Blue Coat for a Cool Spring Day

01

“I can tell you some things I know about spring.  That it’s about bursting.  It’s about renewal.  It’s about relearning.  And it’s about becoming.  And you know what?  It’s also about discomfort.  It burns to become.  But you can’t avoid it.  Step into it.  Own it.  You can’t escape from what your heart actually aches for no matter how hard you might try.  The brain hardly ever wins.  The core does.  ~ Victoria Erickson

To become, to renew, to relearn, all you need is one tiny step.  One shift everyday becomes, over time, enormous change.  To become what you want to become, to realize your dreams, it takes one small step every day in the direction you want to go.  Focus on today and take tiny positive steps, decisions moment by moment that will lead you to a place better than what you ever could have imagined.  Happy Friday!

I first saw this blue coat on Jacey from Damsel in Dior and loved it.  Of course, she was wearing it in Paris and that made it even more appealing!  When I realized it was from Zara, and therefore very affordable, I ordered it.  It’s going to be an essential for me this spring, because I don’t remember it ever being so cold this far into March.  And the boots…these are the ideal boots for taking tiny steps in the direction of my dreams!

I hope your weekend is filled with fun and love!  Thanks so much for reading!

    Perfect, just perfect. The blue coat is lovely on you and I’m all over the frayed jeans, i’m after a lighter colour for the summer myself. Your hair is lovely, is it naturally wavy? Does it have layers?
