2017 Outfit Round-Up!

I can scarcely believe 2017 is coming to a close. I know this year was difficult for many of us, and I wish I could say with certainty that this next year will be better. The truth is that I don't know that it will be. But I'm going to do everything I can to try to make the best of things and bring joy to those I love in the new year.

It was a challenge to keep up with my blogging over the last 12 months, but it's also been a wonderful respite and creative outlet (as always). To that end, I'm looking back on 2017 and sharing some of my favorite highlights in outfit form.

January   ||   February   ||   March

April   ||   May   ||   June

July   ||   August   ||   September

October   ||   November   ||   December

Did you have a favorite post from this past year? A definite highlight was my trip to NOLA with Ashley, but I also loved going on weekend outings with my mom, spending time with my work besties, and getting to experience lake house life with my boyfriend's family. Despite how difficult this year was, there were some great moments too. I'm still making my resolutions, but I'd love to hear about yours.

Have a safe and healthy New Year's Eve! Hope to see you here in 2018!

Summertime Outfit Roundup

Happy Autumn! I feel like this summer really flew by – but maybe that's because I managed to fit in so many fun things! Here are some of my outfit (and real life) highlights from the past few months:

June

Never Never Land  ||  Lilac Lane  ||  Sweet dresses + sweeter friends

When life gives you lemons  ||  Strawberry Patch  ||  Poppies + Popovers

In June, I went out in search of lilacs, poppies and strawberries! I busied myself with rehearsals and received dresses from my dearest friends. I even won an Instagram contest! It was very nice start to the summer.

July

Shortcake  ||  Barbecues + Boat Docks  ||  Choo choo!

Cherry Orchard  ||  Gingham girl  || Painting the roses red

In July, I went cherry picking and visited a rose garden right in the middle of the city. I also visited a transportation museum, watched fireworks and performed in an awesome show. July was a pretty memorable month!

August

Rose of Sharon  ||  Pals + Pastels  ||  Anchors aweigh

Garden Royale  ||  Popcorn Love  ||  Aeroplane

August was filled with friends on both the west and east coasts! I finally met both Kate and Ashley in person, and it was wonderful to find out that our friendship extends beyond the Internet. I also got to see old friends, and it was nice to know that time and distance doesn't change real, lasting bonds. Plus, I saw a few great movies, went to Disneyland and the Renaissance Faire, and ate a lot of yummy food!

What was your favorite thing you did this summer?

What a novelty (Flock Together)

Hi, everyone!  I'm posting over on the Flock Together blog today, and since I didn't have a chance to take photos with any swapped items from the other girls, I'm doing a personal round-up of one of my absolute favorite fashion elements: the novelty print!  Head on over to Flock Together to take a peek at some of my favorite printed looks from the past year!

Have a happy Friday!
