The day that I wore this outfit will always be remembered as the day that I met THEE June Ambrose. It was definitely a moment for me. 

So, if you didn't know, I want to let you know that it's cold in New York; like, disrespectfully cold. You can look out the window and see the sun but that's really just a mirage. The sun is doing NOTHING for these sub-polar, frigid, ice cold temperatures.

For this look, I chose to stick to a grey color palette. I went from the lightest of light greys picked up in the faux fur vest to the darkest of dark greys in the over-the-knee boots. 

I was warm. I was grey. And I was happy.

"It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?" - Marianne Williamson

Ok, sure, my first time hearing this quote was while watching the movie Akilah and the Bee. Judge noteth. It was a great movie! When I heard it, I had to find it and read it for myself. It's so easy sometimes to get caught up in the what ifs:

What if I don't make it? 
What if I lose all of my money? 
What if I fail? 

Well, what if you succeed? 
What if you make it? 
What if you are blessed beyond your wildest dreams?

We are all meant to shine.... SO SHINE BRIGHT!
