Fabulous Friday + Needing Some Advice

via
OP can’t go wrong, ever. How fab is this entire ensemble?! I’m not entirely an oxfords girl, but uhhh metallic ones, hello! Such a chic look for summer errands and weekend fun! 
Ps, I want to apologize to y’all for being a horrible blogger the last month-and-a-half. Graduating coupled with starting my new job so quickly thereafter has really thrown me for a loop in terms of learning a new routine and managing my time. I’ve been thinking long and hard about how to combat my lack of blogging and have been having some difficulties… some nights (okay basically all in the past two weeks…) sleep just trumps everything else. I’d love to hear from you! Any advice or tips you might have for juggling blogging and life would be so appreciated.

    Juggling a job and blogging is definitely tough! I just try to think of blogging as a second job and do a little something each night before bed, but I must admit I am with you on sleep trumping blogging some nights :/

    Girl, this is my struggle too! I started my blog when I was unemployed, so I had all the time in the world to dedicate to my baby. Once I started my new job, I really struggled to keep up with a posting schedule. I’m still learning to balance, but what I do is set aside a few hours/day to plan out posts for the coming weeks and write as much as I can at once. I also keep running draft emails, notes on my phone and post-its at my desk of future posts I want to write. Some days are harder than others, but working a few weeks/days out has been the best route for me. Good luck!

    I still struggle with this so you are not alone! It’s tough finding the time and energy to blog when you’re working full time and all you really want to do when you get home is just relax. I try to plan in advance and keep my blogging binder full of ideas that I write down whenever they come. I also find it really helpful to try to write up as many posts as possible when I have the time. Some weekends, I’ll be able to schedule a whole week’s worth of posts, which makes it a whole lot easier.

    Hope this helps! :]
