Personal Style | The heart wants what it wants
When push comes to shove and you're left to choose between A and B, it isn't as easy as soul-searching a bit and making a choice. If it was that simple, we'd all be living our lives like Pinterest-esque motivational quotes. But no, it isn't—decision-making is tough stuff. It's driven by situations we live in, folks surrounding us and the point we are at that moment. It can take a whole lot of blood, sweat, tears and fill us with apprehension, regret and finally, freedom. It needs the strategy of your mind, the strength of your body and yes, the satisfaction of your heart. But don't give your heart a free-hand at the wheel. He's a tricky guy who makes emotionally-pleasing choices that can turn out wrong. Getting your heart and mind on the same page is half the job in itself. Because once you do, making the right decision will be so simple. It'll make your soul sing, lend you peace of mind and give your heart exactly what it wanted.

When it came to this outfit however, I gave my heart free rein and it came up with this spunky athleisure look. I know, I overuse the word athleisure but I can't get enough of it! This time around, I've embraced classic breton stripes in a figure hugging silhouette with bardot sleeves. Over it, I've thrown together a worn-in denim shirt and crossbody mini bag. However, it's my newest possession, the stunning Nike roshe all black sneakers that stole the look and my heart too. I paired it with a loose curly bob, large lashes, a hot pink lip and matching fuchsia nails. With its sporty touch and feminine flair, this look is whole lot more than my heart can handle.
