2012 Style Recap...

Happy New Year's Eve my loves!

I can NOT believe that this year is about to come to an end already! I just can't accept it! I guess time really does fly when you're having fun!

I've learned and accomplished so much this year-blog wise and personally-it's been really busy for me. So much so that at times it was a struggle for me to keep up. But I did and I made it to the very end.

I've made a ton of new and totally awesome blogger friends, I've contemplated giving up blogging altogether, I've felt horrible for not being able to blog more, and now at the end of this year I'm finally settling into the fact that I can only do what I can-especially as far as blogging is concerned.

Then there's the style portion of it all. Looking back over this last year, I have definitely seen my style evolve.

Let's take a look...

I've gained some wonderful inspiration from my lovely blogger friends so I can not forget to express my huge appreciation for their flyness! In an effort to keep up with all of the latest trends, I definitely saw myself go overboard in the shopping department and that's not good. So for the year of 2013, I plan to make more of an effort to shop my own closet by remixing the items that I already have.

I'm incredibly excited and looking forward to what 2013 has in store! I hope you all will continue to stop by and take this journey with me.

Thanks so much for visiting. Until 2013!!!!

Let The Skirt Do The Talking...

Happy Thursday my loves...

I feel like I am soooo behind! With work and school starting again, I'm just a tad bit overwhelmed.

Please excuse me if I haven't been the greatest blogger friend lately. I promise to catch up on reading, commenting, and replying to all of you as soon as possible.

Anywho, lately I've been on this whole closet purging kick-in fact I've talked about it here and here. But I promise to you that just when I decide that I'm fed up with having an overabundance of items in my closet and limited space to store new things, that's when I seem to find the cutest of cute pieces to pair together.

This, for example...

Shirt-Thrifted (Old Navy)

Up until recently, I wasn't a huge fan of skirts!

I mean, I think they look great on the hanger, but on me-well that's a different story!

Skirt-Thrifted (H&M)

The funny thing is that about a quarter of my closet is filled with nothing but skirts.

Perhaps it's safe to say that I'm a bit obsessed with them now!

Especially this one...

It's so bright, flowy, and colorful!

I feel like style is often a direct representation of your personality and this skirt describes me to a tee!

And believe it or not, it was thrifted from Goodwill. H&M tags still attached!

It had me at hello!

Since summer will soon be coming to an end, I wanted to make sure that I wore as many of my cheery colors as possible.

Being that the skirt had a plethora of colors in it, I was easily able to pair it with the cap toe heels that I DIY'ed in this post. I've been dying to wear them and it was only right that I did so with this 'fit.
