Daydreamer

I am a dreamer. Not just big dreams of the future like what Vivian will be when she grows up or where we'll retire but even little ones like what she'll wear on her first day of kindergarten and where our next date night will be.

I dream all day long. It's not overthinking but truly dreams.  It's optimistic aspirations I enthusiastically ponder. I find the future and its possibilities so fun! 

Note: some dreams that I once had were to be an Optometrist, have 4 girls (just like little women) and to compete in a fitness competition. 

Here are some of the big dreams I'm chasing that I really hope will come true!

BE PUBLISHED IN SOUTHERN LIVING MAGAZINE.

It's my favorite magazine for so many reasons but to sum it up, the beautiful Southern culture of home it shares. I would ideally like a feature on a side column for either or both style/fashion or our home design. I really want both because fashion is my passion in helping ladies dress beautifully but I also love decorating our home to reflect us.

Note: I originally set this goal for when I'm 30, then 40 (that's in 2 months) and we laughed as my sister and I said how about 50! 

GO TO PARIS.

I've never been to Europe! This dream is luxury and the one that seems the most far off. I studied French in high school and college and have always found the culture, fashion and country so so beautiful. I would most definitely want to do a lot of shopping! England, Italy and Spain are also on my list.  A whole European sabbatical!

WRITE A BOOK.

Since I began my blog I've had aspirations to take it further in writing a book. It would in fact be titled 'Dress Beautifully' with a subtitle of inside and out. I would share my core styling techniques along with inspiration throughout from my own words, my Mamma's, quotes & scripture to encourage readers that it starts on the inside in your heart. It would share dressing yourself for an array of occasions as well as beauty and etiquette tips.

OWN A BEACH HOUSE.

I would love to spend Summers with Ryan and Vivian escaping the city for the sea. To have a place of our own that we can fill with memories and all the seashells and sharks teeth I can find would be nothing short of amazing! I envision Vivian working some during the Summers at a beachside business, Ryan golfing and me reading under an umbrella with my toes in the sand with us all reuniting for grilling supper and evening walks. The door would be revolving with family and friends and all the laughter we'd share. 

Dreaming of all the things that could come is exciting but I also practice loving where I am with what I have. I'm absolutely ok if these things stay in my dreams because I already have more than I could ever deserve in my wildest dreams!

Please share some of your dreams with me!

Dress Beautifully in Your Daydreams
