To Whomever is Reading This: Thank you. I know it might not *seem* like I'm appreciative for each of you, but I am. I am, I am, I am. You guys who follow and read and comment along are the reason I continue to do this. Without your support I would have given up years ago... I've been able to connect with so many wonderful people since starting this blog and I don't think I'd be as fulfilled in my life without you all. So thank you for making 2017 another great year. I'm so excited to see where we go from here. 

Goals for Next Year: I want to do a more in-depth blog post about this in the New Year but...
-Get back to being great at emails (I've fallen off)
-Plan ahead for when I know life will get busy
-Be more active with my followers
-Continue to grow the blog
-Save more!

2017 Fashion


As I do each year, I look back at the year in outfits and pick out my favorites! This year I tried to narrow it down to one per month and really hoped to incapsulate my year in fashion. I hope you enjoy! You can see the full looks by clicking on the photo or the link below it. 

















See my year in fashion from 2015 / 2014 / 2013 here!

And don't forget you can look back by season (Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer), by Holiday and by Work outfits all under the Fashion tab at the top of the page!

My Most Popular Posts of 2017


Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas filled with lots of family and love. This is my favorite time on the blog because it's a lot of review and reflection -- starting with the most popular posts of 2017 -- NONE of which are "true" outfit photos (meaning just linking the clothes and talking about them) but ones that are more personal and insightful. Hope you enjoy them all over again!
