    Confidence + My Favorite Gingham Pieces

    July 29, 2018fashion

    Hey y’all! August is almost here and as I reflect on what an awesome month July was, I have to share a moment that still makes me smile, while also sharing one of my favorite trends with you so you can enjoy it, too. šŸ™‚

    I started the month with three TV segments back to back to back. On the second one, I wore this Rachel Roy Gingham Off-the-Shoulder dressĀ that I picked up from Macy’s (plus size here). I just love the gingham trend and I loved how I looked in it – and more so, I love how I felt. I totally give credit for my confidence coming through during my segment. It felt great! Leaving the studio with aĀ little extra pep in my step and an appreciation for the effort I put into dressing the part, I put out a call for assistance with capturing the magic of the day. Sure enough, Nicole Quiroz was able to squeeze in a few minutes to take my picture! Yay!

    Following the shoot,Ā  I ended up working at Pause Coffee House afterward since it seemed like such a great place to visit from Instagram. I was so happy that it WAS and I had the best time there. I even had the opportunity to taste some new concoctions they’re whipping up! It’s not near where I live at all, but I’ll definitely be going back.

    Because I just love the gingham trend, I decided that I would share some of my favorite gingham pieces that you can add to your closet, plus show you some ways other bloggers are wearing the trend.

    Shop the gingham trend!

    I had to order the pink gingham coat! I can’t wait to share it here on the blog!

    Happy weekend, friends! Wanna know what sandals I’ll be wearing all spring? These right here šŸ‘†šŸ¾.Ā They are so comfortable and I got a couple of compliments at the crosswalk! Every person was pleasantly surprised when I told them they were @crocs in collaboration with @verabradley because of the style, but if you didn’t know, there’s a wide variety of sandals from Crocs and these just scream spring. The floral botanical print is quintessential Vera and I’m obsessed. I know I’m rocking the denim today, but I’ll be steppin around town in them and at the pool, with stripes and solids — and with dresses and swimsuits, too. The spring style possibilities are endless. Tell me what you would wear yours with!Ā #VeraBradleyXCrocs

THIS IS OUR YEAR, and I can’t wait to get started! #LevelUpWithKachet #LevelUpShowUp #ThisIsYourYear
    Happy first full week of April, y’all. 😁 Maki Happy first full week of April, y’all. 😁 Making a point to celebrate + take a pause from the scroll is part of my biz processes this year and I didn’t even realize a week passed. I never used to stop, which means that I was going forth with blinders on + getting caught up in comparison, for better and for worse. I have to be honest, even with the absence on Instagram, the business activity didn’t stop!  In fact, here’s what went down in the past five days: 

ā–ŖļøThe Level Up + Show Up Challenge went down via email + Facebook. See ya, IG!
ā–ŖļøI booked two Strategy Sessions for April.
ā–ŖļøI put the finishing touches on the new Level Up With Kachet...DOORS OPENING THIS WEEK. Y’all ready?!
ā–ŖļøMy team + I turned a gifted offer from a brand into a paid one with ONE email. My #CoachKach advice: Stop saying yes (or no) off the bat. Open up the conversation to see what can happen.
ā–ŖļøI beat my Q1 income goal by 25%, which made me adjust my quarterly goals for the rest of the year.

Sometimes you just need a win to get fired up and re-focused.

Sometimes you need to put that scary number out there to see if you can make it happen. 

Knowing that I did when half of the time I was weary, lost + fighting to show up in all areas, it affirms that I am made to do this. It shows me that there is a bigger plan for me, so long as I show up. 

Perfection is not required. Effort is.

That’s the energy I’m taking into April and the rest of the year. I’m going to reach higher. I’m probably going to squirm, sweat and scream while doing so, but I’m here for all the smoke that comes with it.

What are you going to reach higher for? And how can I help? Let’s šŸ‘šŸ¾Get šŸ‘šŸ¾It!

    You work hard, lady — schedule a breather this w You work hard, lady — schedule a breather this week and treat yo’self! It doesn’t have to be for the whole day. Heck, five minutes will do the trick. 

I hadn’t taken myself out for a coffee date in a while so I made it happen. But for you, it could be:

ā–ŖļøA coffee without your phone in hand
ā–ŖļøA walk around the block
ā–ŖļøA bubble bath
ā–ŖļøA call with a loved one. 

This isn’t the first time I’ve said this, and it won’t be the last. Count on that! 😁

Curious about my look? Well, my love for polka dots is coming back! I’m rockin more classics from @appleseeds, including the Dennisport Twill Chinos with this shirt. I plan to wear it with shorts + skirts this spring, too. That’s why I love classic pieces so much. You can remix them in whatever way you feel like depending on the mood.

A classic — and taking a moment to celebrate you — will never go out of style. Click the link in my profile to check out all of my Appleseed’s picks this season, + comment below šŸ‘‡šŸ¾and tell me what you’re going to do for yourself this week!
