Chartreuse and Autumn Wishes

I never thought I'd actually say this, but I am SO ready for Fall. I love warm weather, but enough is enough! After driving to the post office for the third time this week with no a/c in my car, I am totally over this hot weather. This outfit was certainly wishful thinking on my part. I'm so ready for long sleeves, boots, and hot chocolate. But even this lightweight blouse was a little much for 80 degrees fahrenheit.





I'm not sorry though, because I'm in love with this top! It's such a gorgeous chartreuse color. Which is probably a little over the top considering I have coral hair. But HEY! Go big or go home.





I'm staying super busy lately. My hubby has been having some minor medical issues, so I've been scrambling around trying to take care of everything at home. Hopefully he'll be better soon.





Mental health wise, things have been really good! When you have anxiety, you can go for quite a while without an incident. I still get nervous in certain situations because I've learned to associate them with panic symptoms. But all in all I'd say things are going excellently right now.





So how are you guys? Is the weather cooling off in your part of the world?

New Hair, New Adventure, New News!

Hey there, lovelies! I come bearing TONS of news this post! All of it good (GREAT) stuff, too.

First of all, you may have noticed a new-- and super obvious-- button on the sidebar labeled "SHOP." That's because my boutique is finally up and running! (You can find it HERE.) I am sooo excited to move forward with this little adventure. And this is only a taste of what I have in store for you guys. I've been snatching up a huge selection of fashionable plus size items, both modern and vintage. I'm also trying to extend the size range as far as I possibly can! I know fashionable items in larger plus sizes are hard to come by, so I'm making a concerted effort to have those available as much as possible. So make sure you keep checking back for more items all the time!

Secondly, I dyed my hair! To mark this new chapter of my life in which I get to be more bold and creative, I decided to get some hair that went with. So I now have a pale coral ombre pixie. I'm so totally in love with it! There's a Coco Chanel quote I spotted floating around Pinterest that says "A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life." I couldn't agree with that statement more-- to me this new look is like the christening of this new chapter of my life. I'm so glad I get to share that with you guys!

Anyway, enough of my blabbering and on with the outfit! This look isn't too over the top. I'm testing the waters with what color combinations work with my new pinkened locks. What do you think?
