Even though these photos were taken back at the beginning of the summer, this an outfit that can easily transition to fall by switching the shoes (I'd go with either a pair of heeled ankle boots or closed-toe flats) and throwing on a scarf &/or light sweater! Also, a red lip is another great addition to your fall outfits, as it provides a great pop of color against fall hats and scarves. 

Also, a shout-out to my handsome husband below! :) He's truly my best friend for life. Thanks for stopping by!

Well, we're here! The last day of 2013. I don't think a single blog post could contain all that happened this past year. Without a doubt, getting married to my best friend was completely life-changing and the best thing that's ever happened to me next to my relationship with Jesus! The love and support from family and friends has been and continues to be humbling and overwhelming. We feel incredibly blessed and are filled with contentment and joy as we enter 2014! 

Also, I must say I am extremely grateful to each of you who stop by this blog and appreciate your support and feedback! This truly is like a "retreat" for me, and another outlet to express creativity, whether it be through sharing outfit inspiration, home decor or simply what's going on in my life! 

Have a safe New Year's Eve, and I'll see you in 2014! :)

I wore this outfit to a Ben Rector concert Reed and I attended this past weekend. We LOVE Ben Rector. It was our third time to see him together, my fourth time total. We used at least 3 of his songs throughout the course of our wedding. We're just a little obsessed.

I've noticed lately on almost a daily basis that I've been answering "Target" for any given item of clothing or accessory I'm wearing. I'm literally wearing it head-to-toe in the outfit above. So I guess that means I'm just a little obsessed with Target as well. When I find a band/artist I love, I can't help but go all out. I have the need to get every album they've ever released (on our way home from the concert, Reed and I found an album by Ben that we didn't own and immediately proceeded to download it from iTunes). I guess the same can be said for stores I love. Within reason of course. I promise I haven't bought everything from Target's fall line :).

From a serious, practical standpoint though, buying multiple items from the same line or collection at any store can make creating outfits much easier, almost to the point where they create themselves! This is such a blessing when life gets hectic, just like it's starting to become with the holidays around the corner.

Holidays. Wow. Are we really this close to Thanksgiving and Christmas??? Heaven help us :)

Thanks for stopping by, I know I've slacked over the past couple of weeks! Thanks for bearing with me! :)
