Hello Fall. The trees are about to show us how lovely it is, to let the dead things go. Learning to let things go has been the constant theme of my life this year, and even more so this season. So far I have been struggling with depression, financial stability, mental health, loosing friends, and feeling the stress, and anxiety of pursuing my dreams and being in my mid twenties. I feel that I am in a very pivotal point in my life. But on the flip side, I have been feeling, and witnessing myself peacefully, and quietly outgrowing certain friendships. I have been blessed with so many amazing opportunities for my music career. I got a new job at the Tulsa World, a job I’ve wanted for a very long time. I have been practicing letting go of unhealthy thinking, and I feel my vitality. The quieter I become, the more I am able to hear, and I have been listening. The Universe is calling me to vibrate higher, and shed my old skin.

“Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you. But you decide what you are.”

Fall Style Tips:

1. Color Blocking is a great way to make fashion statements in the fall.

2. Pulling styles from past decades can help to personalize your own style. This year I’m really into 90’s fashion like velvet, tie dye, and nose piercings.

3. You don’t have to match, to have style. Sometimes not matching at all makes the most fashionable statements.

4. Pulling inspiration from nature, such as colors, is an easy way to choose a fall wardrobe.

5. Be you always. Find out what makes your approach to fashion different then others. Take style ideas you make like on a celebrity, or another fashionable person, and make them your own.

I have always dealt with depression since child hood. But now that I am an adult, depression has taken an even more bigger role in my life with all of the stress, and anxiety of being a young adult. What I am learning is that your mental health vital to your success in life. Mental Health doesn’t discriminate among race, social classes, gender. No matter how good someone has it, they can still be struggking.
