You Are Beautiful



You stand in front of the mirror, no smile in sight, wondering why you're so ugly, why your thighs are too fat, your teeth too yellow, hair to thin, too many dots all over your face. "Why's" float around in your head as tear drops fall from your eyes. You don't even realize:

You are beautiful. You are loved. You are special.

Oh but my dear girls, no matter how many times your family tells you, or your friends envy you, you won't believe it. I could shake you and yell over and over the truth, but you still wouldn't realize:

You are beautiful, You are loved. You are special. 

You rely on how many boys seek your attention, which girls tell you you're pretty, and what society says, to make you feel worth something. And when those boys leave you, when those girls start making fun of you, and the media fails you, you go back to the dumps and you think:

I am ugly. I am hated. I am worthless.

My darling, you will never truly feel beautiful, loved, and special when you tell yourself over and over you're not. You will never feel beautiful, loved or special when you rely on others, and cry when they fail. Your self worth comes from within. That voice that whispers to you all your insecurities, that is who you think you are, but no:

You are beautiful. You are loved, You are special. 

When you look into the mirror and see your flaws, and tears start welling up and threaten to spill down your face, look again. Smile, and tell yourself what so many other people see:

You are beautiful. You are loved. You are special.

And when that boy tells you he's done with you, when those girls laugh in your face, when society tells you you must be a size 0, you won't need to cry, or runway and hide. No, because you know now:

You are beautiful. You are loved, You are special. 

With Love,

Magical Tights





Dress//Macy's. Top//Burlington Coat Factory. Cardigan//Target. Tights//Target. Shoes//Payless. Necklace//Forever21

Hello,

It's been a little while since I've last updated this blog, and it's mainly because I really haven't had much to talk about. Life has been pretty uninteresting lately. Eat, homework, sleep, repeat. That's all I have had time for, but I'm glad to be back with an outfit post for you all.

I wore this today for my private school classes I take once a week. I've been feeling sick and very tired the last few days due to my cold, so I thought if I'm not feeling well, I might as well try to look good to convince myself, and others, that I'm fine. It worked, at least for me. I've been looking forward to wearing these tights all summer, so now that I had finally gotten the chance, it was bound to give me higher spirits. Hopefully I'll be feeling peachy again soon, though, and won't need my special tights to get me through the day.

With Love, 

Elizabeth

Harvest Season






Hello,

It's that time of the year again, can you believe it?! I don't know about you guys, but October sure sneaked up on me and slapped me in the face. It seems like just yesterday I was on summer vacation, but now I'm looking for the perfect pumpkin, getting pulled around in wagons by my brothers, and drinking my favorite apple cider. Next thing we know, we'll be putting up Christmas lights! Too far? Yeah I'm not ready to start thinking about Christmas either.

For now I'll try to navigate through Fall, wish me luck!

With Love, 

Elizabeth
