I’m learning, now more than ever, that life is all about balance. Especially at this stage in my life, balance is key.

For example, there are days that I just feel like I have it all together. Laundry’s done, house is clean, I’ve showered, dinners are made, I’m caught up on e-mails… etc. Life is good. Things are smooth. And then, the next day I find myself barely able to function like a normal human being. I’m running late, I look awful, I don’t have any energy to do what needs to be done, I’m forgetful, I’m feeling overwhelmed.

And then it’s back to normal. Or something.

It just proves to me that everything is cyclical and that’s OKAY. Everything is on that pendulum and goes back and forth from one end of the crazy spectrum to the other. Haha! You know what I mean… right?

There are just countless examples of the “balance” of life that I can think of. My diet? I mean, come on… some days I’m like “EAT ALL THE VEGGIES AND SALAD AND FRUIT!” and then the next day I’m like, “Is that a donut? Pass the cheese fries.”

Balance, y’all. Balance.

Style is like that, too. In so many ways… you need to have balance in your outfit – not too many prints, or a balance between flow and structure, colors, etc. And then there are some days when you get dressed and think, “YES. This outfit. I look awesome!” And then the next day you’re all like… “Hmmm, yoga pants sound nice right now.”

Balance.

I think the important thing is knowing that and understanding that it’s OKAY. Be comfortable in finding the balance in life… or at least trying to. 🙂
