In the past week I've learned a couple of things that it probably shouldn't have taken me this long to figure out. First up is how to correctly use the diffuser on my hair dryer. Second, how to roll my shirt sleeves so they're comfortable and don't have to be readjusted all day long. Speaking of shirts, raise your hand if you love a good plaid button-up for fall and winter. This one from Old Navy is so soft and comes in lots of other colors. One thing about plaid is that if you don't wear it just right, it comes off looking like a lumberjack. To avoid that, try wearing a statement necklace, and if you're wearing it with jeans try some with an interesting detail like my raw hems. I also tied mine up to keep it a little more on trend (although I will say I tied it a little shorter than I intended).
I'm your mom friend who's probably overdressed for the occasion, would rather drink Mountain Dew than wine, and definitely stayed up too late reading last night. Thanks for joining me on this crazy journey!
Wow. The last two weeks have been absolutely wild. Still, I can't believe I haven't posted since September 22nd! A lot has happened ...
