Happy Friday everyone! I have another flat lay featuring these cute Sam Edelman floral flats. I am attempting to do a little pattern mixing by pairing them with this plaid button down shirt.
I got this plaid shirt last year at Old Navy, but found another One Here that comes in similar colors. I also like this Shirt too. I just love the blush floral pattern on these Sam Edelman Flats. They really do go with a variety of fall outfits. You can check out yesterday’s Post to see what I styled them with there. Floral patterns, the color blush, and embroidery are all big fall trends. I also included this Pink Ribbon Pin that Estee Lauder is selling for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

I was thinking today that I hope I didn’t overshare too much with you all in yesterday’s post! I questioned whether to share that many details. As I stated, every breast cancer patient’s experience is different. Doctors’ opinions in care will also sometimes differ too. On the other hand, it has always been very therapeutic for me to talk about it! Fortunately, I have not known many women who have been through this experience. When something like this happens, it helps so much to talk with someone who is dealing with the same thing!
My post though today will be the last one on this topic for a little while. This month will always be very bittersweet for me but not just because it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is also the same month when I found out I had breast cancer. I am very grateful for the awareness raised during the month of October. I’m also thankful for all the money raised that goes towards research to fight this terrible disease! It has saved my life and countless others! I think it is very important to educate ourselves on the importance of early detection, mammograms, and self exams. So with all of this in mind, please don’t misunderstand what I am about to say.
I don’t know if any of you who have dealt with a devastating illness and survived feel like I do. But I am ready to just move forward and forget. While I will never truly forget it, I ready to live my life out as normally as possible. I just want to enjoy each healthy day I have. I really don’t want to always be reminded of the fear and pain of it. While I hope my story is helpful to others, I don’t want my life to be only defined by being that girl who had breast cancer.

I just started reading your posts and I really like them, both the fashion and the message. The messages really hit home. Thanks for being so ‘real’.
Thanks so much! I’m so glad you like them!
Dianna, I loved reading your post. I find myself sometimes not living fully and as happily as I should. I tend to let loneliness get the best of me. Thank you for your words of wisdom. I appreciate it. God bless!
Thank you Katie!
