Super Woman

I got some funny looks from the men in my family when I came walking out dressed for this photo shoot. But really, why shouldn’t I wear a Super Woman shirt? Some days are more productive than others, that’s for sure. But keeping my family running is no small feat! I figure a little encouragement along the way can’t hurt!

This entire outfit is from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale and I’ve been anxiously awaiting fall temps so that I can wear it. Still waiting. But the mornings are chilly lately, so I have hope that fall is coming! I usually buy one pair of jeans during the sale, but I figured I could get away with two if one of them was colored. Ha! In the end, though, these grey jeans are the only ones I kept. They are soft, have just the right amount of stretch, and hold their shape well. They are also a higher rise, which I’m still getting used to but I think I like.

My booties are the perfect transitional shoes for fall and spring. They will actually work pretty much year round here in the Bay Area since we don’t get much precipitation. But, the perforation won’t be great for cold weather, so I will likely wear these most wear in fall and spring. I love the look of the perforation. They come in several colors and I had trouble deciding which one to get! I also like that the heel is super low so it’s perfect for running around.

Lately, I haven’t been feeling too much like Super Woman, but a dear friend graciously reminded me that I’m not even five months out from losing my mom. A few people have told me that it takes a full year before you start to feel like yourself again. I think that is true. I’m keeping up with the demands of everyday life, mostly, but I simply don’t have the capacity to take on anything else. That’s frustrating for an efficient Type A personality like me! But I know that grief is a process, and I must preserve the energy that I do have for my healing and my family. Perhaps that’s the true meaning of being a Super Woman. 😉
