dress: White House Black Market  ¦ shoes: Jessica Simpson  ¦ sunglasses:  Spy Optic

I was fortunate enough to get this dress from my aunt who passed away from breast cancer two years ago. She had the most impeccable style. She was intelligent, extremely thoughtful, and drop dead gorgeous. She did everything with such great care whether is was decorating her house, cooking dinner, wrapping gifts, or dressing. She didn't wear much makeup (she didn't have to), she ALWAYS took pride in the way she dressed, even if she was just in the house.

I'm terrible about always caring about my appearance. If I don't have somewhere to be, I typically look like a hot mess. I wear workout clothes on a daily basis and no, I don't work out every day or really at all for that matter. Something I'm trying to work on is taking pride in my appearance on a daily basis.

Thought of the day: What will people say about me when I pass away?
