Dress: Target (new from Goodwill) Cardigan: Target Leggings: Target Boots: Guess Belt: The Limited

I figured out how to make a header for my blog!  It's nothing special, but it is certainly an improvement.  I'm slowly trying to learn how to customize my blog.  As readers, is there anything specific you'd like to see in my blog design?  Any elements you love on other blogs that I've forgotten to add?  I'm always open to feedback :)

I love, love, love this dress.  I found it at Goodwill several years ago - a brand new Target dress (with tags) for only $4?  Yes please.  Shortly after purchasing this dress, I became interested in fashion and style blogs.  Since then, I can think of four bloggers (Kendi, Whitney, Audrey, and Liz) off the top of my head who have or had this dress and have styled it beautifully!  Is it just me, or does anyone else get super excited when they see items in their own closet that other bloggers have?

Overwhelmed...

I am usually such a go-getter, but my energy is wearing thin right now.  I'm incredibly busy with school and work, but I'm still trying to carve out time to be with Kevin, keep in touch with friends and family, and volunteer at the animal shelter (OH! And blog!).  When life gets overwhelming, I like to just have a little time to sit, think, and debrief, and yet I'm not finding many minutes in the day to do so.  I'm a big list maker, so I spent some time this morning making a long list of all the things I need to do for each section of life.  It is a lot, but I like to see everything I have to do...plus, the satisfaction I feel after crossing things off my list is the best.

I took a better picture of my tights!  I wore these tights in this post, but didn't get a good shot of the leopard pattern.  I like how they add interest to an otherwise plain outfit.  Also, apparently, I don't wear these tights with anything other than black and green.  I'm going to have to branch out next time!
