True Beauty Files: The Senti-mentalist

November 5, 2012

True Beauty Files

Posted 09/12

{Sweater: Gap (similar), Tank: Guess (thrifted), Coated Jeans: H&M (similar), Flats: F21 (similar here or here), floppy hat: H&M , Necklace: c/o LYLIF, Tote: Asos}
Gabe bought this hat for me on our last date.
I am drawn to hats (surprise- its an accessory;)) and I like to think of it as something I inherited from my grandmother. She has quite the collection of hats of all shapes and sizes, and they each have a story to go with them. My grandparents never had much money, but she always made sure to look her best and wear her finest to church on Sundays. This hat made me think of her as soon as I tried it on. 
I am realizing more as I get older how much of a sentimentalist I am.
I don’t think I will be sleeping much in the next few days as the elections approach. 
So much is at stake, and never has the country been so divided on moral issues in my opinion. (Well at least not since the Civil War.) Gabe and I already voted with early voting here in GA. Trying not to stress, and just keep praying God will allow us a strong leader for our country. I think with young children, the future has never felt more important.
Happy voting! 

The True Beauty Files
A lookbook for the modern modeste.
“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.” 
~ Audrey Hepburn

    I’m super stressed about Tuesday also! I am praying, fasting, and voting. We desperately need Mitt. I fear for the next 4 years for myself and for my children that will have to deal with this crushing debt. I vote Tuesday.

  34. Carly says:

    Can we talk about the hat envy I have? I adore hats but have always purchased them in black/grey…I am DYING for a wine/oxblood one…have my eye on one from Boden…I think I should pull the trigger, seeing how adorable you look in yours.
    Hope all is well. My family is still without power here at the Jersey Shore after Sandy, but considering some lost their homes…we are counting our blessings.
    Best to you always.
