Erin’s weekly linkup. Apparently they really liked my vest + shirt dress combo last week (HERE). Today I’m linking up with them again + hopefully they like these awesome Zara booties just as much!
I used to shy away from black + navy, but the more I mix it, the more I like it. I think it works best with classic patterns; stripes/plaid/checks, to keep it from being too overwhelming. This outfit was thrown together on a whim (like most of mine) + I love it! I actually wore the booties last night to a career fair 🙂
Do you ever go through phases of discouragement? It happens to me with this blog all the time. I’ll buy cheap pills feel uninspired + down on myself because I see other bloggers who are so much more successful than me that started blogging sooner than I did. But then I’ll get emails from potential sponsors, or make a new blogging friend, or receive a really heartfelt comment about the blog, and all my inspiration bounces back. I’m currently trying to worry less about how others are doing + focus on my own growth. As I’ve been told multiple times (thanks Casey!) “Never compare your beginning to someone else’s middle.”
A little food for thought. Do you ever struggled with being discouraged? Share with me below!

Yes yes yes! I think there are times that every blogger has doubts, compares themselves to another blogger, or thinks they are doing everything wrong. I’m guilty. I completely agree with not comparing your beginning with someone else’s middle. It’s so true but hard to think 100% of the time. You are definitely doing something right girl! I saw your picture on the Trend Spin link up and there is a reason why you keep getting featured. Keep your head up and keep being great!
Awe thank you so much! Comments like yours keep me inspired 🙂
Love this look!
