Hello beautiful people!
I hope you’re having an amazing start to your week. 🙂
Last week I tried to push myself with sharing more of my days on Instagram stories, which to be honest made me a little nervous. Even though I choose to put myself out there online, it is still very scary. I feel like I do better in one-on-one interactions with people so I can really get to know them, see their body language, hear their tone, and gage their facial reactions. Portraying myself to an online community feels daunting at times because it feels like I’m throwing myself into a large space filled with many unknowns and people’s opinions that might not all be positive.
Ultimately, I found that when I finally took the plunge and just did the damn thing, the incredible feeling of overcoming my fear overshadowed the fear itself. It took months to muster up the courage to even do so, and it still feels really foreign to put myself out there everyday. But I’m a firm believer that if you really want to reach your goals, you will find a way to overcome your fears. I wanted to share this for all you boss b*tches out there and to let you know that it’s okay to encounter fear and feel it in its entirety. It doesn’t mean that you’re weak, not good enough, or not fit for the path you’ve set. It just means that you’re human, and that you’re bound to encounter some hurdles. We’re all in this together! ♡
Now on to this gorgeous tie peplum top from Love, Fire! I feel like this top is so great for so many body types because you can customize it and make it super comfortable for you. If you want it more tight fitting, then tie it tighter. If you want to layer some pieces under like a lacy bralette, t-shirt or tank top, then you have the option to make it looser to show them off. I don’t know about you, but I love functionality and versatility when it comes to my clothes. Dresses with pockets? Yes. Reversible belts? Yes. Multiple sizing options like this top? Hell yes!
Thank you so much for spending some time here on LVV. As always, I’ve linked a bunch of cute options below so you can give yourself that love that you deserve and feel amazing in a gorgeous outfit! Since I started this post on the topic of pushing through hurdles, I’ll leave you with one of my favorite quotes by one of my favorite boss ladies:

Thanks so much Nanna! I hope you have a great weekend! 🙂
Beautiful post & blog!! I feel your pain about the IG stories, I want to begin talking to my audience through my stories but can’t muster up the courage to do so & the sound of my own voice on camera makes me cringe lol! But hopefully I’ll get there!
Thank you so much! Honestly, I practiced a couple times just to get used to hearing myself talk in a video. I think the more you practice, the less “new” aka scary it’ll be! Even if it seems weird in the beginning, just go for it one day and keep encouraging yourself. It’s all about being kind to yourself during the process! I believe in you 🙂 <3
And your are :doing the damn thing: so well. Love a great crop top.
Thanks so much for the support!
