Beginning to End


Is it really New Years Eve already? I can't believe how fast 2012 went by, but then again, it feels like that every year, doesn't it? This year was definitely a big one - I started my job as the entertainment editor of my campus' paper, I got my new job as editor-in-chief, I made some tough decisions regarding my personal life, I met T.J., and most importantly, I started this blog. I know every single blogger has been saying this, but I can't begin to explain how much I enjoy blogging, the friends I've made from it, and my amazing readers. We also started Flock Together, which has been nothing sort of incredible. The Flock Together girls have been absolutely incredible and a joy to get to know. I don't know about you, but I can't wait to see where both of these blogs are headed in 2013.

Speaking of Flock Together, this beauty of a dress belongs to Jessica of Midwest Muse. I swear I've borrowed half of her clothes, but I can't help that everything she owns is gorgeous. This dress had been on my Modcloth wishlist for as long as I can remember, so I practically pounced on it the second she put it up for swap. Worth it. This dress is seriously a dream, the colors are to-die-for and the fit is perfect. Giving borrowed items back is absolute torture. You can see how she wore it earlier this year (don't you miss bare arms?) here.









Also from Modcloth (other than most of my closet)? These shoes, which my parents got me for Christmas. I've practically been living in them, they go with everything. Don't be surprised if they show up almost every day on here.

I hope everyone has a wonderful New Years!

Dress: borrowed from Jessica
Sweater: Old Navy
