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.
