So I am about to get real here for a second. I have a confession to make.  This girl…struggles with self doubt A LOT.  Yep.  It’s weird right?  I put myself out there on social media daily and I question it just about every time.  Was it the right image?  Was it the right time?  Whatever it is, typically I am wondering whether or not it will be ‘liked’.  And y’all…the struggle is real.  When I doubt things on the blog, it carries into my day-to-day work life.  When I doubt things at work, it carries into the blogging part of my life.  Then I am stressed when I get home and it carries into my personal life.  It is hard!  Serious struggle.  WELL, this week, I tried to kick that self doubt in the face.  And I feel like I kind of succeeded.  This week I took a chance on something that was a little bit out of my comfort zone.  When I made this decision, the little self doubt troll was screaming in my ear and saying I was not good enough.  They wouldn’t like me.  I should just stop trying.  And you know what…I shut him down.  (As best I could anyway.)  I went forward with my task and now…I feel good about it.  No matter what the outcome, I took the chance and believed in myself so with that, I say cheers to the weekend and to kicking that self doubt in the face.

So, I love a good maxi dress.  For whatever reason, when I am shopping for dresses, I start with the maxi selection.  It is funny though because I rarely commit to them.  I feel like I have less opportunities to wear them I guess?  I am not sure but I do always start there and end up with something else.  With that being said, when we were prepping for our recent beach trip, I knew I wanted a good maxi to take with me.  This was a weekend for JL and I to relax and have date nights, so I wanted to feel pretty…which meant starting with a maxi dress.
