    Breaking the Rules In My Ruffle Trim Romper

    May 30, 2017fashion

    Happy short week, everyone! I hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend, remembering those who fought to protect our country, and celebrating the unofficial kick off to summer. I want to kick things off by telling you a tale of the ruffle trim romper from Old Navy.

    Despite being born in August, I haaaate too much heat. As soon as the temperatures started to rise around here, I made my way to Old Navy. They are my go to for affordable basics across all seasons, and I wanted a few new things to mix with my current summer lineup. After re-upping on some shorts and tees, a simple ruffle trim romper caught my eye that was hanging in the wrong place. I asked the closest sales associate where to find additional sizes, he replied and pointed behind me, “That’s actually in the swim section.”

    “Really? In the swim section?” I walked over and low and behold, it was there, in a few different colors and prints.

    I talked myself up about how I could dress it up and make it cute in my head, and grabbed the black one in my size. Besides, who would know that this was a swim cover up unless I told them? 😉 That same evening, I wore my favorite tassel accessories and wore the romper to a backyard party, laughing to myself throughout the night. It begged me to remind you all about what you can wear and when.

    You can wear whatever you want. When you want. How you want. As many times as you want.

    Period.

    When I share outfits on the blog, It’s my way of showing my interpretation of a trend, and hopefully that becomes a source of inspiration for you, but it’s merely my opinion, and my mom always used to say, “Opinions are like…” yeah, you know the rest.

    Don’t let me or anyone else tell you what you should be wearing. If you feel like wearing a swim cover up to go out on the town, wear it. If you feel like wearing something backwards because it looks cuter that way, go for it. If you feel like mixing a bunch of patterns, do it. It’s all about what makes you feel comfortable and confident. And this ruffle trim romper checked both boxes for me.

      Wow, this is such a cute romper and yes, I would probably wear it over my swim suit, but that’s because I am over 50 – lol

      I absolutely LOVED this!! I think I’m my biggest critic when it comes to what I think I can or can not wear, and I simply loved your “you can wear what you want, when you want, and whenever you want” I needed to hear that.

    Y'all... nothing got lit this weekend except for t Y'all... nothing got lit this weekend except for the candles! 😂🕯✨Seriously, what a month February has been. Closing out the month cozy at home as the rain fell outside was perfection today. I even took a nap!

Are you ready for a new month as much as I am?! 🙌🏾 March will bring a lot our way, but one thing it'll bring is a NEW SEASON. Yes, the first day of Spring is March 20th 👀 despite what the weather has in store. With the change of seasons, we have to say goodbye to the Winter candle collection! 😢 And if you had a favorite or have been meaning to grab one, NOW is the time because there's less than FIVE left of each scent! 

A little about each:
Cedar + Pine: Cedar, pine, musk + firewood
Bay Rum = Bay leaves, citrus with notes of musk + tobacco
Citrus + Cinnamon: Grapefruit, lemon + cinnamon

Want to stock up? Use code BUNDLE20 through Friday 3/5 when you purchase more than one! LINK IN MY BIO (+my Shop tab here on IG).

And don’t worry, you’ll be the first to know when the Spring collection launches. Can’t wait to share more soon. Have a good evening, y’all!

    Wednesday, we made it through!👩🏾‍💻🍷T Wednesday, we made it through!👩🏾‍💻🍷The last few weeks (and let’s just say year because we’re coming up on one year since lockdown) have been crazy, filled up with ups and downs for all of us. 

And through it all, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with amazing, creative entrepreneurs that have:

▪️Found their voice + rhythm when it comes to communicating to their ideal client/customer/follower
▪️Pitched + landed PAID deals with their dream brand
▪️Increased their web presence (because I LOVE IG, but there’s other touchpoint and revenue opportunities OFF of the app)
▪️Launched digital and physical products
▪️Contributing to and being featured by publications

And, to me, the most transformative: 

▪️Cultivating the courage to go after what they want relentlessly

That’s why I LOVE being #CoachKach. 
It’s really so content creators, solopreneurs + creative business owners like you can blow through your lofty goals + grab control of your brand +  life.

It’s never been easier than it is right now to do this. All you need is confidence and the right tools + support to get you there. And with one-on-one coaching with me, you’ll get just that.

I’m your digital bestie helping you navigate scaling your business using social, creating content, pitching brands + media and crafting your product/service offer.

▪️Get an opportunity that you’re not sure is taking advantage of your time and talent? Send it to me and we’ll chat it through.

▪️Need to make sure you’re not missing something in your launch plan because you’ve been looking at it too closely? I’m your second set of eyes with examples and other creatives to connect with.

▪️ Start feeling like you can’t do it? I’ll be there telling you YOU CAN — and showing you that you WILL.

If you’re ready to turn up the heat this year, shoot me a DM! I have O N E spot left for the next couple of months at this level of support. If you know you need this, but have questions, let’s talk + see if we can make it a reality for you.

    This is the mood I am embodying all week as I talk This is the mood I am embodying all week as I talk back to the mean girl in my own head! That bitch always shows up right when I “get ready” to do something. What about you? Let’s face em together. 

There is no right time.
There is no cheat code. 
You just have to humble yourself, frickin show up and  DO IT.
It can be as fun or regimented as you decide so long as you are moving in a forward direction, a direction that takes you closer to that goal.

Are you waiting for the right time? And no, I’m not asking for a friend. I’m asking for myself. There will be no more ideas living in a notebook until it “feels good.” If it feels good, it ain’t growth or taking US higher!

Celebrate the win in advance if you have to. Whatever gets you going (yes, I believe in dessert first).

This week, L E T ‘ S 👏🏾 G E T 👏🏾 I T !  #levelupshowup
    WHAT HAS SNOWMAGEDDON TAUGHT ME? That there is po WHAT HAS SNOWMAGEDDON TAUGHT ME?

That there is power in community and Dallas reminds me a lot of Sacramento right now. Shoutout to @dallasites101 for going ALL OUT with their resources. 

That love will always save the day and maybe not in the way you think but just in the way you need. 

That having no power in or out of unit for days and not being able to leave because the roads are so bad is no fucking joke. Talk about a reality check and gratitude break on so many fronts. 

That I really need to get my emergency kit to include “Snowy Conditions” and get a damn shovel + boots. Maybe a truck instead of the Mini? 🚙

Who knew it got like this in Dallas?! 🤯🤯🤯 I didn’t. AT ALL. We’re beyond blessed to have a warm and safe place right now with food, hot water and more.

Prayers up 🙏🏾for everyone that is going through it during this time and for those that still don’t have power, that can’t get to loved ones and those that are having a hard time dealing with this on top of the fact that we’re in a global pandemic. I always say the new year truly starts in February, but it looks like it might be March this time. 

I heard it’s going to be 72 and ☀️next week… y’all, I can’t make this stuff up! 

Are you affected by the weather?! Where are you located?
