First let’s get into this look! I loved this look so much because it was chill yet still very feminine, and the first time I wore the two piece set that these shorts are apart of it was styled very different (super chill and comfortable), the first time I wore the shorts with the matching crop hoodie, my Hanifa shirt and some slides (here’s a pic) versus this time I did something completely different. I paired these super comfortable shorts with an open back silk shirt from Zara and these very cute sandals from Asos. I definitely played with the colors in the shirt and brought it all together with my accessories. To me style is truly about knowing how to style and wear your pieces different ways because we are not one wear wonders over here. Be comfortable, have fun, look cute and do real hot girl sh*t.

Now to what the post is actually about…

This summer has honestly been a vibe, everything isn’t perfect but my vibe right now is literally just living life. Whether that’s saying yes to every trip that comes my way (because why not), waking up and doing what I want because I have freedom, learning different things about myself, trying to be better at giving myself breaks because I do work hard and I deserve them, telling myself that I don’t have to feel like I have to conquer the world everyday to feel accomplished, having fun with no worries everyday if I want and kicking my feet up and going with the flow while simultaneously working towards my goals.

Sometimes we have to sit back and realize that we’re right in the middle of the things we used to dream about and pray for and the reason why we may feel like we should be doing more is because we’ve done so much and haven’t stopped to even realize or congratulate ourselves because we’re too deep in the work. The summer is ours for the taken and it’s made me realize even more that we aren’t meant to just work ourselves to death but also enjoy the fruits of our labor.

I hope you’re enjoying your summer, because you deserve. It’s okay to have off days but make sure you pick yourself back up.

As we get older we get better, age is what you make it not the number of years you are
Take time to reflect on where you arer because 9 times out of 10 its further than you used to be
Don’t be afraid to evolve into different versions of yourself
Take time to do nothing
Just because you may not be busy right not doesn’t mean you’re available or have free time
Take a deep breath
You won’t get everything done on the list everyday, its fine
Don’t box yourself in
You’re the first you, do wtf you want
You literally have the freedom to do whatever you want if you decide you’re the one in control. You just can’t be scared to take risks

Many thoughts go through my head on a daily basis but these are 10 that I wanted to share. Everyday we grow and realize something different about ourselves or life, you’re in charge of your life and you have the power and ability to change whatever you don’t like at anytime you just have to get started. Limitations are sometimes things you put on yourself, don’t let something that you can end at anytime have control over you.
