The Boyfriend Blazer

Happy Halloween everyone! Now, it is definitely an understatement to say that Will did a heck of a job for my birthday.  My feet are extremely happy having the new Tory Burch Kiernan Riding Boots as some new footwear for fall and winter.  Since the first day of wearing my boots is somewhat like a national holiday for me, I opted for my one of my favorite staple pieces in my wardrobe, my leopard boyfriend blazer from OASAP.  The thing I love about this blazer is that it has the length and warmth of a peacoat, but it is lighter and cooler inside, meaning I do not get so hot wearing it.  I chose a satin-like white shirt to give it a classy, simple look.  Of course, I had to wear my Tory boots with this ensemble.  Another present Will got me has become my new favorite accessory.  I have had my eye on the Cecile rose gold watch from Fossil, and sure enough, he surprised me with it!  It is absolutely beautiful, and I recommend to any girl to invest in a rose gold watch.  What are some of your favorite fall staple pieces?

It is also the last day of my make up free challenge.  What I have learned throughout this experience is something that one will never be able to grasp unless you experience it personally.  You find this whole new beauty about you, not just physically.  You feel cleaner, revived.  God really showed me who I was and what I have a gift in when I do not hide.  I focused less on trying to look "pretty" and more on studies, quality time with loved ones, and quality time with Him.  It provided more opportunities to let me cherish times I sometimes do not always get.  Even though I still will wear make up, I will not wear make up for the fact that I am ashamed of what I look like or to make myself think I am more confident with it on.  I know now that people love you for who you are on the inside, for the real beauty.  So, my confidence does not come from a red lip or winged eyeliner, but from knowing that God is always right beside me holding my hand.  With that, I can conquer anything.  I would like to thank everyone for the love and support I have gotten through this month and challenge.  It was so inspiring and needed.  There is no doubt in my mind that God has truly blessed me with gifts within, loved ones, and most importantly, a beauty that He finds the most gorgeous of all.
