Always Be Yourself

From time to time, I enjoy writing a short and sweet little post reminding all of you of the importance of being yourself.  

I know we all worry sometimes about what others would think of us if we "did this" or if we "said that". It is natural to feel this way, but I encourage all of you to forget about what other people think and just be who you are.

The way I see it is that life is too short to be worried about what other people think of you. If you are funny, be funny. If you are clumsy, be clumsy. And if you are silly like me, by all means be silly!

Of course, it isn't always easy to relax and be comfortable with who you are. But I promise that once you learn how to accept yourself, you will be a much happier person ;)

  7. I couldn't agree more with you Marie, I mean who else are we gonna be but ourselves hey? So thanks for the reminder. The colour of the dress is absolutely stunning and I'm digging how you layered it over the shirt and how you braided your hair.

  8. I'm in love with your dress, Marie! <3 Such a great colour and I love skirts which make twirling around even more fun, haha.


    You are absolutely right about being yourself; and the perfect example of this. From what I've seen you've got an amazing personality and there's no reason why you should hide that. People can learn something from you! <3

  10. Love how happy you look in these pictures, if I've learned something from blogging, is that someone always has something to hide. I don't know why people don't like showing their real selves! Just be yourself, as you say!

  11. Such a lovely little post here--and so true! Even if you only end up with 3 or 4 friends who like you for who you are, that's better than having 100 who you have to change personalities around... yeah? :) hehe <3


    I love the layering here. Your color scheme is very mermaid, and I like it lots. Such a pretty blouse!~~
