I don't know about you, but I feel as though at the turn of each new year time goes by faster and faster! As much as I think certain weeks or months will inch by, they always end up flying by faster than I think and before I know it a month, and then two months, and then a year are up.
When I think about time and how fast it goes, I always wonder how much I miss. I think so often, we are focused on getting as much done as we can in the time we have, but what if our focus on fitting so much in causes us to miss things? What if we are so focused on getting things done that we miss what time has to offer?
When the topic of time comes up it always gets me to thinking? It makes me think about how many hours I have in a day and how much I need to get done, but it also makes me think about wasted time. What if those moments we take to relax or those times we get sidetracked are moments we could have dedicated to something important?
I guess when it comes to time there are always so many questions, but also so many thoughts on making the most of every moment. Like when you think you are to busy to get everything done, but in the long run if it is important to you you will make time! That is a resolution of mine as of late, to make time for what is important to me and to stop making excuses!


As for this look, it is a little different than my usual style, but something I have been loving lately! I found these paper bag waist pants at H&M a couple of months ago and fell in love with them when I tried them on. They reminded me of something an artist would wear, and according to the 6th grader I had in class one day that's what he thought too:) Since the pants are so unique I usually pair them with a striped top, for this look I chose to pair them with a striped tank top. Since the look is very "business" like I paired it with flat loafers and my business bag.
To finish off the look I decided to wear my JORD wood watch for an extra unique flair. I have always loved the style of JORD watches because there are not many like it. I love that they are wood and bring in a natural style to a look while adding in a slightly modern flair.

Long time no see! It truly seems like it has been forever since I sat down to write a post, but it hasn't been that long. I felt a little off the blogging game since life got a bit busy and I didn't have many posts planned out, but here is one that I have been looking forward to for a few weeks!

I have come to appreciate the simplicity of fashion. While most often I go for something full of colors, prints, and multiple aspects, there are many times that simplicity is so perfect in itself. I created this outfit based off of THIS look worn my Mary in the movie "About Time." I fell in love with her simple and yet ladylike style and couldn't help loving how perfectly fall her outfit was...plus we basically have the same hairstyle:) While sweaters are definitely my go to in the fall months, there is something so perfectly comforting in an oversized chunky sweater!

Aside from the simplicity in fashion, the best accessory to top off a look such as this is also to pair a simple piece with it. This Zebra and Navy wood watch from JORD is the perfect fall accessory! I haven't always been that into watches, but this piece definitely changes the game up a bit! Not only does the simple and unique style go with nearly everything in my closet, but the wood texture compliments all of the earthy tones of fall, making it a recurring accessory in my everyday wardrobe. The wood styles of JORD watches truly add a bit of nature into every ensemble in their natural construction and I especially love the dark shade of this lovely watch they sent me.

If you think about it, watches have always been a classic and timeless (see what I did there) accessory throughout the years, not to mention that they keep you on track and help you never to be late. If you are interested in getting one of these classic wood watches for yourself, JORD has put together a GIVEAWAY and the winner will receive a $75 eGift Card and everyone else who enters will receive a $20 eGift Card (Contest ends November 13th and codes expire January 1st).
