dream a little dream for me...

I'm sitting here trying to figure out where to begin since I haven't blogged in quite a while. Lots of life has happened- too much to try to recount or write on here... So, I'll just start at what has been on my heart lately. 
I still love fashion. I've tried to control it and not think about outfits, makeup, accessories, etc. all day long, but I can't! It is uncontrollable. Unfortunately, I work a full-time job that has absolutely nothing to do with anything fashion/style related (very thankful I have a job though...). With that being said, I have been doing some soul searching and praying about God's will for my life a lot lately. I have struggled with my purpose and destiny in life since I was in high school. I thought I had it figured out a couple of times, but most of the plans I made fell apart or I just lost interest. I know the "normal" thing for one to do after they finish high school is to go to college and get a degree and figure out your career there. That hasn't necessarily been the case for me. I did go to college, a couple of them to be exact, and I chose a ton of different majors. But I always felt like I was just taking classes to be taking classes. I really wasn't motivated because I had no passion for whatever major I was currently working towards. 
I'm still trying to figure out what I am supposed to do... maybe the Lord will reveal it to me or maybe I just need to go out in faith, which can be extremely difficult at times. Ben and I have been talking a lot lately about what we want in life, church, our marriage; my husband is very inspiring and he's pushed me to actually go and do what I love. Even if it's not my main career, I should be running after my passion. With all this said, I have decided to do it! I'm going to start making my own clothes. I have been researching blogs about different d.i.y projects that are completely doable. Such as, thrifting for clothes and then turning them into something adorable and modern (I plan on doing that tomorrow!) And of course, picking out fabrics and starting from scratch. I am very excited about this and I hope to share all of my experiences here. I know that God has an amazing plan for mine and my family's life and I'm really just enjoying the ride while He paves the way. 


Here are a few things that I have been loving on pinterest:









Goodness, just uploading these pictures got me excited! I love it!!
