i know i know. i am have been a little MIA this week. but i think most people can understand why. uh hello.. i have been preparing for Christmas, and i get a little (lot) out of hand when i have permission to shop. i have a reason to shop excessively for the ones that i love, and i take full advantage of it. my love language is definitely gifts. sorry if that makes me shallow.
but anyways.. this outfit is easy, and i think its honestly geared more towards spring, but the day i wore this, we were having a warm winter/late fall day and i thought.. what the heck. i hate cold weather, so i dress for hot weather whenever i possibly can. this entire outfit is from shein. website is linked HERE. i am almost positive this entire outift is under $70 too. yeah i know. i am in college, i have to be fashionable under a small budget. also the cutest man wanted to be in the shoot, i couldnt tell him no. obviously. he was the sweetest!
as i have been preparing for Christmas, i keep getting little reminders of what this holiday is about. i get so consumed on picking out the best gift for every single person, and making sure they are going to love it and its going to be the right size and that they dont already have it or something like it. but the biggest issue i come in contact with is the money side of everything. yall. if i had an overflowing bank account, everyone would be getting cars and new houses. but thats just not real life. luckily the people in my life are sooo good. i mean so good. i am surrounded by loving friends and family, that couldnt care less about the presents they receive. yes presents are always nice to get. hello love language over here. but i am starting to realize that presents really have nothing to do with Christmas. Christmas is about the birth of JESUS. not about us. not about our gifts or who brings the best dessert to Christmas Eve. its all about him. celebrating his life, his love, his beginning. Jesus really is the reason for the season. so i challenge you to the same thing i am challenging myself to. to focus on him especially on this day. everyone loves to be celebrated. even Jesus. so take time out of the day to love on him, celebrate hm. thank him. get in his presence and stay there. i know its easy to get caught up in the chaos of the day. but let his presence make it peaceful.
i hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas.

all my best always

(the shirt runs a little big. i ordered a medium and its pretty big, but i like my tops to fit that way. also the stripes are not as big as advertised.)
(i ordered a medium and they fit perfect. i wear a size 25/26 in most other jeans for reference)
(i would size up a half size with these shoes. just personal preference. they run exact true to sizing, and with slip on shoes, i like a little room)
