I'm slowly returning, lovelies!  I've had a wonderful holiday spending time with family and friends from near and far.  This is what I wore at my family's farm for Christmas.  Did any of you expect me to have grown up on a farm???  Ha! Believe it or not - this girly girl used to romp around the horses and cows in her frilly dresses.

I tell my parents though that their home is where nice shoes go to die.

Another fun part of this outfit?  I hate the color purple (don't hate me - I don't know why I just don't!) but I love this shirt!  The color is very pretty, the rhinestones are super fun, and I love the tiny tie in the back.  So fun and festive.

Did you all have a lovely holiday season??

My mom used to say when we would travel to my grandparents's house in Delaware that we could always tell when we got into Maryland because the roads were smooth.  I guess our sidewalks are kind of like that, too.  When I go on my runs, it's almost like trail running on some of these ways.

Anywho, I bought this dress last year, but I still love it.  I didn't know how I felt about the mullet skirt (sorry, hi-lo) but it's definitely grown on me.  The color is different, it's very proper, but I love the peek-a-book back (you may know, I'm a serious back detail fan).  The best thing about this dress & the back detailing is that you can still wear a regular bra with it!  I can't tell you how many times I have to hike up my strapless bra, which is so cute, lemme tell ya.

How do you feel about the hi-lo/mullet skirt style?

YAYYYYY!!! The weather is finally getting warmer and there is no snow on the ground!  I'm so excited to just be outside - I don't even need to be doing anything.  I just want to see bright colors and have windows rolled down.  I'm obsessed with this bright salmon trench.  It definitely puts me in the mood for sunny weather :)

After the Memorial Day wedding, I ended the summer with a Labor Day wedding.  I've had this dress for a while now, but I never had the occasion to wear it.  And wow is it comfortable!  I tend to hate how strapless dresses cut my underarm fat but this one makes me happy.  Plus the braiding and pleats are perfect for flattery!

First Day of School

I've only been out of school for two years (okay... college), but every fall, I get the itch.  I don't know if it's all the new styles, the changing weather, or the back-to-school supplies just begging for me to purchase, but there's just something about this time of year that makes me happy.  Here are some of my choices for that first day:
