  • 💗 the goal isn’t to impress people with your life • it’s to genuinely enjoy living it 💗
  • 👚👖 for me, this is about more than clothes • it’s part of a bigger commitment to living simply, spending intentionally, and staying comfortably under our means

💰 i enjoy fashion AND i want my money to support the life i’m building, not a lifestyle I feel pressured to maintain

WHAT I’M WEARING 

all 100% cotton, unless noted 

* dark denim button down $4.99 - thrifted
* jeans $14 - Plato’s Closet 
* black men’s button down $4 - thrifted 
* black denim skirt $4.99 - thrifted

* black high waist wide leg jeans by Zara $35 - ebay (91% cotton)

  • 👸looking put together and having a style that feels like me doesn’t require spending a ton of money 

👸 buying secondhand feels more aligned with my values • it allows me to find quality natural fibers pieces, be more intentional about what i bring into my home, and avoid the constant cycle of buying new 

👸 8 pieces = $102.97 • all 100% cotton, unless noted

  • 💗 We choose to live below our means.

💗 We don’t buy things we can’t pay for. We don’t carry debt to maintain a lifestyle. We don’t feel the need to buy the latest brand name or keep up with what everyone else has.

💗 We try to be intentional with our spending, asking ourselves whether something actually adds value to our lives — or whether we’ve simply been conditioned to want it.

💗 We invest in things that align with our values, including our future selves.

💗 And we’ve learned to value things that can’t be bought more than the things that can.
  • Lake life is the life for me…. 🚣‍♂️👙🏊• slow days with sweet friends doing what we love ❤️
  • 💗 the older i get, the less interested i am in building a life that looks good from the outside • i’d rather build one i genuinely love living 

💗 this is my kind of vacation:

* a quiet lake
* my favorite people
* time outside 
* simple meals 

💗 nothing fancy 

💗 i think the  best parts of taking ownership of your life is realizing you get to decide what a good life looks like 

💗 spending time with BOTH of my girls is EVERYTHING  to me
  • ✨ 5 years ago, i completely uprooted my life because i felt a call for something different • i don’t have a single regret 

there is so much peace and power in intentionally creating a life aligned with your values and heart’s desire 

but it takes radical ownership of EVERY aspect of your life
  • 💪fitness is one of the biggest mood boosters in my life—not because it solves everything, but because it consistently gives me space to come back to myself 💪

💪sometimes the workout is the least important part • the real gift is becoming the kind of woman who keeps choosing herself, over and over again 💪
  • ✨this season has changed me in ways i never expected—and honestly, i think it’s making me a better woman • softer, slower, stronger, and more trusting ✨✨
