Yellow From the Other Side: On Privacy

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about privacy. Despite the fact that I put a lot of my life out there between my blog and social media, I’m somewhat old fashioned when it comes to keeping my cards close to the chest so to speak. I think most people that know me on a personal level would categorize my personality as more guarded; I don’t think one way is wrong but thought it might be kind of neat to talk about why I’m careful about what details I give out. As an added bonus, I’m sharing all the details on Dress & Dwell’s new pop up shop here in Louisville!

BTW, I’m hosting a fun giveaway on my Instagram story {ends around 9:15 PM eastern on April 9th} for an Urban Decay Naked palette, 2 Vice lipsticks, a NYX Cosmetics Wonderstick and NYX butter gloss!

Yellow From the Other Side: On Privacy | Your Whole Life Doesn’t Need to Be Online

This is something I talked a little about in my personal branding post, but I’d highly recommend NOT putting your entire life out there for public consumption. Believe me when I say, I get the temptation {and have even been guilty of} posting a vague caption, hitting send on a subtweet, and even oversharing on Facebook. One of the worst things about doing these things is that you’re inevitably going to receive follow up questions. “I saw your tweet about XYZ, what happened?”

I’ve found that I’d much rather deny myself the short satisfaction of hitting post than answer tons of questions from followers and friends about whatever messy situation I’m in.

Yellow From the Other Side: On Privacy | Your Friendships Should Be Based Upon More than Gossip

I notice this trend more with women than men, but some women have friendships completely based around talking about others and if we’re being completely 100 {which I always try to be in this space}, that’s not a solid friendship. I could go on and on about this but I’ll leave it at this quote, “what you say about others says more about you than them.” I’m not saying that you shouldn’t confide in your friends or have friends you trust to share personal information with, but rather that your friendships should go further than that surface level.

Most of us have had a work friend that we adore, but the relationship doesn’t go much beyond talking about work or discussing coworkers. Having situational friendships or acquaintances is normal, just know that some people aren’t meant to be more than that.

Yellow From the Other Side: On Privacy | Dress and Dwell Pop Up in Louisville

Onto the outfit! I snagged this yellow floral maxi dress from the Dress & Dwell Pop Up that’s in Louisville through Derby. If you’re not familiar with D&D, they’re a boutique based in Southern Indiana that carries a wide variety of clothing {“dress”} as well as tons of fun décor offerings for your home {“dwell”}. While I end up over in New Albany every other month or so, it always seems to fall on days and times when the boutique is closed.

I was pumped when I found out about the new pop up and had such a good time shopping. The location is adding new arrivals each week, has ton of spring pieces as well as Derby attire – including hats and fascinators, and even has some Louisville and Kentucky specific décor. I loved browsing the Lisi Lerch, Kendra Scott, and Evelyn Henson collections they had!

Yellow From the Other Side: On Privacy | How I Wore It

I’ve been loving yellow lately, which definitely is part of why this maxi dress caught my eye. The high neck is so pretty in combination with the criss cross back. And of course major bonus: the yellow floral print features a variety of colors so you have some flexibility when accessorizing!

I stayed pretty neutral with a pair of blush suede heels I just added to my closet for spring, a gold Kendra Scott necklace, and a cognac purse that can also be worn across the body, but I love the idea of breaking this out with a utility vest and some powder blue pieces.
