Fragments

dress: ann taylor, thrifted, purse: vintage, thrifted, coat & tights: target, heels: vintage, thrifted, belt: goodwill
Happy December & Thursday! Though I'm glad that this week is over, I'm feeling rather overwhelmed by the fact that I have two more weeks - finals week included - before Christmas break. In addition, it seems crazy but - this school year is already almost half way over. I'm excited for my future, but I have all these fears. Recently when I was talking to an acquaintance of mine about being frustrated and nervous, and she said something that I think I just needed to hear... "Guess what? It will all be okay in the end." This phrase stuck with me. I know I've heard that before, and I know that I know what she said was true... but it really reminded me that yeah, things are going to be okay.

Things can be difficult and stressful, but at the end, I know that I'm going to get through it. I think it takes trusting in the Lord to have a plan for you, but sometimes it's hard to let go of the fact that you aren't always in charge of how things will work out in your life. I know that that is a challenging thing for me.

Anyway, a quick note about my outfit - I wore this last Sunday. The dress, purse, and heels were all purchased on black Friday. :) I think the shoes were half off (so $3!) but that was the only deal I got. Still, it was all pretty inexpensive. ;) Have a nice night, loves - tomorrow is Friday!! xx

    And yes, whatever may be will be, but if you hold on your faith and relish in the experience, it will all work out! Just keep positive, and enjoy it, because it goes too fast <3
