I am usually an all black in the fall and winter but did @belk just convert me to a navy gal?! Loving these two pieces both from Crown & Ivy! They are linked in my LTK! Then I have my accessories from @theshoppeatcoldwater and @the_aga_company I’ll link those in my ShopMy for you to shop! I would have also paired this with a fabulous chunky chain necklace Ashley’s got at the shoppe (I’ll link it too) it’s @brightoncollectibles of course! And then, the star of the show: MY ITALIAN HANDBAG! She is soooo cutie!

Typically for holidays I like to purchase things I wouldn’t normally buy myself (appliances, expensive items, etc) I used to have a lot of clothing on my list growing up, but I have since changed up what I ask for!

It's that time of the year! Check out my picks for Belk's Black Friday shoe selection! I have included womens and kids in this post!

#LTKCyberWeek #LTKSaleAlert #LTKKids

Ok yes, you read that right. I haven't worn jeans or real pants in FIVE YEARS.
As you've seen I am primarily a dress girl and as a midsize gal (curvy in the hips) I have really struggled to find jeans that I love the feel of and how they look! I don't like to shop online for jeans either because sizing and fit and fabric are so different.
I started my journey with @target I'll link what styles l've shown and what worked for me! #jeans #shopping #denim #midsize #midsizefashion

#LTKMidsize #LTKPlusSize #LTKdayinmylife

It’s that time of the year, shopping for a guy who has literally everything and NEEDS nothing. I’ll try to sort these based on hobbies!

Scarf styling 101 is back in session.

Today I’m showing you all how I tied my rosette scarf tie!

This is also super pretty on the handle of a handbag if you don’t have a huge scarf like this to go around your neck! Linking some great scarf options for this tie in my stories and in the comments! #silkscarf #scarftutorial #scarf #scarves #scarfstyles

I probably get asked the most about my hair care routine. While a lot of it is genetics, I do take care of the hair I was blessed with. These products I use monthly, weekly and sometimes daily! They’d make great gifts, stocking stuffers, dirty Santa, birthday or girls night gifts!

So many #ootd in a row for me! As a hybrid worker, I don’t usually have to get out and about a ton but ‘Tis the season of fiscal year fun!
Upon further review I should have work the cream version of this sweater dress, but I grabbed the black and I dug my grave and have to lie in it now. 🖤

Tonight I closed the chapter on five years of serving as a City Councilwoman. These years have taught me so much about government, about people, and about myself. I learned how long things really take, how many pieces have to fall into place to make progress, and how important it is to keep your peace through it all.

Serving in my twenties, as someone who wasn’t from this area and as a young woman stepping into public office, came with its fair share of criticism and disrespect. But through it all, becoming a mother and learning to protect my peace taught me the power of grace, confidence, and boundaries. Public service will test you in every way, yet it also reminds you that how people treat you often says far more about them than it ever does about you.

I also want to extend the biggest gratitude to my fellow councilmembers who served alongside me these five years. We have grown to be family and have laughed, cried, shouted, cursed, and sat in silence together more times than I can count. I couldn’t have asked for a better crew. Each one brought something unique to the table, and working together has been both educational and inspiring. I hope to stay connected with them for years to come.

To those who showed support, thank you. To those who didn’t, thank you too, because you helped me grow stronger.

Cheers, Sheffield. Thank you for the chance to serve. Please wish your next council all the best, and if you can’t respect those who were elected, I expect to see your name on the ballot next time. 💛
