Why it's ok to say no

Earrings: Forever 21 Top: Chicwish c/o Jeans: Express Wedges: Jellypop c/o

Looking for a cute top to wear with friends or to work? I've got you covered! This top from Chicwish  would look so cute tucked in a skirt for work or with some jeans and wedges like I did for happy hour! This gorgeous mesh ruffle top makes me look so sweet and innocent but that doesn't mean I don't know how to stand my ground. As of recently I have had tons of people asking me to do things for my blog and post things that just aren't me and aren't something I would represent. It's hard in the blogging world because if you are a 'yes' person like me, you typically want to say yes to everyone. I'm always like well what if they never email me again or what if this is my only chance....blah blah blah. But if you don't feel confident about a product or whatever a company is asking of you, don't do it. I want you to apply this to your everyday life as well, not just with blogging. My mom literally says 'yes' to e v e r y o n e. She never does anything for herself and I'm trying to teach her that it's not selfish if she says no sometimes! Love you mom! 

This is your life and only you can take control of it. My friend Lindsay just started a podcast called Let's Get Real and it is so empowering! I told her after listening to it I truly felt like I could conquer the world. Don't let other people dictate how you run your life, remember you only live once! :)
