Chic Boutique by Christen and Company

I’ve been thinking about what I wanted to share this week, and, I decided maybe I should just share where I really am. Lately, I’ve been struggling 😐

Struggling with pain, to feel motivated, to get up, to be creative, to feel valued, and to know what direction I’m supposed to be going. And, if I’m really truthful, there have been moments when I’ve wondered, Does what I’m doing even matter? Maybe you’ve been there too.

It’s a strange place when you’re usually the one with the ideas, the plans, the lists—the one encouraging everyone else to keep going—and suddenly, you’re the one standing still.

It reminds me of standing in front of an overflowing closet saying, "I have nothing to wear."😂 Everything is right there. You just can’t seem to put it together or feel creative today. Life can feel that way too. Often feeling- I should be stronger. I should be more motivated. I should have this figured out. I should be farther along. I should be able to handle it.

But, maybe we don’t need to figure out the whole outfit today. Maybe we just need to 'PICK ONE PIECE.'
~One thing we know is good.
~One prayer.
~One conversation.
~One little idea.
~One step forward.

Because sometimes motivation doesn’t come before we move. Often it meets us along the way. Our value isn’t determined by how productive we’ve been, by how much we accomplished, or whether someone remembered to tell us that what we’re doing matters. We all want to feel seen. We all want to know that what we pour our hearts into means something.

Maybe life is a little like getting dressed ~ some days the pieces just don’t seem to come together the way we thought they would. So, we keep trying things on, making adjustments and moving forward. Because sometimes the outfit we end up loving looks nothing like the one we had planned.

Maybe life works that way too??
We just have to trust that God already sees how all these pieces fit together; even when we don’t. So, maybe today we don’t need to have everything figured out.

Get dressed.
Put on the good jeans.
Add the necklace. 😉
Say the prayer.
Do the next thing.
And... remind yourself: I don’t know exactly where I’m going from here… but, I’m not done yet!! Pick one piece. Take one step. Keep going. 🤍christen

Boho meets denim in the best way. 🖤 This paisley sleeveless top brings all the color, while the soft dusty teal gauze layer keeps it relaxed and effortless. Add a great pair of flares, black western accessories, and a little fringe—and you’ve got that easy, pulled-together look with plenty of personality.
Wear the gauze shirt open for layering now, then lose the layer when the day warms up. Two looks in one! ✨

Denim + warm caramel tones = the perfect transition into fall. 🤎 This easy denim top paired with flowy wide-leg pants gets a little extra personality from that gorgeous printed scarf. Comfortable, flattering, and just the right amount of boho — this is an outfit you’ll reach for again and again!

Let's GO Tornadoes!

Soft, pretty, and effortlessly pulled together! This look mixes dusty rose, creamy neutrals, and a touch of fresh green for the perfect transition-season palette. The lightweight button-down and scarf add just enough layering, while the cream denim keeps everything bright and easy. And that little green crossbody? 💚 The cutest pop of color to finish it off!

One blazer. Two totally different vibes.
Go sleek in black-on-black with a little edge, or lighten it up with classic denim, creamy neutrals and warm accessories. That leopard blazer is the statement piece that pulls it all together.
Because leopard isn’t just a print—it’s practically a neutral. 😉
Which look are you grabbing: BLACK 🖤 or DENIM 🤎?

BOHO WEDDING GUEST STYLE 🤎🌸
Wedding season calls for a little romance, a little boho, and outfits that feel just as good as they look!
🖤 Classic with a Western Twist — Our black maxi gets a whole new attitude with a statement belt, blush crossbody, long pendant necklace and soft neutral sandals.
🌸 Romantic Boho — Warm florals paired with a rich brown belt, cognac crossbody, gorgeous orange necklace and neutral sandals make this one ready for celebrating.
Two completely different looks. One perfect reason to dress up. ✨

Who says western can’t have a feminine side? We layered this gorgeous navy sheer lace top under our vintage-inspired western graphic french terry sleeveless top, then paired it with dark denim slim bootcut and a fun western sandal. The mix of rugged + pretty is SO good!
Wear the pieces separately or layer them together for a whole new look. That’s what we call getting more mileage out of your closet! ✨
