Room for the Rosy

One of my favorite ways to end a day is to lay out an outfit for the next morning. I really love looking at style blogs and Instagram's and seeing how other people have combined clothes.  I save pics of outfit inspiration ideas and find it a lot of fun and a very creative practice to be intentional with what I wear. So here are some favorite outfits lately! In some of these my hair is REALLY short because I got it cut a lot over the summer. I also colored it, but am back to growing it out both in length and color for now.  Do you follow fashion/style accounts anywhere that I should know about?  Most of my clothes are from Target or thrifted! Sorry for the poor quality of some of these pics! These are usually snapped (when I remember) when it's still dark out in the morning. I really need to up my game as far as outfit pic posts go! But for now, this is my real life time to get a photo. I got these loafers on a whim at T.J. Maxx and loooooove them. They are the comfiest sh...

Hello again friends.  Hey, thank-you for reading this new blog of mine! It feels really nice to be back in this spot.  Did you make any room for the rosy this week? By that I mean, did you look after yourself and see to it that you had some moments of joy, gratitude, and just getting out and living without a to-do list attached the whole time?  That's totally my weekly goal and I get it if you're shaking your head no.  My life is really busy, full, and blessed with a community of friends, family, and students to tend to.

But both prove to be reliable for boosting my mood and carrying me through the day to day feeling lighter.   When I pause and take ten to pick up my camera or journal a list of good things it feels like sitting in a really crowded, loud auditorium that's squeezed with people ...

  Hi there and welcome to my third blog. I've been on a six month break from The Rosy Life blog, for no particular reason than it just felt time to let it go.  A few weeks ago I started noticing a prompting to honor "the many sides of Sara" (yes, I sometimes talk to myself like this!) and so I began picking up my camera and being more intentional with it again. I've certainly taken tons of photos over the past six months and have never for a single day forgotten to notice at least one beautiful or interesting thing or sliver of light.  But this prompting felt different. I surprised myself by having the recurring thought that maybe I'd want to start blogging again?....... So I will and am, starting blogging again.  The name and reason for an entirely new blog comes from one season of life gently folding into another. My first blog was called "Torbett To Be" and chronicled the time frame from my engagement until our oldest daughter was around six months ol...
