I know I'm a little late but I hope everyone had an amazing Valentines Day.
Flowery tank-top: thrift store
Brown tank-top (under): Target
Sweater: H&M
Belt: Aeropostale
Pants: Walmart
The tank top was a great find. I had actually decided the day before that I wanted to find something like this and just happened to come accross it at a thrift store. It was one of those places where people can sell their old clothes to the store and the store turns around and sells the clothes again so they had a better selection. I knew that if I bent over wearing this shirt that I would have a problem so I wore a form-fitting tank top underneath.
On a side note, I'm looking for a lime green (or some shade of green that's close, but not neon) cartigan. If anyone could tell me where I can find one, I would appreciate it :)
I titled this post "sweet serendipity" for the suprising things you can find at secondhand stores and places you may not expect. It was also because of this song.
Here are some of my favorite songs to listen to when I'm not having a great day, or anytime really but specifically when I'm feeling down.
Here is the classic song that most people know and listen to to feel better.
Bad Day by Daniel Powter
This song is just a reminder that we each have a divine purpose. No matter how many times people make you feel worthless, you are here for a reason. You are a child of God. He cares about you immensly and loves you. He will never forget you. He is always here to help you.
Who I Am by David Archuleta
I love how this song makes me aware that we aren't alone and we can fight whatever trial we are facing, no matter how impossible it may seem.
Face Up by Lights
In 2005, Andrew McMahon, the singer of the song Swim by Jack's Mannequin, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, but made a full recovery. If anyone understands what it means to fight your way through until the end, it's people like this. No matter what the trial, no matter how big or how small, don't give up. Keep going, the horizon is not as far as you think.
There may be valleys and low points in our lives, there may be mountains of various heights to climb, but the greatest feeling of all is reaching the top. If you give up on the journey, you will never know how amazing and rewarding it is at the top of the mountain.
Not that that has much to do with the song... but hey, it works.
Jump Rope by Blue October
This song speaks for itself and is so beautiful. There's also a quote from this singer, Rachel Taylor, that I really liked: "But the beauty of tragedy and ache, is the story we have after we persevere."
The One About Indiffernece by He Is We
When I'm feeling stressed out or upset, I find it comforting to take a deep breath, close my eyes, and listen to this song (although if your eyes are open, you will see some pretty amazing pictures). It helps me appreciate all of the little, and big, joys in life.
Something Beautiful by Newsboys
We have all made mistakes, but we can recover from them no matter how bad it is. That's what forgiveness is for. We all are given a second chance. As Matt Thiessen of the band Relient K said
"Take a good look at yourself and know You've got yourself a ways to go But difficult is not impossible You can take back all the lost control Take a good look at yourself and see That you'll emerge eventually As long as your heart's not too far gone From the only thing that can save you from yourself
Forgiveness can be given when you think it can't Cause with every passing second comes a second chance".
(the rest of the song wasn't entirely relevant but I really liked this part).
A couple weeks ago I was strolling through Old Navy and I saw this amazing polka dot top.
I knew I had to own it so I checked the price tag, $29.94. Now that isn't too bad for a blouse, but I'm a poor High School student so I reluctantly put it back. I planned to snatch it the second it went on sale. Recently I was walking through another favorite store, Forever 21 and saw a very similar top for only
$13.50!
Can you guess what I did? I pounced! I actually think I like the bigger dots better and for less than half the price! Needless to say, this girl is a happy girl:)
I'm going to roll the sleeves up a tad and wear it with a black tank underneath so it isn't see through. Maybe I'll post an outfit with it soon!
