Gamiss for Affordable, Trendy Fashion

So let's be real, my body has changed.  I put on the "freshman 15."  But I'm not a freshman...  Adult life gets busy and I made sacrifices to get to where I am in life.  I'm proud of where I've come, but in the process I got totally out of shape.  

I don't want to invest in pricey pieces since I've decided I'm getting my groove back.  Gamiss was nice enough to give me the opportunity to try them out.  

Trendy V-Neck Floral Print Slimming Women's Romper

I love rompers and this print caught my eye.  This outfit can be dressed up or down, is light and comfortable and totally does what it claims, helps slim my waist.   

I did, however, have to use fashion tape to keep the top from exposing my goods.  No bigs.  

Plus it gives the illusion that I have legs_for_days!  #legsfordays

Fashionable Round Neck Floral Print Layered Women's Tank Top

Lately I have disliked my stomach.  I had a beautiful, flat tummy until I got diagnosed with PCOS and it feels like overnight it became my problem area.  If you have this issue then flowy tops are your friend!  But pair them with something more fitted on the bottom for a streamline look. 

Sizing for these items was a little confusing.  I ordered the romper in a large, which I'm glad I did because I think it would have been too short in a smaller size.  The tank top is a small and is roomy and comfortable.  I also ordered the Trendy U Neck Sleeveless Printed Women's Maxi Dress in a large, but it was too big and was unflattering.  When ordering I erred on the side of ordering the size corresponding to my biggest measurement, but I think you could get away ordering your standard American size.  

All in all I really liked Gamiss and will definitely order form them again.  There clothes are fashion forward and affordable, which means I can splurge from time to time without feeling guilty.  

Hard is what makes it great

Today was a weird day filled with lots of different emotions.  I am grateful for this path I am on.  I'm grateful that I have been blessed with a lot of opportunities and that I have people who encourage me to reach for the stars and follow my dreams.  Today was really emotionally draining though.  It is hard to be a novice especially when in daily life you are a seasoned vet.  I'm trying to learn, grow, and be the best I can be in my limited capacity.  I really want to be taught this beautiful profession, and thrive.  Helping people is something that makes me feel whole.  It gives me a sense of purpose.  Today was just off...

My first birth was amazing.  Today, September 11, 2015, I helped to bring a little Virgo into this world.  She was born at 9:11am.  I believe in signs and that birth will always be so special.  The intensity of the situation made my body shake and I felt out of my element.  But I did it (with help) and she was perfect.  I believe in signs and can't help but think that was a sign.  I'm on the right path.  I have to stick with it.

I just wish I felt better about today and didn't feel like such a burden.  Hopefully this situation gets easier.  I ideally would like to feel more positive about my experiences.

All in all, I'm proud of myself.  I did well, I learned a lot, and I survived.  I have to remember that every experience, both good and bad, is a necessary lesson to be learned that will only make me better.  He has something planned for me and I know it will be great.  I just have to take everything with a grain of salt and to to do my best.
