Country Chic: A beautiful life

This outfit has a country feel to me, maybe it's the booties or the field of flowers that I was in. Of course I couldn't resist doing some skirt spinning!

Today marks my two month anniversary of my blog! I appreciate all of the kind words through the comments so far! I usually don’t share personal stories in my posts, but I want to share one with you today to give a better glimpse behind my inspirations for starting this blog. I mentioned early on that one inspiration for starting my blog was to have a lovely escape from my hectic work life. Another inspiration and one thing about me that plays a large role in shaping who I am today is that I’m a cancer survivor.

I was diagnosed with a stage 4 cancer and completed treatment just less than two years ago…all while as a twenty-something year old! I remember when all I could do was lay in bed, I would pass the days by looking at fashion blogs--a beautiful escape from the reality that I was in. I decided early on in my course that regardless of what the future held, I would just live life like I wanted to. I am so grateful for my recovery. I try to seize each day, pursuing things that I love, such as fashion =) Having gone through this experience, I gained inner strength and embraced my inner beauty. Now with my hair growing out (I have yet to get my first haircut!)  and physical strength back, I have re-embraced my femininity. I try to showcase all these through my personal style on here. Thanks so much for reading!
