I’m not going to lie…the last couple days have been kind of crappy for me.
If you follow me on Instagram, you saw that I had to go to the dreaded dentist last week. I really hate going to the dentist. There is always something wrong I tell you. I have the worst teeth in the world (despite my immaculate oral hygiene). Anyway, long story short…I chipped two teeth when I was pregnant and I’m just now getting around to getting them fixed. Only to get them fixed it costs an arm and a leg. So boo to that.
Also this past week Everett has been crazy teething and really sick. He has been super clingy and fussy and it’s causing mommy to get fussy as well. Oh the life of a mother.
Despite all the bad and tiring things happening to me at the moment, I can’t help but be thankful for the life that I have. I have an amazing husband, an amazing son, an amazing family, and an amazing job. My life really is a great one…even if I have some crappy days.
I just want all of you to know that even though my life might seem perfect based on what you see on social media…it’s not. I have bad days like everyone else. I have blemishes, sleepless nights, stresses, and a far-from-perfect body (from lack of exercise and not a lack of ice cream eating). I think it’s easy to forget that when you see other people’s lives through social media. It’s ok to have a bad day (or week, month, etc) because there are so many people going through similar situations! We all need to be in this together!
Anyways, aren’t these boots amazing?! I have been on the fence about over-the-knee boots for awhile now…but when I saw this pair I was smitten. They are a great price, and they look great with skinny jeans! Do yourself a favor and pick up a pair (see the widget below for an awesome selection!).
Have a happy Monday!

Hope this week is better. We all have bad days, right?
I love this outfit. My calves aren't made for boots, but I WANT that vest. And the dentist will always find something wrong with perfect teeth. Ugh
i love the outfit! And the hair style is super cute too! I really need to grow my hair back out so that I can get looks like that again. Here's to a better week 🙂
So sorry about the dentist. They do cost an arm and leg for a few teeth fixes. And you are right, we all have bad days no matter how perfect we try to portray ourselves on social media. Love that you are still able to see the good. And you forget to mention, you also have FABULOUS hair! Beautiful!
I love the outfit! I have long hair but am nowhere near talented enough to fix my hair like yours. We all have bad days the idea is not to give in to them. My children are grown and I can honestly say that while it may seem overwhelming right now it goes by so quick. Before you know it he will be going to school and that will hold challenges in and of itself. It's all about change.
I absolutely love your sense of style. The scarf is a fav and you are definitely rocking the knee high boots. Be encouraged! We all have crazy days that do not go as planned. Approach those days showing grace and receivng grace.
That camo vest is SO fantastic! I NEEED that!
I love the outfit and you're hair looks beautiful. The scarf is my fav because here in the north country they are a must have, and we want something that looks nice.
I love the boots. Especially that they are knee high!
What a cute outfit! I am loving those boots, but my favorite part of your whole look was your hair! I am new to your blog so I don't know if this is something you do, but I would love a tutorial on how to do that! I am useless with hair!
I know what you mean, everyone has a bad day and there is no point comparing to people of social media. I too have bad days but I appreciate the good that happens that not everyone sees and that's ok I am happy whether they see it or not. Love the boots, they are great.
You look gorgeous! I'm loving the camo vest.
You always look super cute! 🙂 I hate going to the dentist too.. even if I take care of my teeth so much better than my husband.. I always have something wrong.. *sigh I blame my genes!
Oh, I hear you on the teething thing–my toddler is just getting her canines, and it has been ROUGH around here since Thanksgiving. They're pretty much coming in suuuuuper slowly, and the fussing and clinginess is driving us all crazy. Hang in there: I've heard those teeth all fill in eventually! (And you look fab, BTW–those Heidi braids made me miss my long hair!!)
That's such a cool vest! I wish I could pull that off!!!
You look amazing – I love, love, love this look! Btw, hate the dentist too. I take care of my teeth immaculately and still end up with issues.
Love your honesty…it's easy to forget that, behind the computer screen, bloggers are real people with real problems just like you. And your outfit isn't bad either. 😉

Love how you glammed up the camo vest! Looks great!
I like the entire outfit. I really like the vest and would love to have one.
Just remember its a new week and can only get better 🙂
It's so rare that bloggers take off the perfection facade and be real that it's refreshing. Although you had a rough few days you are clearly blessed to have family especially during the holidays. I really like the greek braid and camo vest.
You're right! Let's never forget to be thankful for what we have.
We all get those days when nothing goes the way we want it to. It's important to try and have a positive outlook on things anyway, and I think you are doing a great job at looking bright and radiant even if your day isn't going well. I love that scarf by the way!
We all have bad days but what is important is that we get right back up and over come it!
If my hair ever looked as good as yours does here, even for one day, I'd never complain about my hair again. That's a great look!
I love your hairstyle and makeup! You look stunning as always! 🙂
We all have bad days, you're right. Have you tried Hylands Teething Tabs for the baby? They work a ton of magic on sore mouths! I'm sorry you had a rough go at the dentist! I've been putting off going forever too!
Everyone has bad days. I love your outfit it looks great on you. I love those boots.
I don't have over-the-knee boots and I want one like that. 🙂 Love em!
I agree, be contented and give gratitude. I love all of your outfit. It fits perfect!
I wish I could do my hair like that! Everyone has bad days, Mondays are no ones favorite!
I want to say you are so adorable and in one of the poses, you are doing the football Heisman stance lol! Yes social media is a place where everything is positive on the surface but it doesnt showcase your full day! We are all human and whether we showcase our best angles with amazing camera lens to portray a seemingly beautiful life…its not always. Thanks for sharing!
I really love those boots and wished I had a pair. Your outfit looks great.
OK I'm totally loving this outfit!!!! Those boots are to die for
Ooh the dentist is no fun! And always so expensive! This outfit is gorgeous though, I love the vest!
I guess we all go through that – no one likes going to the dentist – btw you still look totally great!
love your braids! and your look too!
I hope you are feeling a lot better this year 🙂
