WEDDING GUEST INSPO UNDER $100

February 4, 2020

DRESS | HEELS

Today’s post will be short and sweet, but I wanted to round up some Spring wedding guest inspo + last minute Valentine’s Day outfit ideas on the blog today! (More Valentine’s Day options HERE) The dress I’m wearing above is by far my favorite, and I actually didn’t realize just how much I’d love it. You might be seeing this cute piece more than once! 🙂 I recommend sizing up because it is tight, but the fabric is thick and holds everything in. Lol!

I leave for Miami Thursday morning, and I’m SO excited! I’ve never been before, so please leave me your recommendations! I normally have the entire schedule planned, but this trip snuck up quick. I’ll be recapping everything on the blog in the upcoming weeks!

XOXO

TWEED SET + MY ENNEAGRAM TYPE

January 27, 2020

I know I’m late to the party, but I finally took the enneagram test! I am a type 7, which was no surprise to me. The most interesting part of the results was that it revealed what your typical behavior at great, normal, and poor levels! Basically, how you act at your best and at your worst. Overall, Sevens are extroverted, optimistic, and spontaneous! With these traits, it’s easy for Sevens to become over-extended, scattered, and exhausted though. They can also have issues with impatience and impulsiveness!

The deeper I dived into this information, the more I realized how fitting the type 7 was to me! From the good traits to the bad, every single one made sense. At some point, I was reading an article that told me how most sevens think, and I had never realized it was how my brain worked until now! Their basic desires are to be satisfied and content and basic fears are being deprived of and in pain. This hit very close to home!

The Enneagram Institute further mentions how Sevens are super enthusiastic and approach life with curiosity, optimism, and a sense of adventure! They choose to do things that stimulate their minds and that’s why they usually have a lot of tasks happening at once. I related to this because I always have a mile long to do list, and I get a natural high from being busy! It’s hard to turn my brain off some nights! Haha.

Another trait of a type 7 that resonated with me is how indecisive most of us are. We are so worried about making the right choice that we cause ourselves anxiety! THIS IS ME. Especially when I’m traveling, I have to have THE perfect itinerary. I want to go to all the best, most popular spots! I don’t like being idle because it makes me feel like I’m wasting precious time! Sevens yearn for freedom and satisfaction, which can be a negative thing sometimes.

 I could go on for DAYS about my enneagram type because I LOVE psychology and understanding how my mind works! It’s crazy to me that so much goes on in your subconscious that you don’t even know about. Or you don’t realize at first! Apparently, most Sevens use rationalization as a defense mechanism aka they love to justify things to make themselves feel better. Another point that is very spot on!

This blog post just got SUPER long, but it wasn’t intentional! Haha. I just thought it would be fun to share more about being a type 7 since it helps y’all get to understand me better! This might even require a part 2 once I do more research! 🙂 If you want to take the enneagram test, I will link the free one I did HERE!

PS: I planned to talk about this pink tweed set more, but just know it’s worth EVERY penny! And it’s actually super affordable. My mom thought I spent hundreds on it judging by the quality and fit! I think it’s the perfect mix between Jackie O and Elle Woods! 🙂

XOXO

If you made it this far, congratulations! Lol. This post is slightly longer than normal, but I wanted to make sure all my outfits from Austin were linked in one place! I seriously had the best time with that group of girls, and I’d go on another trip with them in a heartbeat. I didn’t want to bore you guys, so I am breaking the Austin trip into two blog posts: the outfits I wore and what we did/where we ate! The second part will be posted on Wednesday. I included sizing details above as well as links to clothing and accessories! Let me know if you have any other questions. Have a great week! 🙂
