Feeling Alive Again + Snakeskin Print Wrap Dress

After many dark days, I’m seeing some light.  It’s crazy and hard to explain but it feels good.  I feel alive again. For the first time in years, I feel like myself.  I feel strong.

People keep telling me what I’m going through is a gift and I finally get it.  It’s as if I’ve been re-born.  I’ve been set free from the pain I’ve endured for years.  I feel like this is my second chance at life and happiness.

This may not be how I envisioned or hoped my life would be like but I’ve come to terms with it.  Sometimes we get so caught up in what we want our lives to look like that we will basically do anything and put up with anything just to keep that facade. I feel more motivated than ever to persevere.  I share my thoughts and feelings with you to give you hope if you happen to be a dark place.  I didn’t think it was possible but it is.  You have to believe it.

This photoshoot HERE was the first time since I started blogging that I felt like myself.  The photos were definitely darker and moodier but I love the change.  I’m obsessed with the navy lace dress I wore in that post and it’s on sale for only $40.

On another note, I wanted to share with you this snakeskin wrap dress.  It’s a limited edition and available only online.  I love the subtleness of the print and color.  So light and feminine.  There’s six pieces available and I also have this pleated skirt which I love.  See the full collection HERE.

Sizing runs true to size and I’m wearing size 00 petite.  The dress drapes beautifully and love that there is an additional snap for coverage.  The tie waist pulls everything together.  Love it and would recommend! 🙂

  3. Wow. I saw this on their website and didn’t give it a second look but it looks beautiful on you. It makes me want to try it on.

  4. Have been following you for about a year and just loved the darker mood in the pics with the navy dress. Stay strong and be you.

  5. Fear and Darkness is a lack of Faith*** Have Faith, and live in the Light Annie! Please know Time Heals, Life is Good, and You are Blessed! Truly, Kelly <3

  6. Your story gives me hope. Going through a dark place in my marriage and it seemed never ending. You blog today felt like it was directed at me. I’ve held out waiting for change that now I see will never come. The hurt is unbearable but your story gives me hope that I will be ok. You are a inspiration… thank you.

    • Aw omg this brings me to tears in so many ways. I am SO sorry to hear that you are going through difficult times with your marriage. It is not an easy thing to handle and it almost feels like death. Please know that you will get through this and come out even stronger. I didn’t think it was possible to feel the way I do now but it is. Just take it one day at a time and don’t be so hard on yourself. Take time for YOU, love YOURSELF and do not give up hope. The light will shine and the sun will rise. Sending virtual hugs and prayers. XOXO

  7. So happy for you. I love the dress on you. Beautiful. I saw this collection and wasn’t quite sure about it. Now, after seeing you in the dress I think I’ll have to give the collection a 2nd look. Thanks for showing.

  8. Hi Annie, glad you are doing better. I’m not sure what happned but if it’s about your marriage, always remember that “this too shall pass”.

  9. Thrilled that you’re doing better!!!

    We love your blog. Thanks for all the hard work you put into it.

  10. Hey there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have
    to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I
    wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously
    appreciated!

  11. Greetings I am so happy I found your webpage, I really found
    you by error, while I was looking on Google for something
    else, Anyhow I am here now and would just like to say cheers for
    a incredible post and a all round entertaining blog (I also love
    the theme/design), I don’t have time to go through it all
    at the moment but I have bookmarked it and also added
    your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read much more, Please do keep up the fantastic job.

  12. This is my first time go to see at here and i am really impressed
    to read everthing at alone place.

  13. I don’t even understand how I finished up here, but I believed this post was good.
    I don’t understand who you’re however certainly you’re going to a famous blogger for those who are not already.

    Cheers!

  14. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something which I
    think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for
    me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang
    of it!

  15. Greate article. Keep posting such kind of information on your blog.
    Im really impressed by your blog.
    Hey there, You’ve done an incredible job. I’ll certainly digg
    it and personally suggest to my friends. I’m confident they will be benefited from this website.

  16. Hmm is anyone else experiencing problems with the images on this blog loading?

    I’m trying to determine if its a problem on my end
    or if it’s the blog. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
