Sunflowers for the Soul: Fall Inspired Casual Outfit
"If I were a flower... I would be a sunflower. To always follow the sun, turn my back to darkness, stand proud and straight even with my head full of seeds."
-Pam Stewart
We have been going through radical changes on a political, spiritual, and physical level for months. Amid so much darkness and negativity, it is difficult to see the light. It is difficult to flourish when everything around you is constantly changing, but we must remember to be like sunflowers and seek sunlight every single day.
A few days ago, I was having a bad day and my partner surprised me with sunflowers. His gesture changed my day completely. It made me smile and change my focus for a bit. So, I got dressed, did my makeup and we headed out to take photos with my beautiful sunflowers. After all, I was desperate to wear the bag, shoes, blouse, and accessories that I bought at Las Americas Premium Outlets and that I showed you in my last post. So, we headed out, and for a bit, everything seemed normal again.
A kind gesture, no matter how small it may seem to you, can completely change a person's day. I encourage you to do something nice for someone today. Remember that "a gesture" does not require buying anything. It can be a compliment, an unexpected call to someone you have not spoken to in a long time, a surprise coffee date, or simply being kind to a stranger. We are living in a world where a lot of people are carrying some kind of frustration, so being patient and kind can mean the world to them, and it can be the antidote to all the rage we have been witnessing lately.
Today I want to share my autumn-inspired casual outfit and show you the beautiful sunflowers that changed my day. By the way, I loved this blouse from the Old Navy Outlet. It was lightweight (perfect for the not-yet-fall weather) and the ruffles on the shoulders looked super cute. I recommend it 100%. It can also be dressed up by wearing a blazer or a cardigan.

Fall-ing in Love with Las Americas Premium Outlets
Kate Spade Outlet
Besides bags and shoes, Kate Spade also had a good selection of fall clothing. They had dresses, tops, coats, jackets, and windbreakers. Don’t let the cold season and the rain catch you by surprise, make sure to buy ahead.

Yellow For Brunch
2020 shut down the world, and in that time I finished decluttering my closet, which resulted in me ending up with less than half of my clothes. So, now that things are starting to open up again, I noticed that I needed new tops. I have enough of everything else, except that. So, the first place I went online to was one of my top favorite plus size sites, City Chic Online. If you don't yet know them, you must go and check out their site NOW. They are also sold at many department stores, like Macy's and Nordstrom. This top is from City Chic. I found it perfect for this spring and summer and I love the cut.
The flats are from Skechers. Who knew they carried flats? I certainly did not! And now that I do... I need more of them in my life. They are SOOOOO comfortable. I feel like I'm walking on clouds.
Today I present to you... my casual brunch outfit of the day!

My First Chanel Bag: Semi-Casual Outfit for Beetlejuice Fans
I love the Jumbo size because it has a longer strap drop. It is the only one that can be worn crossbody; however, many people who are thinner or petite find it hard to use it crossbody because 1) it looks too big on their frame or 2) the strap is too long. There are tips online on how to shorten the strap, but thankfully it fits my body and frame perfectly! In today’s post I want to share this semi-casual outfit with one of my favorite T-shirts. I mean, who doesn’t love Beetlejuice, right?
By the way, If you see me wearing this bag in almost every single post, well ... I LOVE IT and I have to get the most out of it. When I began applying the concept of "cost per wear" in my life, I began to change the way I shop. Now, when shopping, I always consider the item’s cost per wear. It does not matter if the item is inexpensive or not, if we are not getting the cost per wear out of it… we are only losing money.

The Day I Finally Bought My Dream Bag
Anyhow, March was also my birthday month and there was something that I wanted to cross off from my wish-list. This item has been on my mind for over ten years and I finally decided it was time to start planning and saving up for it, or else it would always be a "dream." I'm talking about the holly-grail of bags– the Chanel Classic Flap.
