It has been quite a while since I have done an actual post on here. I updated all my missing outfits for the last 2-3 weeks but was not able to comment on them. Life got a little hectic at the end of volleyball season and into my wedding. I have come out on the other side of a successful wedding and hope to keep up better with my blog.
Through this time of my grandfather's funeral and my wedding, I have reevaluated what I find to be important. Although it is fun to post my outfit everyday and see if I can find ways to mix up my closet, I also want to add something more significant on my blog. I am going to start adding one thing I am thankful for or one positive thing that happened to me each day. In the hustle and bustle of life, it seems that it is far too easy to get caught up with the negative aspects of life. After my grandfather's passing and into my wedding, I was very down on life and upset that one of the most influential men in my life, would not be at my wedding. I was angry and felt that I was being cheated. He had never missed anything in my life. He was at all of my games, every concert, birthdays, holidays, graduations, everything; how could he not make it to my wedding?
After making it through our first holiday (Thanksgiving) and my wedding without my grandfather, I have a better perspective on life. He always taught us that life goes on and we have to keep living it, otherwise you just might die in your sleep.
Today, I am thankful for ALL of the time that I DID get to spend with my grandfather. I am thankful for those selfish feelings of wanting to have him at my wedding because that means that I had a strong, positive relationship with him, something many grandchildren cannot say about their relationship with their grandparents. I am thankful for all of the lessons he taught me and even more thankful that my husband had the opportunity to know him before he passed. I am thankful for my Grandpa Wilder!
Here is my outfit for the day. This new sweater dress was for our rehearsal dinner. I paired it with leggings and boots today because it is so cold!! I also wore gold jewelry because I really like gold and black right now.
Here is a closeup of my necklace and the details of the sweater.
These new boots are from Target (love that place)!!!
