i am wearing: tart trapeze tank, old navy wrap vest, express leggings, whbm ruffled wool coat (now on sale), steve madden linderr boots, f21 ring, anthropologie belt and a thrifted necklace.

you guys, i can’t believe it but my ONE YEAR BLOGIVERSARY is in TEN days. i seriously can NOT believe it has been a YEAR. i started this blog to inspire myself to become “the stylish housewife”. i don’t think i will ever refer to myself as stylish but i have THOROUGHLY enjoyed sharing my journey with you. this blog has given me the courage to step out of my comfort zone and try so many things that i never would have before. and i have you guys to thank for encouraging me. so to celebrate, next week will be a “week of giveaways”! i appreciate each and every one of you. xoxo

p.s. how naked do my nails look? =) i found this necklace at an estate sale for $5. yay!

    When I saw this title & the picture of your nails, I thought the big news was that you didn’t have them painted…LOL! I am so excited for your big blogiversary – congrats!! That is a major milestone & I’m so glad I found your site when I did. Can’t wait to meet you in person next summer & hang out like “real” friends! 🙂
