I think we’ve all experienced it; and if we haven’t…we all will. That moment when you know things must change and you simply can’t carry on burying your head in the sand.
For me, that day was Monday…and I’d like to send out a massive thank you to my friends on twitter and facebook for being there with the words of support and encouragement, and to everyone who has supported me over the last couple of years.
Who’s going to join me in a fresh start? In realising there are some things in life that shouldn’t be there to hold you back? With the festive season approaching I can think of no better time to take a deep breathe and just live.
I’ve wasted so many years holding myself back, and Monday…Monday made me take a step backwards and realise what truly matters.
Wearing: Zara floral shift, New Look tights, Jeffrey Campbell boots.

I hope this day comes soon for me, I’m finding it ver hard at the moment to take the big step I know i need to.

i totally agree about a fresh start. I’ve been writing my book for the past two weeks (and I’m now 26k words in, woohoo!) and am now starting to grab the future in both hands. Who knows, maybe by the new year I could be on my way!!
Love the boots by the way! 🙂

I’m so proud of you!
So true, life is for living and it’s for living for you – not everyone else [I totally need to remember that because I’ll forget it when my mam tries to guilt trip me into going back to the UK].
And who cares how many fresh starts we all have?! hehe x
I feel like that so much of the time. Good luck in your fresh start 🙂

new year, fresh start, things can only improve!
in other news though, I love your boots. as corny as it sounds, put your best foot forward in those & it will all work out well xxx
Completely agree, onwards and upwards :), keep telling yourself you can do it, positive thinking works wonders.
I LOVE thos Boots, gorgeous xxx
I’m pleased for you lady 🙂 Think about yourself now!
I love the shift dress, shifts are perfect to throw on, and this one is gorgeous x
I completely understand what you mean about wasting time, I feel like 2011 has completely passed me by. I’m starting to feel like I can change things, but I’m scared I’ll just lose control again…
Having said that, things are starting to look up and, for once, a cheesy saying is actually helping me (here goes): “When written in Chinese the word crisis is composed of two characters.
One represents danger, and the other represents opportunity.” Cheesy huh? But I do think it’s important to seize the opportunities that often come along with a crisis.
You come across as a real fighter in your blog, so I really think you can do this.
xx
Laura you look gorgeous, this dress has to be one of my new favourites.
You are one of the kindest people I have met though blogging. And I just want you to know I really respect and admire your courage. You will get there and when you do it will be right xxx
Looking inwards and loving is only something you can do. Hugs xx
Laura, you can do whatever you set your mind too, i believe in you xxxx
You are one of the most amazing people I know. You can do it and I will be your personal cheerleader/cake maker to get you there 😉 <3

Best of luck with all your endeavours. Your outfit is so sunny!
Sorry to hear things were getting you down Laura, but it sounds like you’ve got the right idea. Can I have some of your positivity please? You look gorgeous as always too. xxx
I really need to get my life in order and decide what I actually want to do with it.
Lovely dress x
Love that picture, definitely need to take it on board!
Those shoes are amazing!!! I love their color. You look adorable 🙂

I also wanted to say, and got distracted by those SHOES, that we all understand! Getting set back stinks, and it sounds like you are going through something pretty stressful, but in the end… you will come out stronger, smarter and more of a beautiful person than you already are – so, it’s worth it.. in a round-about way 🙂
such inspirational words and so true. I’ve been letting my dislike of my uni and my course hold me back so much and I really shouldn’t any more :/ I hope you’re ok and good luck with everything, just keep smiling and you’ll get through it all – fresh starts are always a great thing to do 🙂
Love your dress too!!
Take care <3 Holz oxo

Your dress is so pretty and I really like your hair! Yeah! 🙂
Hope that you’re doing ok. I like the sentiment Laura. I think you’re right, everybody has a time in their life, or everyone will, where something has to give. I think for me that was September when I started my new course. I hated uni as a final year undergrad, I left with few friends, a bad experience, bad memories and a shadow of the person I used to be, particularly when it came to meeting people and making friends. I’m glad I made the decision to be myself, but to make a fresh start with being a whole person and being positive.
I hope your fresh start is positive, and you look absolutely freaking gorgeous with the dress and boots combo, simple but beautiful.
Life your life the way that you want to, never be held back to anything. You know what you want to do, and this fresh start should get you there 🙂
Hope you’re okay 🙂 xxx
Great dress 🙂 I love it! x
This outfit looks gorgeous on you! It’s so bright and optimistic (the flowers and orange tights) and perfectly accompanies the mood you’re displaying in the post.
Hope you’re well! xx
