Smoothies

Hi everyone! Sorry it has been awhile since my last post. Unfortunately I got pretty sick this past week, but I'm finally getting over it! YAY :) It always stinks to get sick around spring time. 

So this outfit reminded me of smoothies. I was going for a very summer-like, spring-ish outfit, because, after all, we're already at the end of March! Thank goodness. Smoothies always remind me of spring, because I'm used to getting them during vacations or times at the beach. Summer has such a wonderful nostalgia about it, and I tried to convey that in a more elevated level in this outfit. Sadly, summer seems to bring another, more negative, feeling ~ insecurity. Shedding winter layers and trading blankets for beach towels can be great, but along with that also comes the self esteem issues many of us battle in shorts or bathing suits. It's not just one thing in particular; we all have many random, weird things about ourselves that we don't like showing when 3/4 of our bodies are revealed in public. Actually, over 80% of women do not feel confident in a bathing suit, which is just awful! It happens to all of us though; you, me, your friends, your family, even the hottest Victoria's Secret model. And honestly, it's a terrible feeling. But we should try to overcome it. So when it's time for you to pull out your bathing suits, try them on and realize all that you truly have to offer. Go to the beach and walk with no shame, because you're all beautiful inside and out. There are so many people out there complimenting you behind your backs, envying your beauty the way you may envy theirs! Maybe we should be straight-forward about it, complimenting others rather than being jealous of what they have that we don't. It's a difficult thing to do (I get jealous very easily, trust me) but maybe we should give it a shot. You're all gorgeous in my eyes... Here's to a summer full of smoothies and confidence in bikinis :) 


Stay happy <3
