Since we’ve last talked – I’ve turned another year older!  I always find birthdays a good time to set some new goals for myself, and this year (ahem, my 26th) I’m hoping to really grow upon some of the seeds I planted in the past year.  One of which is this blog…

When I first started the blog I didn’t even really consider doing outfit posts, and even once I started sharing my outfits (quite tentatively), I didn’t really think I’d keep up with it.  Now, to my continued surprise, they are my most viewed posts and perhaps my favorites to share.  And as an added bonus, I find myself taking more risks with my style.  Maybe it’s my proximity to a county by the same name – but I can’t get enough of Orange these days.  I played with a bit of a 60’s/70’s influence on this look, and went head to heels in the retro shade, breaking things up with a lace mini and this amazing tooled vintage leather handbag that my sister gifted me a few Christmas’ back.  (Oh, and please excuse the slight squinting in these photos.  This California sun seems endless these days.  As evidenced by my increasingly tan legs… not that you’ll find me complaining.)
