How to Make It as an Introvert in an Extrovert’s Field

Hey y’all, happy Thursday!  Today I’m sharing a casual outfit that I rocked last week as well as how I survive as an introvert in an extroverted field.  Attending meet-ups and networking events used to give me terrible anxiety so I’m telling you my top 5 tips to power through and look like the most outgoing person in the room.  Being an introvert can be tough in social situations, but doesn’t make conquering them impossible.

TAG – you’re it! One Shoulder for Summer

You guys, I have a confession to make.  I am constantly riding the struggle bus!  Last week completely kicked my tail, so over the weekend I caught up on sleep and stopped looking at my email inbox.  Admittedly, it was kind of amazing to give myself that level of grace.  And what does a laid-back weekend call for?  Well a laid-back weekend outfit, of course.  I’m still loving all things one shoulder for summer & broke out this top with some comfortable shorts.

Here & Now: the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Happy Saturday!  Hope everyone is surviving the Nordstrom Sale madness.  I actually placed my first order {EVER} yesterday; normally I can’t get behind buying sweaters in July.  If you’re wondering, it’s been a steady 90+ degrees in Kentucky lately with humidity meaning I’m constantly hiding inside with the air conditioning all the way up.  When shopping for myself, I scoped the sale for items that could be worn here & now and figured some of you may be in the exact same boat.

{PS. Wondering what I picked up? Head to New In under the Shop tab!}
