Grey Maxi Featuring Shop Pink Blush

July 18, 2016 By Ruthie Ridley 74 Comments

Ben and I just got back from Monterey last night with the family!! We had a great time, but it was exceptionally cold this year!! I will give you all a full re-cap of our annual family vacation later on this week.  It’s Monday and I wish we could extend the weekend!

I am back to work today and I am trying to adjust to the recent pick up of the kids extra curricular activities.  Ava recently made a competitive soccer team which requires a 2 day a week commitment in the evenings in addition to games.  Savannah is in gymnastics two times per week at 2 different gyms.  She has recently advanced levels which is super exciting for her.  Judah will be picking up soccer for the first time this September and that is when the true juggling act abilities will be tested! LOL… Not to mention, all of these little guys will be in some form of school this Fall.  I will have to let you all know how Ben and I adjust! I’m sharing this as some form of processing as well as the joy in all the madness of life.  We love watching the kids grow, learn and discover their passions.

This is look 2 out of 3 featuring Shop Pink Blush.  Last week I shared a striped cold shoulder maxi dress featuring Shop Pink Blush.  As I stated in my previous post, these dresses feel more comfy than jammies! This is my favorite maxi this season!! It is super flattering and I could sleep in it! My sunnies were 4.00 at Charlotte Russe, my shoes were on sale at Marshall’s for less than 30.00 and my bag is from an LA based company called Hammitt Bags. This happens to be the softest leather clutch I have ever owned and it is stunning!!!

How was your weekend?! Do you have any exciting plans for the week!? Wishing you all the most incredible week ahead.  Much love.

Ruthie xo

    That cold shoulder look is amazing on you! Love the shoes and clutch-I wouldn’t have thought to pair heathered gray with tan details but the effect is amazing!

    Love the grey maxi, it looks SO incredibly comfortable and super chic…that’s a win!! Love how you paired with those killer Marshall shoes!! Your weeks sound like what mine will in a short couple of years. My kiddos are 5, 3 and 2 but we are currently juggling dance, lacrosse and tennis camps and just finished a week of Vacation Bible School. I am actually looking forward to the school year because it does give me a more consistent schedule. Have a great week 🙂

    I love how you rock these dresses! This one looks perfect on you! Love those wedges too! The kids are in summer camp two days a week and will have swimming lessons this summer. We passed up all soccer events so that we could enjoy the summer without crazy commitments. I know how hard it is to juggle but it becomes second nature after a while. Good luck my dear. You and Ben will get through it and the kids will love you for it (as long as they’re into it). ? Xoxo

All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.

    Tarot helps you to get a much better understanding of yourself. It teaches you the motives that are even concealed to yourself. In that way Tarot can bring peace in yourself and give you a better life.

    I simply wished to thank you so much once more. I am not sure what I would’ve gone through without the entire methods contributed by you about such subject matter. It had been a very intimidating circumstance for me personally, nevertheless coming across a new well-written manner you resolved the issue forced me to leap for contentment. Now i’m happy for your support and trust you realize what a powerful job you were carrying out educating most people thru a web site. Most probably you haven’t encountered all of us.

Online hate is wild to me. People behind a screen saying whatever they want not realizing it actually affects real people.

I posted a simple cute video of Ben and I going from regular clothes to our work uniforms. it went viral, which is a chance you take so I got a lot of love which I’m thankful for but a lot of hate as well.. these were all strangers, people who don’t know that we’ve been married almost 18 years, have a beautiful family, genuinely love each other, and love what we do and the people we serve 👮‍♂️ 👩🏾‍⚕️ 🩺 

You expect it to some extent but I didn’t realize how much words could still affect me…I’m 41 almost 42. It really doesn’t matter how old you are words still hit.

I’m not sharing this for sympathy just a reminder before you leave a mean comment on someone’s page whether it’s a stranger, someone you know, or someone with a big platform think twice. Words matter & they  impact people more than you think.

To say I was shocked to be reentering the workforce is an understatement. Sometimes life shifts and you just have to roll with it 😮‍💨

I am SO thankful I had the opportunity to go back to work but it was hard. I felt like I failed in my business & I was down BAD 😝 But I realized something….God makes NO MISTAKES.

I LOVE my current job & I STILL get to create content, but now it feels more authentic and true to who I am😌

If you’re new here, then I’ll give you a little bit of a backstory but also if you’ve been here for a while because a lot has changed in the last year 🤪. 

I became a nurse at 19 after graduating high school early, raised in a very purpose driven Jamaican home. Nursing was never just a job for me. It was provision, connection, and a way to serve people from all walks of life.

In 2020, I stepped away from nursing to pursue content creation full time, and it truly felt like a dream!!! The biggest blessing was the time it gave me with my family. Being present, raising my kids, and soaking in every moment 🥲

Then almost exactly a year ago, May 15, God called me back to nursing, and I couldn’t believe it. The transition was not easy, but it has been one of the greatest blessings. My heart is so full, and I have never felt more aligned in what I do.

God knows what He is doing. He makes no mistakes 🤍 Where are my nurses, law enforcement, and first responders at 🙋🏾‍♀️
