If you've been keeping up with me for some time, I'm sure you're aware that I've been on a dieting journey pretty much this entire year. And I'm not sure if you have noticed, but it's been bringing a lot of positive effects on my blog as well as my Instagram account (@graceyourself__).

Slowly but surely I am seeing progress on my journey, and I am trying to make progress on other parts of my life including my blogging life.

So just to kind of kick off this post, thank you friends, family and all followers who constantly show support and love. (:

I've been gaining more confidence over time because I've been working harder than ever to lose weight. With the right photographer along with this new confidence I have, it's easier to bring out the bolder poses. Thanks for these photos, Becky!

Shirt - Hollister (www.hollisterco.com)

Jacket - Zara (www.zara.com)

Shoes - Steve Madden (www.stevemadden.com)

Clutch - Goyard (www.goyard.com)

These are some of my current favorite pieces, even though I do have quite a bit of new favorites in my closet. I love the floral bomber jacket because it's perfect for this Summer to Fall transition kind of a weather here in LA. It's not quite cold enough to bring out the sweaters and the knits but cool enough to throw on a light jacket like this.

And this clutch is a great size and addition to almost any of my outfits I've been enjoying lately.

Even though my friend still calls it the FedEx bag, I absolutely love it.

Just look at that beautiful, colorful jacket. It gives such a pop to the outfit that I think is so flattering with all the neutral colors I paired it with and if it wasn't weird to repeat my outfit every single day, I might even want to walk out of the house wearing this outfit all the time.

I am such a sucker for shoes and these shoes are the perfect for so many different outfits. I love them so much and might have to even get myself a staple pair so they're present in my life at all times.

They're super comfortable, not too tall which is perfect to boost a little bit of height (I really need the help because I'm only 5 feet tall) without killing your feet or looking too dressed up.

What more can you ask from a nice pair of sandal heels?

I hope you are enjoying your week and are excited for the weekend as much as I am.

Stay tuned on my Instagram account (@graceyourself__) the following week for an update on my dieting journey, because it's coming. IT'S COMING! Haha TGIF to you all and until next time,

Grace Yourself.
