Good Books That Get Us Through Hard Times

I won’t lie, I’ve never been much of a reader. I once dropped out of an advanced English course, because of the heavy reading requirements. I’ll spare you the details of that dramatic, high school story, and you’ll thank me later.

Most of you know that the past few months have been a bit of a rollercoaster. It’s been a rough and bumpy, emotional ride. In fact it’s left me a bit shattered at times. Although news has been positive and things are improving, I am still going through the motions of a process that I may never understand.

Luckily for us, we have so many distractions in life now, from social media to Nextflix. I can’t believe I am saying this, but I’ve actually found a place of peace and comfort in reading. It’s been a quiet distraction, and a fulfilling distraction. I’ve re-explored my faith, asked myself tough questions, and dug deep into the crap that keeps me up at night. All with the help of a few positive books, I’ve found the perfect way to navigate each turn, curve and flip of the roller coaster I’m on.

I figured I would share some of my favorite books that can be of help during those difficult times. Some I’ve read, and some I am waiting to read, but all of them are worthy of sharing with as many people as I can. I hope one of these good books, will help you through a difficult time in your life. Just like me, you never know what you’ll find out about yourself, flipping through the story of someone else’s life.

Spring Embroidery

TOP | EARRINGS | DENIM | SANDALS

Y’all already know how much I loved the embroidery trend last year. This spring, embroidery is back, in even bigger and bolder ways. I probably won’t wear it as much this season, but I couldn’t resist this adorable top. The embroidery is perfect for this time of year, and introduces a fun, pop of color when I need it most. It’s an affordable find of course, priced at only $13. I paired today’s embroidered piece with black denim, my go-to statement earrings, and gingham sandals. I could definitely wear this outfit of the day to work, or for a weekend outing. Nothing screams spring quite like embroidery!

Oversized Overalls

TOP | HAIR TIE | OVERALLS | SLIDES

Oversized overalls are for sure the most comfortable style ever. Even if my waist and hips do look a little fuller, oversized is fun, cozy, and easy to layer. Today my oversized overalls are paired with this adorable, open shoulder blouse. It’s a bargain find, priced at ONLY $9! I also styled this adorable handkerchief in my top knot, to take away from the dirtiness of my hair. In the spirit of keeping it real, we haven’t been able to take pictures anywhere but the house, so here we are again in front of the fireplace. Oh well. The fact that we are still getting photos, is pretty damn awesome if you ask me. So oversized overalls, an open shoulder top, a fun hair tie, and slides it is. Happy Wednesday y’all!

Bows & Stripes

TOP | JACKET | JEANS

This spring I am LOVING a mix of denim, and playful prints. My striped, denim jacket is so fun over this bow print blouse. So fun, I couldn’t resist the pairing. I’ve come to realize that every gal needs a bow print blouse, and this one is ONLY $10! You all know I love a good bargain find, I don’t even have to explain this purchase. You know a good piece when you see one. Cheers to BOWS & STRIPES!
