"The story of becoming beautiful isn't about the ugly duckling becoming a beautiful swan at all; it is about the ugly duckling realizing it was a swan all along"....
The cold is creeping in even more as the days edge further into November now. Long sleeves are needed more and more. This top has been sitting in my wardrobe for months as it was too warm to wear, but it's making good use now, it feels really soft as well. But, I loved the swans, there is something magical about swans. So full of grace and elegance and I always loved swan stories as a child. I always thought the ugly duckling wasn't an ugly duckling but trying too hard to be like everyone else that he forgot what made him special & I think that applies in real life too. We are all beautiful swans, but when we try to be too much like others, this is what makes us 'ugly ducklings' because we are covering up our beauty with something second rate. When we embrace all that we are & focus on self-love, we celebrate the gifts that we are. That's why it's important to take care of yourself - inside & out, find happiness and live your best life!! Spreading love & happiness with the world - starts with ourselves. So go and be the swan that you are & never settle for second rate...Have a gorgeous weekend dollhearts.

bellissimo look,amo i colori
ReplyDeletethank you!
DeleteI always loved stories about swans too. I always found them beautiful! Much like peacocks, these is something so elegant and magical about them. One time I found a story about a red swan originating in Native American oral literature online. It also features a plot about a girl who transforms herself into a swan but if I recall well it has a happy ending. I need to look at it again.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, you look wonderful. I really like your shirt...and the colours of this outfit fit you so well.
That sounds fantastic, I like that. I'll have a look into it. Thank you so much lovely, I hope you had a great weekend x
