Hi! My name is Irene and welcome to my little corner of the internet. I was born and raised in beautiful sunny California originally an LA girl, until recently when my family and I made a move to Sioux Falls South Dakota making me a Midwest girl. I am giving this blogging thing a try as I travel half way across the country to a new life in South Dakota. I cant wait for whoever stumbles upon this bloggy blog to follow along on this journey with me.
I went to school for teaching little minds. I have a few degrees in Early Childhood Development and that is what my typical 9 to 5 job is BUT ya girl loves fashion! So here I am to share all the things I love… outfits, beauty, and lifestyle. My style is street style meets trendy + girly. I am a girl who tries to be healthy in mind and body but also LOVES french fries and has a on and off relationship with working out. So as i try and embrace who I am, what my body looks like, and manage my anxiety I hope to inspire even one person to do the same in their own life. I also want to to inspire others to find their style and make it their own no matter their shape or size.
No fans I didn’t forget you all I just kept saying I’ll sit down next week…then next week would come and go and I would say ugh OHKAY Irene next week. Now its been two months since I have sat down and put up my rambling words on this lil bloggie blog. Have no fear though I’m back!
FALL! my favorite time of year! Now that I live in South Dakota fall doesn’t equal FIRE season like it did in California. It actually means crisp air, leaves changing color, and sweater weather. Im loving it but picking out a outfit for the pumpkin patch last weekend felt so hard to find something cute to wear. When I looked at all my friends pictures from the pumpkin patch and they all have on cute rompers, skirts, and dresses on…. Im here like if I wear that my legs will turn purple and fall off. Not to mention I got really bad news the day before so everything that didn’t go great I had a melt down over. That whole morning I was a mess so I decided forget trying to be supper cute for pictures just find a comfy cute outfit and have fun.
I never thought I would be spending my 25th birthday in a new state, not at Disneyland, with basically ZERO friends, and without my mom. Lets just say this is going to be a hard weekend for me. I had so many plans for this birthday ya know its the BIG 25! I was so excited for my 25th for almost a year I knew what I wanted to do. I had made plans for myself and everyone from Friday to Sunday. Obviously I love birthdays especially my own. But plans changed and now here, I am in a new place, no Disneyland, no friends, and no mom…. I have spent the last 15 minuets crying by myself even thinking about writing this how sad am I.
We left extra early Saturday morning and guess who fell out of the huge moving truck? YUP! Thats right if you guessed me you’re right. Don’t worry I’m fine but the coffee cake I was holding in my hand… not so much. Anyways the drive was a long two day drive but we made it. My parents and I made it in time for the final walk through on our new home. We had split off from our group in the faster car so that we could make it on time, and in that car we had one of our dogs. Well we walked up to the new house excited to finally see it in person! Little did we know when we put our dog Khloe in the backyard so we could tour the house it would be the last time we saw her, because she would find a way under the gate and escape as we looked at our new home.
As fall draws near all I can think about is long sleeve sweaters and not sweating because its still 90 degrees outside. Just like this little green sweater I thrifted from Savers. I love it because it has such cute detail on the sleeves. It has balloon sleeves from right above the elbow to the wrist. The neckline is oval shaped and is flattering but odd in a good way. These mom jeans are from American Eagle as usual I’m too short and have to cuff everything. I’m 5’1” so yeah even short length pants are too long on me. If you know me you know I’m obsessed with white sneakers. So in this outfit I am wearing my all white Adidas Stan Smiths. My accessories are my fucci belt from Amazon that I love, my [I] pendant necklace also from Amazon, and earrings that are oval shape with flowers that i got form…. you guessed it Amazon.
Life Update: MOVING is officially my least favorite thing to do. I’m supper excited about the move but all this packing is driving me nuts! The excitement for whats to come in this move is exhilarating, and I cant wait for all things new to begin. I’m really sad to leave Los Angeles, I have lived in the same house my whole life like literally since the day I was born. I have an amazing church community at HillsongLA where I have gone to church for over 4 years. Leaving the people I have met at my time at Hillsong is going to be soooo hard! I always have said I will only miss my church and Disneyland when I leave California. Which is all very true…. but I will also miss my friends and family. I have such a close group of friends that I honestly don’t know what my life will be like without them. And as dumb as it my sound leaving Disneyland behind will probably be one of the hardest things for me to do. All jokes aside I have had a Disneyland Annual Passholder since I was SIX years old! That means I have had a Disney pass for 19 years..that’s crazy to me!!! Well this journey to a new state is sure to have its ups and downs especially emotionally for me but I’m ready for it.
