the lie of balancing it all.

Ahhhh yes, the lie of having it all (and being able to balance it) that’s what we’re all looking for in life. I used to think balance was something that would all fall into place, but lately I’ve not been doing such a hot job at it. I’m sure you know the feeling, it’s that delicate balance of trying to say “no” more, finding the right opportunities, and carving out some much needed “you” time between friends, work, family, and everything in between. I’ve been totally sucking at it these past few weeks. 
I used to get really down on myself about not being the best version of myself 100% of the time, but I’m starting to realize that doing my best and working my hardest is all I can do. With the summer right around the corner, I’m hoping for more adventures in the coming months, so I have to try my best to find as much balance as I can (and balance that makes sense to me.)
I’ve been ignoring my little blog these days, and while I used to beat myself up about it, I’m trying to take the opportunity to let go a little more. I’m sorry I haven’t stopped by to visit everyone on their corner of the web – I promise, I’ll try my best soon! But in the meantime, thanks for being the best – reaching out and giving me a little love when I need it most. I’m one lucky lady to have so many friends near and far {in real life and online!} 
Speaking of balance, I have at least gotten a bit better at balancing my wardrobe with more minimalist, multi-tasking pieces. This ruched skirt {shockingly from Forever21} has been my new go-to for work and the weekend. This Henri Bendel purse is also my new all-time favorite bag, and it’s been perfect for weekend wear and toting a few essentials to and from the office. If my life can’t feel so balanced, at least my outfit feels a little right 😉 
Hope you have a week full of attempted balance, and lots of fun along the way! xx

    We all know the balance struggle 🙂 I think it makes everyone a little more human and I appreciate it when people are real and honest. Love how you paired that shirt as well!!

    That purse is amazing!!!!!!!!!!! And don't worry I am going through the same thing right now – I just have so many things I want to do and accomplish and people I want to spend time with – but I just can't do it all. Sometimes it is about taking a step back and realizing what you need to focus on at the time – might be different week to week or day to day but that's okay!
