Guess what today is... My 4 year blog anniversary! I can't believe it's been four years since I started this little blog. In those years I've met new friends, some of which have become real life friends too. I started this blog not planning to post any outfits, and now 4 years later I have shared over 450 outfits. I've done a photoshoot for one of my favorite online stores and was chosen to be part of Marshalls Project Fab. Slowly but surely this blog is helping me overcome my fear of social situations, something I've struggled with for years. And now it's on to the next adventure!

Apparently I was into green this week, ha ha. It was gorgeous, weather-wise this week, except for bits of rain, which are only fun when you're able to be inside with a blanket watching movies.

Monday: Sweater: Kenar c/o Marshalls, Skirt: Chanel (Roundabout Resale), Shoes: MICHAEL Michael Kors (DSW), Necklace: Acanthus Jewelry (giveaway) Watch: Skagen (Rue La La), Rings: vintage, Brilliant Imports & Mom's

Tuesday:  Top: Winter Kate (Hautelook), Jeans: J Brand c/o Marshalls, Wedges: Steve Madden (DSW), Necklace: SparkleFarm (etsy), Watch: Skagen (Rue La La), Rings: vintage, Brilliant Imports & Mom's
Here is what I wore on my birthday a week and a half ago.  I went with a super comfortable look and wore my new Zara sweater that I scored for $20. You may also notice I've become a bit obsessed with my new boots.  As you can see in the last photo, my birthday was purple themed. Even a bunch of my presents were purple. I'm not one to make a big deal of my birthday so we just had a family dinner and hung out.

Sweater: Zara, Jeans: rag & bone (Shopbop), Boots: Eighteen68 'Megan' (Gilt),  Bag: Chanel (Madison Avenue Couture), Necklace: Francesca's, Watch: Skagen (Rue La La), Rings: vintage & Mom's


I wore this to my sort-of birthday brunch with Lydia and Christine this past weekend.  They were so kind and each brought me a present! Christine gave me an ADORABLE elephant necklace which I promptly put on and Lydia gave me an Anthropologie dress I had seen at a thrift store months ago and mentioned in this post.  Unfortunately the necklace broke when I was at my aunt's house, which was unfortunate. :(

After brunch we headed to one of our favorite shopping destinations - Coco's! They were having a 50% off dresses sale and luckily I found 2 great dresses. One that had no brand, which I bought for $10 and THEN I got the ultimate score - a Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress for $34!

I'm finally wearing my new-to-me Chanel skirt that I bought a couple months ago. It is a weird grey/purple color but I think it's more purple than grey. And be ready to see a lot of this sweater again this year.  I wore it to death last Fall/Winter and this one will be the same.  I wore it twice in one weekend so you'll see another outfit with it shortly. Check out my adorable new owl coin purse! My sister got one a couple years ago at a Renaissance Fair and I had been jealous ever since. Imagine my surprise when she gave me a purple one for my birthday this year!

Today is my 25th birthday! I'm now 1/4 century old, time sure does fly. I was going to take the day off from work, but something came up so I'll be working a half day from home.  After that I will probably do nothing, watch some movies and then I'll go home to my parents for dinner and cake.




I can't believe it has been three years since I started this blog! It is really funny looking back at my old posts, most of them are horrible but I refuse to delete them.  It shows how much I have grown in so many aspects.  Blogging has helped me in so many ways. I am slowly becoming more talkative in social situations and I think I have to thank my blogging buddies (you know who you are!) for some of that.  Speaking of blogger friends, it has been so amazing meeting bloggers over these past few years, many of which are now real life friends as opposed to just internet.

In honor of the blogiversary here is a tiny selection of some of my favorite outfits/posts over the past 1,095 days! Sorry there are so many! I narrowed it down a bit for you though.

Looking through all my posts made me want to revive and old series I used to do, Obscure Movies, but no one really commented on them so I stopped.  I posted my favorite, unknown to most people, movies.  What do you think?
