Hey Mickey!


Welcome back everyone and I hope your having a great day! Fall semester begins Monday, so earlier this week I spent my lasts few days of freedom at the "happiest place on earth" in Orlando. For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to go on the hottest day on earth (108 degrees). It was obviously hot for Mickey too because I didn't see him anywhere (probably enjoying air conditioning). Aside from that snag, it was a great mini vacation.

Since my trip was short, I packed light. Correction, I packed light compared to how much I usually pack. Its really something I'm working on but I love to have options (indecisive). The most important thing to remember for packing,as far as clothing,is comfort. Especially during the summer, light and airy pieces are the way to go. I mainly stuck with shorts and wore pajama pants on the first day because I wanted something effortless. 



DAY 1: Relaxed

I love wearing prints so I was gravitated towards this pants although,I wish there were pockets.When wearings prints, solid colors look best with them. Accessories in my opinion should be minimal because the print is the focal point.




Top:Cotton On
Pajama Pants: Wet Seal
Sandals: Jessica Simpson (Macy's)
Cross body:Steve Madden (Ross)
Necklace:Guess Outlet Store
Aviators: Gifted (Thanks Courtney!)

DAY 2: Disney Animal Kingdom

When your going to an amusement park, its a good idea to wear the hair up (it'll definitely get frizzy).You can always accessorize with a headband or hat. I wore the same pieces of jewelry from the first day because it matched both outfits (less work), and I don't like traveling with a bunch of jewelry. In addition, I went back to the 90's and choose these jean overalls. I'd been looking everywhere for a pair at a decent length and price. You can easily wear a bandeau, tank top, or crop top under overalls, but I prefer a simple t-shirt.



T-Shirt:Levi's Outlet Store
Overalls: Wet Seals
Sneakers: Coach (DSW)
Headband: Urban Outfitters 

DAY 3:Shopping

We couldn't leave Orlando without a "quick" peek in the outlet stores.I choose something simple again and jazzed it up with gold accessories. Sandals are my favorite item to add to an outfit and I wear this pair all the time. I just really love the details and they're like a nicer version of Birkenstocks (no offense to anyone).Small bags are also a must because you don't want to carry around a big purse with unnecessary junk(guilty).

Devotional Corner
"The Right Path" 1 John 2:15-16 

15"Do not love the world or anything in the world, love for the Father is not in them.16"For everything in the world-the lust of flesh,the lust of eyes, and the pride of life-comes not from the Father but from the world."(NIV)


Interpretation
The world offers many things that can be appealing but, that doesn't always mean  it's good for you.It's important to remain true to yourself and avoid being easily swayed , especially in college, by something or someone that doesn't align with your path (goals,values, etc). In addition, material things are not always bad. When you focus on them too much,however, it takes over your life. For example,like any other young adult,I use my phone a lot. When I feel myself getting too drawn, I take a break and talk with someone in person, read, get organized, or just focus on God.Ultimately we all should strive to be ourselves without negative influences and limit concentration on the materials.When we focus on them, we draw attention away from God;Who just wants to spend some undivided time with us.

Stay Chic!
