I like many other women have been obsessed with romantic love. The idea of it. The possession of it. The identity I cling to from it. 

It is altogether a whirlwind of magic and or devastation. 

When any person places the weight of their entire identity on a house of cards it will smash into a thousand pieces.

I’ve come to learn:

“Friendship makes a LIFE even more deeply than (Romantic) love.” -Elie Weisel

I am all for love! I love- love! However I am not EVER for placing your hands around someone in an attempt to control them for the sake of your own happiness. 

I am also not a fan of ultimatum “love”, the I have to have it “love” or the being entirely lost without him love. 

I was once this girl. Fragile and needing to cling to a man. In affect suffocating him and unconsciously hating myself for it! 

This way of being was never intended for us as woman.

I am coming to learn the value of investing in myself. People may say it is self indulgent or selfish. But I can say with the utmost confidence it is the best gift you can give the world!

Nurture your own light and love!!!

Being in a place of utter contentment with who you are is a very rare beauty indeed.

Unimaginable for most of us. But I have slowly put in the hours of truly, undeniably loving myself. A friendship is built on hours of time spent in mutual trust and admiration. Not on a high of a look or touch. And so it is with yourself.

Time must be invested in oneself so that you may and WILL have that rare beauty of loving yourself!

“Society can paint this picture that we are only beautiful if we are sexually desirable.”

A few weeks ago, I went to one of my favorite 2 day concerts ever- Dave Matthews Band! However, I was appalled by the number of beautiful girls that felt the need to wear next to nothing! I understand as females that we want attention, we want people to look at us and think WOW…but there is a difference between Wow and Woah.

As a woman, (holy cow- calling myself a woman is weird) we want to be sexy and beautiful. We want to be noticed and we want to be appreciated for who we are and the way we look and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! However, to me sexy doesn’t mean we should wear as little clothing as possible and showing off all of our mystery. I know we all can relate to this feeling of the media is constantly pressuring us with their perception of beauty- which happens to be focused on showing all your secrets. To me, being sexy and beautiful is an attitude. It’s dancing around your bedroom in sweatpants, it’s challenging yourself to grow in areas that might not be your strength, and it’s rocking a killer new outfit, it’s wearing a dress to feel girly, it’s embracing my curves, it’s wearing my tight fighting jeans, a fun tank and some studs on my shoes. It is simply based on the attitude you have about yourself.

Trust me- the outfit that shows all your gems might get a double take from a cute dude, but a sexy/beautiful attitude will grab someones attention and leave a lasting impression. Besides, who wants to spend a ton of money on clothing that BARELY covers you? Anybody with me?? Above are some SEXY/BEAUTIFUL outfits that are basics you can find at almost any department store for reasonable prices! Finally, look in the mirror and tell yourself: “I am beautiful, strong, and so worth loving!” If you need to write this on your mirror and put it on a notecard to place by your door before you leave for the day.

BE BOLD

For me, throwing myself into fashion was a huge personal healer.  Having the right outfit empowers me and gives me self-confidence.  I am able to become whatever I feel like with an outfit.  I don’t have to be a size 00 to feel like I just stepped off the runway! Famous fashion designer Michael Kors once said, “ Fashion is about loving yourself.” And that is exactly what So Worth Loving is about- self love.  

We are each blank canvas’s with the ability to transform ourselves into works of art by what we think, our choices, and how we dress.  The most beautiful art pieces aren’t the ones that are perfect, but the pieces that have imperfections.  There is beauty in our flaws.  So yeah, I’m not model gorgeous, but I can look as good as her with the way I think! Here are some looks to inspire you and remind you that you are So Worth Loving…imperfections/mistakes included. Being imperfect is perfect.
