Fashion post: My take on “Obsessed: All the Non-Fashion Things Fashion Girls Love” by Meghan Blalock for WhoWhatWear

    I was inspired to do this post after reading “Obsessed: All the Non-Fashion Things Fashion Girls Love,” a February 27th, 2015 article written by Meghan Blalock for WhoWhatWear.
I was counting up the number of things I loved from that list aforementioned in the title of this post, and I decided to write my spin off from it.
1. Being kind and treating everyone with respect, while paying attention to God tops my list. I wear my religion in my heart, but I believe this should be at the top of my list. Sure there are times, when I have to place my foot down. Sure there are times when I make mistakes. At the end of the day, it is important for me to remember I have blessings because of a higher power. His motivates me to live how the higher power would like to live, to the best ability I can.
2. Life. Everyone’s life is full with ups and downs, and I have to say I’m blessed. There are wonderful people, and wonderful opportunities in this life. I’m excited for better opportunities to happen.
3. Smiling. Cannot emphasize this enough.
4. Coffee and sweets. Who doesn’t love an iced coffee and a chocolate croissant or a Magnolia Bakery cupcake every once in a while?
5. Flowers. Who doesn’t love lilies or pink roses? Who doesn’t love a Portmeirion China pattern with pretty flowers?
6. Lunch with friends. I love this idea, but have been so busy, I didn’t have a chance to do this in so long. This is definitely better than going out at night, when you need to be responsible and show up to work the next day.
7. Art and Jewelry. I love art, and I have taken many art classes. I no longer have time to do that, so I design outfits I will wear around things I already have, which are based on current trends. See future blog posts for details.
8. Planning a day around shopping trips
