Does anyone else love a good cardigan that can be worn from season to season?! I bought this one a few months ago, so it has been with me throughout winter and now going into spring! A knit cardigan is the perfect tag-along during transitional seasons, as it can keep you nice and cozy but also be placed over your shoulders instead during those warm afternoons.

While I couldn't find this exact sweater for y'all - it's sold out! - I found a few good options that are listed below. You can always get a simple iron-on patch and add it to the shoulder/sleeve to make it more like mine!


When you look up the definition of wearing one's heart on one's sleeve, it comes up as making one's feelings apparent, or sharing them instead of hiding them. I have to say, I'm not the best at this. But at the same time, if you really look, my face pretty much says it all in regards to how I'm feeling. While I may not speak out too much about how I feel, I can still wear my heart on my sleeve.

These past few weeks I have thrown myself into work with my new job and the internships, still looking for that balance between work, the blog, and personal life. I think that one thing I'm a pro at is trying to run from feelings in attempt to block out the difficult ones. So I delve into work and try to help others so that I don't have to face my own emotions - that are usually scattered about for the most part.

If you have followed along or spoken to me personally, you may have noticed that I don't have a significant other in my life nor have I really ever. In the past it was more so because nobody ever really gave me a chance. And I guess you can say that's still sort of the case, but it's different now. For one thing, my standards are higher than ever. I first and foremost want a man that is following whole-heartedly after God. And I refuse to settle for anything less. For another thing, I tend to shy away from feeling anything for anyone. There's this ever present thought of "it's not going to work out" going on in my head, especially since I have seen things fall apart for many people in my life. If the guy isn't pursuing Jesus or has areas in his life that fall short, he just doesn't cut it for me, because I know that it for sure won't work out. After seeing it time and time again, you sorta just know what to look for.

I hope that makes sense at least a little bit. I've tried to wear my heart on my sleeve with this blog, sharing real life with you all. It's not just about the fashion or the pretty pictures, but it's about opening up and making sure that everything is true and held to that standard that I keep this blog as well as my life. I want to stay real with it all and in constant pursuit of Jesus, revealing how much more meaningful life is with Him at the center of it all. ♡
