Inevitable Changes: Peace Love and Excitement!

Life Changes

This weekend I woke up with such a sense of positivity and hopefulness.  I can't describe the feeling that I felt.  It was just this sense of overall peace  and well-being.  And something telling and reassuring me not to worry because everything will be alright.  To be honest I haven't felt this way in a while.  Over the past few weeks there's been a few challenges in my life, professionally and personally (i.e. Salmonella poisoning).  But despite what's happened and happening, I am so pumped about the direction life and this blog are headed in.  Which brings me too . . . .

Blog Changes

I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited about the new changes coming up to the blog, Resplendently Living. Can you tell how excited I am????  No seriously, y'all do not understand how pumped I am about the new content that we've got coming up.   I don't want to give it away because at this point, it's G14 Classified.  But what I can tell you is that there will be some cool new content and giveaways!  Yup!  I said GIVEAWAYS!  Now who doesn't love a good giveaway?   Ugh!  I want to share with y'all so bad . . . but I can't.  Just stick around because I know you are gonna love the new changes as much as I do too!!!

About My Look

In the spirit of change and renewal, I thought that wearing white would be super appropriate.  I used to be so afraid to wear white because of the old school rules I grew up with:  1.  Don't wear white before Easter.  2.  Don't wear white after Labor Day.  3.  Just don't wear white because it gets dirty.  And yada yada yada . . .But as I've grown older, I've learned that I truly LOVE wearing white.  How could you not love the crisp cleanness of wearing white?  Another thing I love is this outfit!   It's a two-piece with a little peek-a-boo mid-drift area and a fun criss-cross back.  The seersucker material is PERFECT for summer.  Jazz it up with a little color pop in your earrings and shoes and we've got a winner here.
