Out of the woods and into the new year with many new and exciting adventures ahead! Some of my most exciting upcoming events include: 

• Celebrating 5 amazing years of being in a relationship with my best friend/boyfriend in a couple days, which totals over 12 years of friendship!!!

• We'll be continuing our new tradition of spending Valentine's Day camping with close friends in Eddie's new truck

• We'll be finishing the rebuild of our home, painting & decorating it, and then finally moving in together...SOON-ish! lol

• My godson will be entering the world within a couple weeks! And I'm so excited to meet this little nugget! 

It's only the first day of the year and there's already so much happening! I can't wait to see what else is in store for 2015, but I have a pretty good feeling it's going to be another great and fulfilling year with many more life lessons. As long as I continue surrounding myself with positive and loving people, I know I can take on any curve balls life may throw my way. Wishing you all another year full of laughter and love. 

Rule Breaker

Since Labor Day was last week, I should probably pack away the whole white section of my closet...right?! Nuh uh!...I don't think so....I love my whites way too much to only reserve it for Spring and Summer!

Some rules are just meant to be broken like this old school "fashion rule" that you can't wear white after Labor Day. Obviously nobody really follows it anymore because white is a year-round color in this day and age. But I'll pretend like I'm a badass and proclaim myself as a rule breaker with this white maxi dress from Elliatt! Plus, it's really all about bending and breaking the rules of fashion now. Like I always say, "Life is too short to wear boring clothes"! So go experiment and have fun with fashion...while defying all those "fashion rules".

I styled this sheer striped maxi dress with some killer Jeffrey Campbell silver gladiator heels, a braided silver belt, and some silver jewelry. Have a happy Monday, y'all!
