What I love more than anything is to hear the wild dreams and the plans that my kids are visualizing for their future. They may not all come to fruition, but I love that their minds and hearts are desiring to do greatness. I know that their steps will be ordered by God so my heart is at peace. I’m a praying momma.
“Dreams are the whispers of the soul.”
Let me just start out by saying that my baby girl, Bella Alise, has blown me away. She is not only beautiful and kindhearted, but she is brave and full of confidence.
She will be switching schools this year after being in the same environment and circle of friends for 8 years. My heart has been nervous for her. Well, let’s just say that she is way stronger than I was at her age. This week, she walked into a room of 20 plus young girls and coaches who she didn’t know that well and tried out for the cheer team. I’m proud to say that she made it. Yayyy!! Her heart was set that if this wasn’t what she was suppose to be doing that God had other plans. Wow, I had tears of excitement, joy, and extreme proudness. I am this girl’s momma. #totalhonor
“Let your faith be bigger than your fears.”
This is Bella at age 8 {3 years ago}. It’s my favorite picture of her. I also wanted to include it because we are both styling our jean jackets.
It’s a staple, and every girl should have at least one. It adds a bit of casualness to a dress, cuteness to a simple skirt and top, and a relaxed vibe tied around your waist. I love the whole wearing it propped on the shoulders too. It has a preppy vibe.
I’m loving this detailed top from Fabulous Finds Boutique. It has the same details along the bottom of the top too. It’s stunning. They have new items added to their Instagram page and website daily. You need to take a peek.
I styled this top with a pleated skirt that I’ve had for a few years from forever21 (I linked a similar skirt from Nordstrom). I included my handmade clutch from Made Supply Co and my mules from Amazon. It’s a simple yet feminine vibe.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Can’t wait to share some Mother’s day surprises with you next week!!
Xoxo,
Angelle

I agree – a jean jacket is a must! I have one in white and traditional blue denim and I tend to wear them both all spring/summer long.

Kristin Kruse says
How mature of Bella! YAY for her making the cheer team!! It always amazes me to hear how simplistic kids view Faith–like if it’s not meant to be then so be it. I’m constantly trying to remind myself to have that childlike Faith! Loving the denim jacket and how you styled this entire look. The mix of neutral colors is so fresh!!
xox,
