Rough Beginnings But Happy Endings

purple

Hmm...This week was a tough one, but I am finally getting back to myself and returning to a more happy version of myself. Sometimes the worst thing you can do is let yourself go so far into a funk that you completely start losing sight of things that make you happy. I've had to remind myself that I'll be okay, but at some point I would start to lose it a little and become back in the dumps. I'm sure we all have those moments in our life, and I'm hoping I can finally put some of these thoughts behind me and move on.

I figured the best way to help brighten my day was to pick out one of my favorite dresses and then hightail it to work while sporting a better attitude. I really do love this dress and pairing it with a simple black cardigan and some flats with a hint of cognac looked very good to me. I also did my hair today:) I bought some fantastic Got2B hairstyling stuff and made myself a blowout to be proud of. So all in all, I could've had a terrible rotten day, but I decided for myself to wake up on the right side of the bed and give myself some confidence.

  2. I've been in a funk too lately. I'm glad to hear you're coming out the other side. I think I am too : ) And of course it doesn't help to dress the part!

  3. Great bag, Emily! I know what you mean about going through a funk. It's been pretty bad at my work lately, and that's really gotten me down. But you're right- sometimes you've just got to decide to have a good day and give it your best shot. :) Have a great weekend! I know I'll enjoy mine!

  10. oh, I'm so behind in my blog reading...I didn't know you were having a time of it. I'm so sorry! I can relate, and I shall say a little prayer for you and wish you some serious good fortune your way.

    You're looking so amazing by the way. not just this post, but the whole week. Great outfits and style. And are you sporting a vintage Coach bag? I believe we have the same one.
