So excited to be teaming up with my friends Stephanie and Sarah, awesome wedding photographers, in helping their brides find outfits/jewelry for their engagement photos. I don’t know about you, but I know for me that engagement photos were kind of overlooked because I was so caught up in preparing for my upcoming wedding (Attn family members – Please don’t post our original engagement photo). I look back and wish I hadn’t worried so much about things that didn’t really matter in the end. Stephanie and I are also similar in that ironically, we both had the same wedding photographer, but did not come out with many quality photos. I wish I would have listened and spent more on what really lasts from all the wedding expenses – the photographs!
If it wasn’t for my friend’s dad, I would not have had that many photos to cherish afterwards. (Of course, we also both got married before all the social media craze, digital rights and all that, too - No selfies were taken at my wedding either!) I LOVE what JW Wedding Photography desires for their clients – If you are like me you love what you see on Pinterest with the more elegant engagement photos – We want to help you achieve that look, too! It was not difficult or expensive to put this outfit together (Anyone recognize the necklace? :)) – Stephanie really worked the magic in this photo. :) If you are or know anyone that is getting married – please send them our way! We would love for you to get the whole package – Both a dream engagement & wedding photography session! And a big thank you to Stephanie for letting me kind of “redo” my engagement photo 12 years later! #IfICouldGoBack #weddingphotography #engagementphotography #photographslastforever #JWWeddingPhotography #stylist #JustAGirlAndHerCloset

As women we struggle and have insecurities about SO many things - from our physical appearance, to raising children, and how we our perceived by others – ironically, especially other women! I loved the book Girl Wash your Face! I may be a little late, but after hearing about it so much I definitely wanted to check it out! It was such a good and easy read. Great for women of all ages and both stay at home and working mommas - It touches on so many important aspect of a woman’s life from marriage, motherhood, and how to be uplifting to other women! And just love how it encourages women from a Christian aspect to keep pursuing their dreams. Highly recommend it if you haven’t read it already - Especially at the start of a new year!*You can’t go wrong with plaid and a vest! :) It is cute and comfy and love wearing mine in both the fall and winter. And I love this simple necklace and pair of earrings that I can add to just about any outfit. :)
I’m sure there are many others out there going through a decluttering phase at their home – Usually this doesn’t hit me until spring break, but with staying home now and watching Marie Kondo on Netflix, it has hit me pretty hard this year . The hubby even got on board after I had him watch an episode with me. Although I can tend to hold on to clothes (I have gotten rid of a lot though!), I would say my hubby is more of the hoarder in our house ;). I can’t tell you how many times I have heard “Mom, you threw that away!” lol I try to keep some things for sentimental value, but I know I just can’t keep it all! Taking a pic has been a life changer for me though! But I also see the other side of things and know that I only will have small children for a short time, and some day I will miss the organization of little clothes & constant picking up of toys. So I’m just trying to find a good balance and of course with littles at home & the busyness of everyday life, my goal has been a bag at a time (It hasn’t been everyday -This is usually when I just get the urge) and I still pretty good about that. I know many of you can relate – Doesn’t it just feel great to just throw things away, though?!*Love these leather earrings! I liked the color of this sweater dress (Heard it was going to be a big color in 2019 ;)) and thought it would be pretty to wear with brown leggings. The brown duster I had worked perfect to complete the outfit, too.
p.s. I added a pic of Isla with all her dolls and doll accessories after she added quite a few to her collection from her grandparents at Christmas. She is a hoarder in the making :) |
