PINK Party For One Please!!     

 

Oh, I’m so excited you joined us today as Kelley @50shadesofstylebykelley and I continue our weekly series, Sunday Best & Holiday Dressed!

 

 

I am really enjoying this “let’s get dressed up” mindset each week with Kelley!  (Find Her Blog HERE)  We may be staying in more often but I am determined to continue finding ways to create joy and dressing up always puts a smile on my face!!

 

Kelley is on point as usual today!! Will you just look at that adorable bag!!  Her attention to detail is always present and I love this amazing color. So Gorgeous!!

 

 Oh how I love a statement piece!

 

This pink is such fun and would be fabulous at a party!! Add a little sparkle from ICraveJewels and You ARE The Partyyyy!  Be sure to check out ALL The Bling this brand creates!! Fabulous Quality and BEAUTIFUL craftsmanship!!  Sooo many Pretties that would make great holiday gifts!  

 

 

 

This bold pink is one of my favorite colors and – for reasons I know not – this train on this top makes me feel like a QUEEN!

Conquering the World ~ Not a bad vibe for Under THIRTY BUCKS!!

And of course, Spanx Leggings are always the favorite! I wear some form of Spanx a couple times a week at minimum. Some say they’re too pricey… I’ve had this pair for three years and they look brand néw and the fit is beyond compare! That’s $30 a year… I’d say quite AFFORDABLE!!  And, of course, everything looks better with heels! I’ve rounded up some of my favorite black booties HERE! All comfy and oh-so-chic!  

 

 

 

 

 

BEAUTY Within:

Are You A Steward Of The Storm 

I heard someone say this recently and it shook me up.

I was immediately reminded of so many storms I’ve been through.

I’m sure you have too – I think we’ve all been there. Feeling out of control, wondering when IT will end, unsure how to navigate and listing out the What Ifs…

I think one WHAT IF we can all identify with is the crazy of 2020 – Nearly NINE MONTHS and talk continues about where we’re heading with COVID. Your mind can absolutely take over… What If we all have to lock-down again, what about the economy, what about MY economy?!! Will I ever have a social norm- what about my extended family and sharing life with friends?! What if life is never quite the same ?! Yeah… It Can Be Overwhelming.

Well today I have a new “What If” for you! WHAT IF we focused on being Stewards Of The Storm instead of just trying to Stabilize Our Storm?!

What If we remembered that God doesn’t waste ANYTHING – That He can use it all for good!  What If we stood firm, remembering that He is faithful?! Trusting that nothing takes Him by surprise. What If We Became A Student In The Storm instead of becoming paralyzed with fear and anxiety?!

Yes, I realize that NO ONE wants to be where we are in 2020. I also realize that some days I AM Whining Louder Than Anyone as I get frustrated and weary of what 2020 has brought our way.

But I Am Determined To Finish 2020 Strong!! It’s simple really. Open your eyes each morning and realize it’s like opening a gift. Some gifts (days) are better than others and often the value of the gift is determined by the mindset of the receiver. As For Me… I’m Just Happy To Be Here (no joke) – grateful for every minute – the good, the mediocre and even the most difficult days can still hold precious moments. So, if you’re in a rough spot do your best to Steward the Storm and press on with a smile. Nothing Is Wasted With God. The Shadow Proves The Sunshine☀️

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have an amazing Sunday!!
