One Year Ago...

... I decided to start this little blog.

At the time, I wasn't totally sure about the whole idea, and definitely didn't think I'd still be keeping up with it a year later. It also blows my mind that there's people out there that actually READ my blog and (hopefully) take some ideas away from my posts. 

Part of what keeps me so inspired to keep up with blogging are the people I've met. Of course, I haven't met most of you in real life, but I still feel like we'd be friends! It's just so much fun to be part of a community of people who all share a similar hobby and in many cases, similar interests as well. 

Another thing I love about blogging is the fact that you are always learning something new. 

I look back at my posts from the beginning and can't help but cringe just a little bit. I'm sure I'll have that same feeling a year from now, too! As I go, I see myself getting better at photography, design, even how to act in front of the camera. It's really neat to look back and see that progress. 

To celebrate, I've put together a collage with some of the outfits I've shared over the last year. I started with one of the first outfits I've ever posted, ended with one of the most recent, and have a few in between.

Thank you to everyone who reads this blog. I hope you'll join me as I start year 2!!

  26. I totally feel the same way about my older posts. My blog is a little over a year old, and some of those first posts are definitely cringe-worthy. But I do love to look back and see how much things have changed.
