I am currently obsessing over neutrals! This is a trend you’re seeing everywhere. I am sure it has something to do with everyone gearing down from the glitter and holiday colors. Neutrals are forever pieces, they aren’t the gorgeous piece you purchase for a fun night out and quickly bury in the closet. These pieces are definitely worth the investment and have LOTS of wear time! And with a showing of how this works, you will be seeing this layered ruffled top again 😉

Articles of Society have quickly become a favorite denim of mine, and this pair of ripped knees jeans are a staple you need to snag. Sadly, these booties sold out super fast.. BUT Vici Collection has an email notify option when they do come back in stock. They are the perfect neutral for fall, winter, spring, and even summer! The slits in the sides give it that versatility.

6 Month Blogging Update & 5 Things I have Learned

1. Patience is a Virtue: HA! patience is not something I am good with. I don’t think most of us GOAL digger babes are. I have a list of higher end things I want to do for Gracefully Sassy and when I don’t seem to get them in the timing (overnight) I would like, I take it a little personally. Simple put, I want to give you the best of the best so I need to put a little less pressure on myself. Let go and let God!
2. I Need a DSLR Camera: I say “Need” because I want to up my weekly blog posts to 3x a week and to do so I need to shoot all sorts of thing weekly. Yes I did they that kind of contradicted each other lol, but I do need to up my weekly blog posts for your benefit. I will still shoot with a professional photographer regularly, but I also would like better product shots. Also this is a good investment for a goal I have in starting a VLOG for you as well! When I do start a Vlog, I will show how to style multiple outfits with a few key pieces, beauty hack for the not so makeup savvy girl (like me!), and EASY hair tutorials. These are questions I have received for years and have a pretty good feeling you will love the feedback I have to give.
3. Knowing My Worth: I am still building my following and I get down on myself  saying I am a baby blogger, but regardless of that I put a lot of Time, Money, and Heart into Gracefully Sassy. I had to have a heart to heart in the mirror with myself about knowing how valuable my blog is, and what goes into it. I am worth SOMETHING (not just product)! I never mean this to sound entitled. I work full time, and yes I blog full time as well (30 hrs a week minimum). This is why there may be typos on my blog lol, I am running on fumes at times. A small charge for a collaboration post only allows me to make the post EVERYTHING it should be when featured on someone’s blog. Ie. high quality photos, well written and honest product reviews, social media sharing across multiple sites and multiple times.
4. Find Your Boss Babe Tribe: To say I am blessed is an understatement! Houston is filled with amazing creative, blogger babes, and girl boss go getters. I truly believe in community over competition and lifting one another up. This is essential especially since we’re all in some way in the public eye and need a pick me up from time to time when a little negativity gets us down. I will be the first to tell you.. question master should be my title in life. I have questions about everything, and all the other more experienced people around me are so kind to answer all my crazy questions and do it in a kind way! If you are considering starting a blog, heading into a creative career, or just have questions in general about this whole world feel free to email me and we will chat our little hearts out 🙂
5. I Do NOT Regret “Going For It”: I struggle with severe anxiety, but thanks to God and my therapist I decided to chase my long time standing fashion passion in starting Gracefully Sassy. No matter what your day to day struggle is, NEVER give up on your goals! I am refusing to let anxiety define me, or better yet take away my passion. With your love and support I keep going, pushing through, and loving every second of it. Sooooo THANK YOU! Yes, this is a daily struggle and some days are better than others. BUT the good news is you’re not a lone and please reach out to me anyway you can should you need to vent or want advice. Us boss babes have to stick together in this crazy world!
