How to Be Your Own Sunshine on a Rainy Day

Feeling VERY Beyoncé in this yellow maxi dress and not at all mad at it.  The past month or so has been a real rollercoaster of emotions.  Lots of highs and lows and in a humbling way, it’s been a great reminder that you should be your own sunshine.  Entrusting your happiness in someone else can be exciting but at the end of the day if you’re not happy with who you are and what you’re doing, you’re setting yourself up for failure.

Quick & Dirty LOFT June Try On | Chambray Shorts

I’ve been on the hunt for a pair of jean shorts for awhile now.  These chambray shorts remind me of the classic gym shorts but are appropriate for running errands or casual patio drinks with friends for summer.  Big fan of the elastic, drawstring waist and the chambray is incredibly soft making these a comfortable fit.  I’m wearing size small here.
