I wanted to dress the jumpsuit down so I just threw a jean shirt over it and tied it up. Cute right?
I saw this jumpsuit in the window of a random boutique in Atlanta. I looked at it from the window, and then kept walking. Every time I walked past that store, I kept eyeballing this jumpsuit...or maybe the jumpsuit was eyeballing me, I don't know. This has to be the only piece in my closet that I can't remember where I got it from... or how much it was. I don't even think I looked up to see the name of the store I was walking into, it just kept calling me!
So needless to say I wouldn't have the slightest idea on how to link where I got this item from.

I bought this piece in my early twenties and literally said to myself "this might be cute... one day." I put it in my closet and didn't dust it off for the first time till' about a year ago. I wore it to church and to a gala with my mom. I was so shocked on how many compliments I received, I guess I just didn't realize how bomb I looked in it!
Around the time I'd first bought it I remember thinking I can't wear this, it'd make me look older, this isn't really in my style range (like my age range...whatever that means) but I never threw it away. After all the times I've cleaned out my closet....I'd look at it and put it back on a hanger.
How many times do we see something attractive, or have a very alluring idea or set a goal for ourselves etc?
How many times after you have an awesome idea, do you talk yourself right out of it?
I can't go out for that job
I can't wear that dress
I can't start my own business
I can't go back to school
I can't afford that car
Im not in the position to buy that home
Blah blah bah
If those things weren't true....where in the world did you get the idea from in the first place???
Our lives are not meant to be lived within certain guidelines!! Why shouldn't you be able to do all the things you want to do? Whats stopping you? WHO is stopping you? Who told you, you can't?
Was it written somewhere in the imaginary book of "Things we're not supposed to do in life" or the book of "Things we don't deserve"
or was it even you? Was it you that talked yourself right out of a goal that would benefit your own life.
Until you've lived that dream...or reached that goal you'll always think "what if". Day after day, you'll keep hanging that dream right back up on the hanger, just like I did this jumpsuit. It's not going to go anywhere...you're never going to forget about it. Just like this jump-suit, that dream/goal will haunt you. Whatever your life's purpose is will continue to call you until you answer to it.
Just go ahead, and answer
