This past year I have taken a break from my blog.  Soooo much has happened!  John and I got divorced, you can read my post about it here.  Going thru a divorce is very difficult, I needed to focus my time on my kids and myself.  My blog was the thing that got put on the shelf to free up time.  It was necessary time that I needed for myself and for my kids.

I am so happy and thankful I was able to spend that time healing and getting into a better place.  I talked a lot about it and what helped me the most in my New Year’s post.

I first want to say a HUGE thank you to all of YOU!!!!  Over the past year I have gotten the most amazing comments, dm’s, emails.  I have truly felt the love from you.  You have no idea some of the timing of your comments and what they have meant to me.  You all have been so encouraging and supportive.  I love you very much and am forever grateful for you!

I am so happy to return to blogging!  I have missed it so much.  I have missed putting together cute outfits and sharing new beauty products I have found.  Writing my blog pushes me to try new things and keep up to date with styles and trends.  I am so excited to be back to it!!  My Mom is now taking my pictures and Sofia has taken a lot of my pictures that I post on IG.  I’m using my iPhone instead of a professional camera, so the quality isn’t quite as good.  You will be seeing a lot of laughing or silly pictures.  My Mom is hysterical when taking my pictures and I can’t stop laughing! :). She will sing these silly made up songs in a high pitched squeaky voice to get me to laugh lol!

About the Outfit: I love finding great basics for my closet.  I especially love finding great t-shirts!  I’m always checking to see when Topshop comes out with new basic tees and tanks and I always buy them.  And they never disappoint!  I bought this v-neck tee in white and in black.  I love the cut and the length.  The black is a little thicker than the white.  The white is thick enough that it is not see through.

These jeans I’m wearing from Express are very high waisted.  They hit above my belly button.  So they are perfect for anything super cropped or if you want your legs to look a lot longer.  Express also makes jeans that look the same in a mid-rise, although I think they are more of a high rise because they hit me right at the belly button.  This pair I wear at least several times a week for more than a year, and I just ordered a second pair.  Both are 40% off today!

Have a great weekend!
XO, Rachel
