Hey everyone! These pants return to the blog for a second time. This time around I paired it with a sheer ruffle top that is also from Zara. I’ve always been a wee bit hesitant on rocking sheer anything because of the fear that it looks “too revealing”. But I personally feel that this number, because of all the ruffling in the center, hides the “goods” just enough. 

The week before last, I was in quite a rut. Ya know when it feels like nothing seems to be working out in your favor and you aren’t sure what to do anymore?? That’s exactly where I was at. To feel that you are putting 110% in and getting about 0.5% back is frustrating to say the least. I wasn’t feeling like my consistency was paying off in any way and I had it!

I’m really trying to train myself to go to God before going to anyone else. To vent my frustrations and sadness to Him. We should feel comfortable enough to be 100% honest with our Creator. He already knows what’s good, so not saying anything is doing a disservice to yourself. Cry if you need to, yell if you want to. But let it out. Then, get back to work. Your sadness and anger come from a place of passion. You want whatever it is so badly that it stirs up some serious emotion. So go back to creating, to writing, to speaking, etc. Let your consistency continue to do the talking for you. Let God see that you are working out what you’ve been tasked with.
