Style Scouting: Vol. 53
Happy Sunday, friends! Can it truly be August 1st?
When I starting writing this post, I did a double take at the calendar thinking I read the date wrong!
Now that it is actually August, my mind is going into planning mode for the months ahead. Thoughts not only about how I want to decorate for seasonal changes, but live the best life I can, have all been going through my mind.
I also reminded myself that…
… “Life is too short to be the caretaker of the wrong details.” Don’t hesitate if you want to do or change anything. Go for it!
So don’t let August slip away… I hope you can get out and enjoy it! September is going to be here too soon.
