Let it snow!
I am in love with winter. About four hours after I took these pictures, it started to snow. One of my husband’s cousins (cousin-in-law?) commented that people from the west coast are weird when I expressed my excitement about it, but hey: when it basically usually just rains all winter, snow is EXCITING! I have learned three things so far during this Dressember challenge/fundraiser: one, I tend to get more motivated to take outfit pictures the more often I take them; two, I really am not used to scheduling posts so far ahead; and three, if you get the proportions right, you can wear anything.

You’ve probably already noticed I belt pretty much everything, and I think belting it is the one thing everyone can do. Whether you belt it high or low, putting a belt on it adds visual interest and usually creates a waist…

Dressember 2013
Yesterday, as I was scrolling through my Instagram feed, I came across this post from Cut and Chic vintage, and it sparked my interest. I have been thinking about more ways to utilize blogging in positive ways, so I did a little more research about it. The campaign she posted about is called Dressember, and it is an awesome way to use an interest in fashion to impact the world for good. For the entire month of December, women everywhere can wear a dress every day of the month to raise money and awareness in alignment with International Justice Mission that will help rescue victims of slavery, sex trafficking, and…
