MISSING SUMMER

So excited about the holidays that are in the upcoming. From gift wrap, holiday lights, to board games, everything brings such a peace about this time of year. I love the ambiance that is all around us. So because winter is rolling in so quickly, I thought I needed to hurry and post this last outfit of mine that will show off even a teensy bit of skin. These photos were taken by the lovely Meagan from Hearts of Gold a few months back. She is fabulous at what she does.

Hope you enjoy.

SUMMER BREEZE

Happy Monday! jk, i know it is Wednesday. It just feels like Monday because this week is going by so slow. That's what life feels like when you have a sick child but thank goodness she is back on her feet! This outfit is so fun with the bright colored shirt and polka dot skater skirt. I think it would also look darling with a crop top or a loose fitted shirt half tucked in. These skater skirts have lots going for them!
