So it’s been a few days since the New Year and I’ve been taking on the frustrating, tiresome, and seemingly unending task of cleaning out and streamlining my wardrobe. Yesterday I cleaned out 4 large bags of clothing to be donated, and yet somehow my closets and drawers are still full.
In thinking about what I [...]

Autumn is hands down my favorite season of the year. Not only is the weather perfect, but it always has the best clothing options. Now, I love a nice spring dress as much as the next girl, but autumn is just the perfect backdrop for gorgeous clothes. Even though it’s still the middle of August, [...]
