My Plans + Goals for 2018 Featuring The Beret Trend

Hey lovers, after much thoughts I decided to make a post about my plans and goals for 2018 which I already wrote since last year.

This is the very first time I am consciously making plans and goals for the year, so, I do feel nervous about it…. But I am enthusiastic. 

I made this post so as to keep myself accountable and in check…. And in as much as I’d like to move silently, I also want to carry my blog fam along if you know what I mean.

My Outfit

I wanted to go for a street style look, and I achieved this by pairing my denim with a Camisole. I went for distressed denim because i love them(they add sass to my look when i don’t even try to be sassy)…lol. To add some extra edge to the look I threw on this Shirt I got from a friend’s wardrobe and wore a Red Beret(which I got here) to add more colour to the look. Pulled on my favourite sandals which I already wore here. I see two trends in this look; The boyfriend shirt and the Beret trend.

Other ways to style this look whilst eliminating the basic

*Without the beret- throw on a belt to highlight your curves😍 

*Without the Shirt- just so you can show off your great skin😊

*Without the denim- if you want to put them great legs on show😉

My Two Cents||Resolutions and Plans

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog and if you are new here…. You are very welcome😊. 

Its the last day of the year and there’s a lot of speculation as regards the new year. People are beginning to talk about resolutions, people making plans for the new year(am guilty of this🙈)….with everyone trying to make the best of the coming year and generally just be better at who/what they are and do respectively.

Why am I writing this post? Well, I just really want to share my two cents concerning making plans and resolutions for a new year.

I’d like us to know that we really don’t need to beat the past year’s mistakes, accomplishments and progress( like yes, its okay to celebrate and all but keep it minimal)… Why? because there’s a whole lot more of opportunities the new year will birth, new, maybe better opportunities. We just need to recognise and grab the opportunity.

Also, realise that you are still the same person as you were the year before ….and just because you’re in a new year doesn’t necessarily mean that you are a new you. No. I say if you don’t make a conscious effort to change some of the things that you actually do not like about yourself, you’d still remain in that same old spot you were, year in year out.

Sorry to disappoint you, but just as I have come to the realization of it that if you don’t make moves, the moves won’t make you. You have to take a step towards progress before anything can happen. Plus, don’t just make a move… Make a Smart move💁, think clearly, and implement.

The God Factor- some of us just plan forgetting the God factor. Truth is, you may not know what God’s plan is for you, but whatever you plan…carry God along in your Prayers. Prayer is the key to all doors…. PRAY. May our prayers be answered🙏. 

In a nutshell, avoid making plans/ resolutions based on your emotions as it will wear off after the month of January(am being honest). Now, you don’t want to make short term resolutions/plans, do you?

Okay guys, so that’s my two cents about planning/making new year resolutions….I hope you enjoyed reading as much as I did writing it. What do you think? I look forward to reading your comments.

Don’t forget to like, comment and follow the blog. You can also hit me up on social media @iamashabee (Instagram and Twitter).

 Thank you so much for the support thus far, I really appreciate you all and 2018 promises to be a better year for us🙏. I love you all❤❤❤

Happy new year in advance🎉.
