Howdy friends! The moods and spirits are high over here because we just have three more days until Christmas break! I am so excited and ready!
Last week I asked for feedback on my blog. I've been at the blogging world for over 10 years and my blog hasn't changed too much. I like it that way. I know most other people have gone on to rebrand themselves, make money off their social media presence, or stick to a regular posting schedule. Then there's me. While I may not be a pro at this, I do want to write about things that first I truly care about and feel appropriate for my personality type to delve into in such a public space. For example, I'm currently (once again) working on some big health goals but instead of blasting my weight and every detail of my journey on the blog I'm just going to give the big picture in a later post for now.
Second, I also really want to post what you all want to read! There are a couple of blogs that are written like a conversation with a friend that I frequent and leave feeling rested, understood, and like I've leaned in close with a like-minded person. That's how I want this space to feel. So with all that said, something that has really been a mood-booster and game-changer for me this year is getting dressed for work! When I used to be a stay-at-home mom I didn't put a lot of thought into my outfit most days and I'm now wishing I could go back and have myself try it! Even "just" for myself or those around me at home. Put quite simply, I just feel better when I put some effort into what I'm wearing. Like a LOT better. Call it vain if you want, but this highly sensitive gal will take anything healthy that makes me feel good and run with it.
Here are my outfits I'm loving lately! Most things were bought on sale, thrifted, or purchased at Cheap Thrills or 410 Vintage. Of course, Old Navy is still a favorite for pants too.
(That dirty mirror! It gets better as you scroll more, lol.)

Shirt from Wal-Mart!
This green vest has come in SO handy! I can literally wear it over just about anything. I bought it at J.C. Penney's before school started and got it on sale.
I still love a dress. Clearly, I also love a jean jacket too!
I shrunk my dark-rinse jacket and am so sad. Time to look for another at the Goodwill!
This dress is from the Old Navy outlet. I really like it! I did notice this week the sleeve was starting to tear a bit. :( I need to figure out how to fix it! The fabric is just so flimsy.
Date night!
These shoes are from Shoe Carnival. I ran in there with the girls over Thanksgiving break and was very pleasantly surprised at how cute and comfortable their shoes were! Plus you can't beat the buy one, get one half. I hadn't been in that store in years but will definitely be back.
I found this shirt at the Ann Taylor outlet in Branson for $12. Dressing cute and not spending a lot takes time and effort. But I'm finding the rewards are well worth it!
Do you find dressing happy makes you feel happier too?
Want to see more of these posts?
I've got a lot of blogging lined up and I hope you'll stop in.
Thankful you're here.
