Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy

When I saw this fringe graphic shirt hanging on the rack, I snagged it with a quickness.  I've been a lover of all things fringe since before it became trendy again.  I love the fact that this particular piece has the detailing along the sides of it.  It's also super comfy in a faux suede material that's stretchy and hugs the body with ease.

Graphic shirt : It's Fashion $5.99 (clearance) | Pants: Previously owned | Boots: Previously owned | Purse: Previously owned

I pulled it off the rack and read the thought provoking graphic printed with gold foil lettering.  These words ring true for me.  Everything I've gained in life has never been handed to me.  Sure some things have been gifted here and there, but as the words state, "nothing worth having comes easy".  To me, that means everything I perceive valuable won't be easy to obtain.  And, I'm okay with that.  Victory is sweeter when you see that all your hard work has not been in vain.

I have major goals that I plan to accomplish in 2016.  This top serves as a reminder to myself that hard work and dedication will pay off in the end.  The fruits of my labor will be so sweet, I just know it.  I decided to pair this with a black long sleeved knit tee.  When the temps rise again I'll wear it sleeveless.  I also wanted to try wearing this top with my trusty, worn-in camo pants that you've seen on the blog before.  You can check out some recent posts here and here.  They are soooo comfy.  The faux fur purse is a previous purchase from years ago and my black boots have been on constant rotation since the temps dipped (I promise I own other shoes...lol.)

I hope you have gained some inspiration from this post.  Remember to try new things and have fun with fashion.  Thanks for reading!  What things do you consider valuable that weren't easily obtainable?  Drop me a line below, I love to hear your thoughts!
