HI! I’M SUZANNE…

After working as a fashion executive for almost a decade, I’m now a stay at home mama to 3 kids and live on the North Shore of Chicago. I spend my days shopping online, decorating my new home and trying to get in a good workout, all while trying to play with my kids and getting the baby to sleep. Mom life is hard, but it can be sweet… XO

Slowly easing into the whole not wearing loungewea Slowly easing into the whole not wearing loungewear thing. It’s a process. 😬 Are you wearing real clothes yet?? 👇🏻 
 
I wore this new cardigan + lace cami to breakfast this morning (before promptly changing into...loungewear when I got home. 🤷🏼‍♀️) When I say this cardigan is perfect, I mean it’s PERFECT. And it’s currently 40% off. I’m wearing XS. See it in stories + shop it all here —> http://liketk.it/3cGHJ #ltkunder100 #ltksalealert

So excited to be included in this month’s @sheri So excited to be included in this month’s @sheridanrdmag Shore Vs. City feature! It was so fun + I’ll take any excuse to dress up and be pampered a bit. 😉  
 
Also, in case you see pretty pics + forget what goes on behind the scenes, I need to let you in on a little secret: I was scared.  
 
I was scared I would mess it up. That the photos would be awkward (hey 👋🏻), that my answers to the questions would be lame. That overall I would...come up short.  
 
Still, I said yes, anyway.  
 
I said yes through the fear and I decided to be brave.  
 
I’m telling you this because I think it’s all too easy to assume that other people aren’t scared. That you’re the only one.  
 
I can honestly say that literally ANY time I’ve done something out of my comfort zone, I’ve been scared. (So pretty much like anytime I deviate from my normal everyday comfy routine. 😬) 
 
Being scared isn’t bad.  
 
I think being scared just might be the first step in being brave.  
 
(Oh and also. I don’t mean like “in your gut” scared. Listen to your gut. That’s a whole other post. 😉) 
 
Thank you to @robinsubarphoto + @theresa.demaria.stylist for making the whole process not at all scary! 🖤  📷 @robinsubarphoto

I still feel off and overall pretty down, but it helps to do little things that make me feel like myself again.  
 
If you’re going through a tough time and catch yourself feeling worse after scrolling Instagram, please know you’re not alone.  
 
Also remember that chances are, there is so much more to the story than just a pretty photo.
