Confession time: I have a perfectionist streak. I can get really caught up in details and I tend to take on more than I should because I know that I will get things done the “right way” (aka way I want them done). Anyone else feel me? I can’t say that I hate it all of time (I mean I feel like it’s helped me accomplish some cool things), but it can be a bit exhausting.
As I’m getting older, I’m trying to let go of more control, and actually accept help. The world doesn’t end when everything doesn’t turn out as perfectly as I have envisioned in my head. Maybe I’m getting a little heavy for a Friday, but I’m embracing imperfection (just like my necklace from Lonye’ Lynn is reminding me to!)

That top is too cute, I love the lacy bottom!
I’m a perfectionist too and it’s hard to give up control sometimes!! Love that necklace!
That’s a really cute outfit! I love the necklace!

SO DO I! It is so hard to let go of certain things when they don’t feel “perfect” to me!
I love this!! I’m trying to learn how to embrace imperfection myself. It’s quite the journey. ;P I wish you luck with it! And that top is lovely, by the way!

I definitely take on more than I can handle sometimes and it can be stressful, but one of the things that keeps me happy is taking some time to myself everyday. Usualy it will be watching an episode of something, or some youtube videos, or blog reading. I find this so relaxing, and I try to split my weekend into a day of being out and a day of staying in a snuggling up in bed with some tea and my laptop 🙂
What cute sandals! Adorable.

I am also a perfectionist. The necklace is a lovely reminder. I love that sweater with the hint of lace. Very feminine! Susan
