Motivation Monday- Confidence

        Welcome to a new segment that I've decided to begin having every Monday until... well when I run of ideas. I can honestly say that this year is going to be one of the toughest years for my schooling and with that there comes many negative thoughts, but if you happen to read this hopefully my optimism will eventually allow you to feel the same. 

"Be Confident Wendy" 

          You have no idea how many times I've heard this from this particular one teacher. This was told to me many many times before, due to my lack of confidence in the work that I put out. I am still seemingly like that today, even when I put my best work forward, I go back to check and question whether the work was good enough in the first place. To be honest I don't believe that I will ever be 100% confident, but that's okay because I'm human! I will eventually crack and fall back into feeling insecure. If you happen to be reading this I would love for you to be able to see the beauty in everything that you are and even the mistakes that you "stupidly" make. Confidence is not going to pop out of unicorn dust and you won't be able to gain it easily. Through tough mistakes and the hardships you make you will adjust and look past your flaws and learn to accept them and conqueror them! You will then begin to have confidence in your decisions and yourself. If you are ever feeling like a lump of poo remember that life is so much more of a joyous adventure if you quit looking back at your actions and embrace flaws. Be confident in the fact that you, yourself, are not composed of the flaws or mistakes that you make, but rather who you will become from these mistakes.

 Confidence is women's (or man's) best attire. 

P.S- I understand that someone may disagree with my opinions and beliefs but to each their own.

Love of my Life & Outfit of the Day

           You were expecting to see an image of a man? Opps I'm sorry currently my heart belongs only to these little babies! It seems like you already know that by now ;). I started off my morning by getting some sweet treats to start my day. Let's be honest who wouldn't want macarons to start their day? Everyone or Everybody :P? I got my favorite flavors of Salted Caramel, Pistachio, and Coconut. They are just photogenic it's hard to resist NOT taking photos of macarons ... Well maybe it's just me.

                   I loved the weather that day. It was breezy and warm so why not break out some of my favorite clothing to sport such lovely weather? I wore my Brandy Melville Moselle sweater dupe that I got from Forever 21. I mean who would want to pay 60 when you can get a similar one from 23? I did wear Brandy Melville's blue floral crop top. I just love how this crop top screams Spring and the colors are so bright and fun contrasted against the creams. To finish off the outfit I paired the outfit with your everyday cream skirt. I was able to receive so many compliments wearing this outfit too!

P.S I also curled my hair, to complete the girly look, since it takes me crazy long to curl my hair so I can't curl it too often :(

Friendly Invasion

            It kind of nice to have friends who dress in similar tastes with you so you can "steal" their outfits! HAHA All jokes aside my friends and I always share each other's clothing, so it is kind of like I have a shopping mall for a wardrobe! One of my friend was so kind to let me borrow her kimono and tank top so I can create a similar outfit to the one she wore, but I add my signature key touches to it! She actually choose to wear this outfit  more casually with a pair of knit leggings letting the tank top flow down. Instead I decided to dress the outfit up a bit by wearing the tank top tied into a knot allowing for the high waisted portion of these shorts to appear! I also paired this outfit with a small dainty golden heart necklace. I am in love with the print of this kimono and thankfully for me my friend was able to spot it at her local Tillys (which I don't shop often at) so I would never been able to know about it! I loved my outfit so much and I know I will be borrowing this kimono more often!

10 Thousand Friends

               AHHH I just reached 10 thousand friends on Instagram just a few days ago and it is kind of breathtaking to see how far I was able to go. I cannot stress enough how thankful I am to have everyone's support and to have been able to make so many new friends, whether it be my lovely fashionistas or new friends that I have never gotten the chance to meet. It is kind of a crazy thing to know that some of these friends live half way across the globe while others live near me (literally several minutes away)! I'm so thankful for everyone who was able to encourage me to get this far and for so much more!

   

                  It's quite surprising to many to hear this but my favorite goal that I was able to reach was actually earning myself 1,000 friends. It's much more rigorous and being such a small account having those first few 1,000 supporting you is crazy enough! But to be truthfully honest the more you gain the more stressful it can be! There were times where I felt I wasn't good enough and there was better, what made me so special? To realize that there are always people encouraging me to continue was enough for me to do so even if I may not be the best ;) and that's a good type of change.

                There's numerous of times I nearly had a heart attack seeing my favorite fashion bloggers liked my photos or even decided to become my friend! It's extremely encouraging to see that those who inspires you are becoming closer to you this way! I've also been able to build such an amazing instagram family whom I adore each and every single member! 

Curiosity killed the cat! What's it like having 10 thousand friends?

1. It can get upsetting when you can't reply to everyone as fast as you can possibly especially on a tight schedule. I really wish I could answer everyone's such kind comments asap but with so many it's rather hard to do so.. which means I won't be able to reply until the next day or 2 :(!

2. There's almost always a new notification! Luckily for me I don't have a buzzer or anything once this happens!

3. Knowing you have 10 thousand friends some across the globe and others living near you is kind of a crazy yet neat thing! 

4. To be honest it's nothing really special or particular! I'm still me and thankfully this hasn't got to my head! I hope everyone realizes that even if you have 1 follower or 1 million followers, taking photos of what you loving and doing what you love shouldn't depend on the number of followers or likes you gain!
