Authenticity

I don’t want anyone to ever look at my blog and feel like I am not telling the whole truth. The thing is, my life isn’t perfect!

I took these pictures by myself right before walking into my FOURTH job interview. (I originally nailed an “Open Contract” which means the district wanted me bad enough that they signed me giving me an absolute job, turns out, even though I was for sure working in that district, didn’t mean I wouldn’t get rejected by some schools in the district!)

I have more “I hate my hair days” than not. I refuse to take blog pictures on days where my hair has not been done. I can’t stand washing it because it means it will look “bad” for at least half the day while its drying/being done.

I struggle with my weight and body image daily. It is hard growing up and realizing your high school body that was once easy requires work now.

I have a really hard time with social interactions sometimes. They wear me out. I can’t handle making phone calls, especially for appointments. Sometimes I won’t commit to hanging out with friends because I don’t know if I will want to interact when that day comes. Sometimes I refer to myself as an introvert. Other times I realize it’s social anxiety. Either way, I prefer to stay home on weekends with my hubs than go out and hit the clubs.

Overall, I just want anyone who reads here to know that I am not, do not think, nor do I want you to think, that I am perfect.

When posting online, we just tend to present what is pretty. No one likes a Debbie downer! I want to be real and talk about life on my blog, but sometimes I just want to post pictures of an outfit that made me feel confident for the day.

Do you ever feel any of these things?

STYLE NOTE: This skirt has been meaning to hit the blog for about a month now! I bought it for Easter and love it so so much. I couldn’t think of a better blouse to pair it with than this off white blouse. What I love about this blouse is that it has built in lines on the shoulder blades and around the chest area to really make a boxy button up into a feminine silhouette. I sometimes have the issue of feeling boyish in button-ups, but because of this chiffon blouse’s lining features, it has become my new favorite!
