Ready-For-Spring Bag

Today I'm featuring my favorite tote: my huge, green, Melie Bianco bag! I scored this sweet crossbody at one of their sample sales. I highly suggest you follow their Facebook page to find out when the next one is. I must have bought 6 bags that day!

This morning, I woke up with a specific plan in mind for today's blog. Everything pretty much went out the window when my insecurities hit and hit hard. See, for my personal style blog, the photo session is the most daunting part for me. This is mainly because I do it on my own. I don't have a photographer living with me; I have been using the self-timer. I don't have a stylist; I have to guess that everything is in place before the camera snaps. Then add the normal "girly" insecurities of how I look in front of the camera - BLEH.

In the middle of what would have been a disasterous shoot, I changed my mindset. I realized "Hey, this is MY blog and I should just relax and be me." I mean after all, this blog has just begun and I'm pretty sure 75% of my readers are my awesome friends that already know who I am and what I look like. No more trying to do "Blue Steel"! Obviously, I am no model so why even pretend to be.

Being honest with yourself is probably one of the best things you can do in life. That's the only way you'll know what you need to make better, right?
