Hii! Happy Friday! This lightweight, loose-fitting pink blouse from Chicwish is a recent favorite. I would normally wear a pair of skinny jeans with them but, since it’s been so hot, I decided to go for a pair of boyfriend fit, distressed denim shorts. These run a little big but I think they are so cute!
On the Bachelorette’s Men Tell All on Monday, Chris Harrison and Kaitlyn touched on something that bloggers fall victim to at times: cyber bullying. I’d like to encourage you to read this article. I really, really enjoyed what Kaitlyn had to say about it. I know from experience, that it is EXTREMELY hurtful when people hurl their opinions out there about things that you have said, worn, or how you’ve dealt with something, etc. For that reason, I purposefully keep myself from seeking out opportunities to read negativity. It’s not healthy at all. I have a very small circle of close friends and family, and those few people are the people who are allowed to speak constructive, life giving advice into my life. So, I just want to join Kaitlyn in encouraging you to think about what you say on social media. If you don’t like someone … if what they do or who they are annoys you to the point that it brings up insecurities within yourself and / or encourages you to be a less than respectable human being …. put some healthy boundaries up and be intentional about maintaining them. Unfollow them. Don’t visit their site. Don’t watch their show. Etc. We’re not all meant to agree, but we are meant to love one another. And, sometimes … the best kind of love you can give someone is to just leave them alone.
NOTE: This isn’t me speaking out because of something that was said about me in particular. I honestly haven’t struggled with other people’s negativity in a long time, but I remember that hurt and know that this issue needs to be brought up more. xo.

For the most part, I have the sweetest gals who come and visit my site so I want to thank you so much for that. I appreciate y’all so very much! I hope y’all have the best weekend, and if you have any questions about cyber-bullying or what I said above, I’d love to answer those.
Thanks for stopping by! xo.
With love & sequins,
Haley

I like your matching bag and shoes
Hi Rae- I can't figure out how to link my name to my blog, like how you have your name at the top redirect to your blog. How do you do that?
Right now, my name hyperlinks back to my Google + page and it is driving me crazy!
I would love to know how you achieved this.
Thanks!
Joss

Such a great post! I am relatively new to the blogging world and (knock on wood) have not experienced any negativity from my readers yet, but I hope that when it does happen I will be able to not take it personally.

Firstly, great outfit. Secondly, GREAT article. "Be yourself" has been a message that has resonated with me in the last few years that I've finally learned to accept who I am as a person. As a student leader at my alma mater, I've been in very positions where I've been able to spread this message to the community, and so it always brightens my day to see other people in the world, like you and other amazing bloggers, contributing to that positivism via the online world where it's so easy for people to hide behind their computer screens.
You keep doing you, girl! Cause you're pretty darn fabulous!

Amen! Thank you for posting this, it needs to be said more often! I wanted to let you know that I love your blog and look forward to reading it daily. What I love most about your blog is not the clothes or accessories (though I do love those a lot too) but your strong faith for God. I truly admire your courage, strength and faith. Sometimes I struggle to share my faith and you have been a good role model to me for doing so! Thank you!
"Sometimes the best love you can give is just to leave them alone." Pretty good stuff there Haley!
I am a very non-aggressive person and even have a hard time criticizing those I am close with, I just prefer to offer praise instead where appropriate!) so I always have the hardest time comprehending people who cyber-bully. It blows my mind the things people say, like if you don't like it just don't say anything, it's not your life anyways!
Thanks for using your platform and influence for good!

I love your blouse. And about the haters – I love when such people spend an hour to write hateful comment and when they click publish, they realize I have to approve it first 😀
I can't stand such people without personal life and dignity. If I have nothing to say nice to someone, I'll keep silent … I'll never be the person who spends hours to write hateful comment and ruin day to someone other.
Head up, lovely girl
