Y’all, HOW is it already almost Friday??! I’m not complaining, mind you, but it just seems impossible!!
Today I wanted to share something that I really love and enjoy wearing all summer long! I guess I actually love wearing it all year long but summertime just seems so appropriate for Navy and White.
Maybe it’s the nautical vibe that it lends or possibly I just like the fresh feel of that rich navy against the crisp whites, but this combo is one of my all-time favorites.
I can remember as a little girl my mother always making sure that I had a navy and white outfit for church every summer. Some things just stick with you I guess!
This is the easiest little shirt! Just your basic tee really, but the cute ruffle detail on the sleeve gives it a bit of personality!
I’ve had these pants for what seems like forever. I love the pattern and the cut is just right for me. I usually wear this look with wedges or some comfy flats.
This combo has been my summer go-to for as long as I can remember, and maybe that’s a bit too long to hang on to any garment but I just can’t bring myself to toss these little gems out!
I’ve linked some really adorable Navy & White finds below! Browse through and get your nautical vibe on with these winning separates!

Inspiration For The Heart~
This weekend I heard a quote that brought a smile of relief to my face and I knew I wanted to share it with you.
“There is no power in perfection.”
Wow! Do I Ever Love This!! And it’s really so very true! Although, I feel like most days my heart and soul don’t really accept that truth – it’s still comforting to me somehow…. God can use me – right where I am, in the middle of my crazzzy and exactly as I come!
Now don’t get me wrong… I fully realize that I am not perfect. And the older and older I get, the more I accept myself for who I am and where I am in this life. But so often I think we strive to only share and display our perfect moments.
All you have to do is scroll through Instagram and that’s a proven fact! If y’all think that I wear flowing dresses and 5 inch heels every minute of every day… you are sadly mistaken!!!
We live in a world where every hair is not always in place and our lipstick is not always on straight BUT let somebody break out a camera and those adjustments just have to be made. And the same can be said about our emotional place as well. We’re always “doing fine” and so often wearing a smile, while inwardly the truth remains hidden.
So what about revealing what is REAL? Real Struggles. Real Pain. Real Hurt. And Real Fear.
How can I ever know that I will get through my hard reality when you are not willing to share how you made it through yours – or that you ever even had one??!
This thought has helped me to open my heart and my life more and more every day. And trust me, that continues to be a struggle.
People often mention how wonderful it is that I share my journey through my breast cancer battle and the highs and lows that go along with it. And that is true, to a point, BIUT there are those days…
Life has taught me over and again that it is in my imperfection that God shines brightest!
He is strong when I am weak. He is peace when I am forlorn. He is hope when I am hopeless. He is the answer when I can’t find my way.
And the ONLY way you will ever understand what He has done for me is to know how where I’ve been in my most imperfect times. Those moments when I could not, yet for the grace of God.
So as you share your life and your story with those around you, remember the importance of the imperfect you! There’s so much purpose there so don’t be afraid to let Him shine through your imperfection!!
Y’all have a beautiful day!! And thanks for sharing some time with me today!!
